"Lorca" sounds Hispanic to me. Jason is fluent in Spanish, so maybe he'll use that accent. Just conjecture.

I'm hoping he does a "neutral" accent like he did for the smartest man on the planet (Armageddon) - I don't want to hear my husband complaining that he can't understand him (like he did for Case Histories). I didn't have any problem understanding him but I do want Discovery to be hugely (ugh a Trumpism slipped in - sorry) successful!

It's going to be on Netflix for the rest of us (not US or Canada), Servalan. It's already on there, but no release date yet. Hope we don't have to wait too long.
Re: New project: Star Trek: Discovery (CBS)
Thanks, Thunder.
I think I'll wait until it starts, and then get my free Netflix month!

Good plan
I found this picture of the cast (in a restaurant) on Twitter (@startrekeire):

Ahh. James Frain (second from front right). And we have our villain. (At least that's what he usually plays.)

I know it is not a high res picture but is Jason sporting some facial hair?

Looks like facial hair to me.
Re: New project: Star Trek: Discovery (CBS)
James Frain plays a Vulcan, Sarek (Spock's father).
ST Discovery timeline is a decade before the original so I'm not getting the casting. Unless Vulcans don't age, Spock's father should be a lot older in this series.

Vulcans don't age like humans. That's why Spock was able to appear in TNG, and so was his father Sarek, who had an illness associated with Vulcan old age.

Re: New project: Star Trek: Discovery (CBS)
servalan is correct - 10 years is nothing to a Vulcan.
Re: New project: Star Trek: Discovery (CBS)
Can anyone provide a timeline for all the Treks, including Enterprise, and Voyager? (Too lazy to google and it's more fun to discuss with you guys.)
Re: New project: Star Trek: Discovery (CBS)
Without looking anything up:
Star Trek the Next Generation is later than the original series (TOS).
Voyager and Deep Space Nine are both set around the same time as TNG. Staff from TNG go to DS9 to work (first O'Brien, then later Worf) so the stories are slightly later than TNG.
Voyager is mostly set in a far part of space that Starfleet can't reach, so there is not much crossover of characters with TNG, but one or two do appear when communication is re-established with Starfleet e.g. Picard and Barclay.
Enterprise was made after all these, but is set before TOS. However the look of it is much too slick for it realistically to feel as if it is pre TOS. There is no sign of the 1960s type fashions that characterised TOS, which started in 1966.

Thanks, Servalen. Was Deep Space 9 about the wormhole?
