Exciting news to wake up to
Jan. 15th, 2019 06:36 amConfirmed: Michelle Yeoh will be leading a Discovery spin-off focusing on Section 31.
Intriguingly, the showrunners are Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt -- Kim is the first person of colour (and, I think, the first non-American? Definitely the first who is not from an Anglophone country) to run a Trek, and together they're the first young female showrunners. They seem like nice people; maybe more importantly, they wrote "Into the Forest I Go", which for me was one of the highlights of season one.
Incidentally, the Picard series notwithstanding, Yeoh is the oldest actor to lead a Trek series.And the hottest.
I'm about to finish my tea, switch off my computer and leave for Brisbane, but now that reveals are up, I can mention that I wrote "Rainfall" for the Cornwell Fanworks Challenge -- StarfleetBrat requested Kat talking to Amanda, set between "The War Without, The War Within" and "Will You Take My Hand", ie, BEFORE the happy ending. It was a great prompt, and I hope I did it justice.
