Star Trek: Discovery Producer Confirms Michelle Yeoh Will Return

Executive producer Gretchen J.Berg confirmed that we haven’t seen the last of the Federation captain, who was killed in the second half of the two-hour premiere, “The Battle of the Binary Stars.”

“You will see more of this woman on the show,“ she said.

Yeoh made a surprise appearance, posing as a fan in a mask asking a question before revealing her true identity. After joining the cast on stage, she had harsh words for Jason Isaacs’ Captain Lorca. "I’m telling you Captain Gabriel Lorca,” she began, “if you don’t look after my baby girl I’m going to kick your ass.”

When the newest offshoot of the Star Trek franchise finally makes its way to CBS: All Access on Sept. 24, it won't have arrived after the smoothest of flights. In fact, the show's takeoff was quite bumpy, losing a crucial component along the way. Wha…

Fuck you GRRM 😒.

I really want him to finish the series but I also really want to signal boost Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor. It is an amazing dystopian novel that unflincingly confronts the horrible personal and social effects of war time rape when it is used as a weapon against an entire social group. It is a dystopian sci-fi novel that also reads a lot like a strange kind of magical realism.

Here’s a description:

In a far future, post-nuclear-holocaust Africa, genocide plagues one region. The aggressors, the Nuru, have decided to follow the Great Book and exterminate the Okeke. But when the only surviving member of a slain Okeke village is brutally raped, she manages to escape, wandering farther into the desert.

She gives birth to a baby girl with hair and skin the color of sand and instinctively knows that her daughter is different. She names her daughter Onyesonwu, which means “Who Fears Death?” in an ancient African tongue.

Reared under the tutelage of a mysterious and traditional shaman, Onyesonwu discovers her magical destiny - to end the genocide of her people. The journey to fulfill her destiny will force her to grapple with nature, tradition, history, true love, the spiritual mysteries of her culture - and eventually death itself.

Okorafor has also written a prequel to this story, The Book of Phoenix, that I’ll also strongly recommend.

However, I really don’t want GRRM to be involved with this project because I do think he has a significant blindspot when it comes to both sexual violence and racism. I really want the people in charge of the adaptation of this piece of literature to be women of colour and not an old white man. Representation matters immensely and I can think of several artists who are significantly more qualified than GRRM to bring this particular story to the screen. I simply don’t trust him to do this story justice.

I’d also like to note how f*cking angry I am that this news is presented WITHOUT mentioning the author of the book that’s to be adapted. This isn’t the only place this has happended. Nnedi Okorafor has literally been erased in the reporting of this news - it is her work that’s being adapted! Show some frigging respect!!!!!!

This sounds awesome. My penchant would have been for a more intersectional adaptor, but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Hold your horses, Martin is only going to be a executive producer, not the showrunner. He even wrote about that on his blog http://grrm.livejournal.com/542263.html

This shows sounds totally awesome and i’m obviously going to see it.
