Who would make a great new Captain for Discovery?

[Lord Garth]

EDIT: The title should read "Who would make a great new Captain for Discovery?"

Only Rule: Can't use current characters in the series.
Only Other Rule: They don't have to be Star Trek characters.

I think John Shaft would make for a good Captain of Discovery. "They say that kat Shaft is a bad mutha--" "Shut yo mouth!" "I'm just talkin' about Shaft!" "Then we can dig it!"

David Attenborough with the Queen as his Number One. They might be a tad old but they are such a delight together. Actually that should be the Queen as Captain and David can be Number One.

He did come into his own being Captain.

I have a feeling they're going to hit it out of the park with the new captain. I don't know why...but I have a really good feeling about this one.

Shouldn't the new Captain have been cast by now?

Shouldn't the new Captain have been cast by now?

They are shooting the first episodes, IIRC, so they almost certainly have been. Though it's entirely possible that whatever happens with Pike and the Enterprise takes up the first two episodes of the season, which means the new Captain might not appear till the third episode.

Peggy Olson, the mature version who swaggered her way into McCann. I'll never forget her walking in with the cigarette and that painting. She could fit the Discovery aesthetic to a T.

Jon Hamm is captain material for real, but he's probably too similar to Jason Isaacs.
