Oh yes, Garth would be nice. Just to piss off the Axanar fans

This whole horseshit with Axanar wouldn't actually be a legal roadblock preventing DSC from using Garth, would it? Even if nothing even remotely related to the word "Axanar" was involved?

Because that would be bad.
 
It's just that whenever anybody thinks of "Axanar" these days, Alec Peters always comes up. Nobody even remembers that the Axanar race (or the Battle of Axanar) were part of Trek canon, before he came along.

So, unfortunately, I can totally see the Fucking Lawyers (tm) trying to put the kibosh on DSC mentioning anything related to the word "Axanar" just because they think Peters has irrevocably tainted the word. :sigh:
 
I

speaking of shippers, there isn’t anyone to ship in this show. :(
Finally! A show I can get behind!!!

I personally would like to see some of the commodores or admirals from TOS era as rank and file or other captains. Stone, Mendez, Captain Nogura, maybe even Kommack. Definitely second seeing Decker and Tracey.

Edit: Ninja'd on Stone by @The Wormhole. I heartily agree though!
 
Sulu isn’t a homosexual in the Prime universe though.
Why think in binary terms, anyway? Can't people be bi? Or queer in some other way? I don't recall anyone claiming that Sulu was strictly heteronormative. I'm not saying they should do anything like that (although I would approve), but I personally believe that by the time the 23rd century comes about, there will be less of a strict binary classification where sexuality is concerned. That tends to happen when you start dating aliens. ;)
 
We need to see a certain Captain Ronald Tracey of the USS Exeter, and Dr. Simon Van Geldar, a rising star in the field of criminal psychology, inexplicably played by the exact same actor in the exact same episode.

Kor

And I expect this will involve a secret diplomatic meeting with the Romulans involving Sarek and a Romulan Bird of Prey commander who is also played by James Frain.

If Nurse Chapel shows up, Jennifer Lawrence could play her. Using Rebecca Romijn wouldn't work so well since Chapel is quite a bit younger than Number One.
 
We need to see a wide-eyed Vulcan space cadet named Sonak, eagerly looking forward to a fascinating, prosperous, agreeable, and really long-lived career in Starfleet.

Kor
nah.
Tom Hanks is too old to play Sonak
 
Maybe a young Kor, a downtrodden augment who's working his way up the ranks.
Not clear how downtrodden he'd be since he still has an entire great house named for him that has a seat on the council and has featured prominently on the show so far. Although it's possible Kol and Kol-Sha just locked him upstairs, looking down on augment Klingons, and ran the show in his name. Now that they're gone, it's time for Kor himself to show up.

In fact, considering this whole "Remain Klingon" business with L'Rell will probably end in disaster once Voq/Tyler and Voq Jr. are proven alive, Kor can lead an augment revolt with Kang and Koloth and have the augments leading the show once L'Rell is taken down. The Klingons, having been lied to by the previous government, may be willing to let the augments have their shot at doing things, explaining why TOS is full of Augments.

After Kor kills L'Rell, Voq Jr. will leave Boreth vowing revenge for his mother's death, leading him to eventually poison Kor's son and become the Albino.

I'd also love to see Chang and Gorkon, although I don't know if CBS can use movie only characters. And I mentioned interest in a shock twist of having young Kirk as a Section 31 member.
 
Sulu's plants
I thought you typed PANT's at first...
