A black female lead on a Sci-Fi show as big as Star Trek? :whew:
A black female lead .... named Michael ... who is Spock's adopted sister.

:stopitslime:

Black girl is a foster, not from a strong black family unit like Geordi's accomplished parents, or even Sisko's.

There was no reason to redesign the Klingons the way they did, especially since this is the past and the Fed is at war with the Klingons.

That trailer feels anti-black.

Cliff notes:
Fuller envisioned the show as an anthology series that would begin with Star Trek: Discovery in much the same vein as American Horror Story

He wanted a woman of color to be the lead of the Trek revival and wanted greater representation for black people and asian people.

Fuller’s relationship with CBS became strained due to the budget for Discovery, then the strain of trying to meet the February 2017 launch date and then they clashed over who would direct the pilot...Fuller wanted Edgar Wright, CBS wanted David Semel

CBS was frustrated that Fuller was spending too much time working on American Gods

AMC refused to officially release Sonequa Martin Green until her Walking Dead character died on screen in May 2017

After months of backstage tension, CBS asked Fuller to step down and eventually some of Fuller’s ideas for the show were thrown out

I cant stand when networks do this whats the point of getting a showrunner if you not gonna let him run things lol.

Fuller is a pedophile in a land of pedophiles. Whatever the official reason is, there's probably more to the story. Who did he really piss off?
