    I don't know what to think of this source of inspiration they're going for. We'll have to just wait for the release and see what to make of it. This version of Star Trek will be greatly different from what we know so far - I reckon.

    I wonder how much this is driven by the studio/producers in regards to 'controlling' the actor/actresses' future salary negotiations. Is this a subtle threat to actors' future desire for massive salary increases?

    How many times do we hear about someone leaving a show over salary disagreements?

    I don't quite think I am ready for beloved Trek characters to be ripped away from us so soon, (RIP Jadzia Dax, Daughter of the house of Martok) I am not sure trek is quite about that, yes we saw countless ships destroyed, but it didn't feel as personal. It might shake the dystopian type future that trek does have (Specifically if it does go the Game of Thrones side.)

    But who knows, maybe it will show a darker side of the federation, it could be really excellent.

    Waaaait, am I misunderstanding something?

    'However the co-showrunner, Gretchen J. Berg, made reference to how Game of Thrones had changed television, when speaking with Entertainment Weekly about the show. Saying that "They almost made it difficult to fall in love with people because you didn’t know if they were going to be taken away from you.". This could imply that we could see some big deaths happening in Discovery, but with that, we would have to be introduced to newer main characters. Unlike Game of Thrones, Star Trek often has a smaller cast of important characters appearing on screen, so it could be interesting.'

    This "COULD imply that we could see some big deaths happening in Discovery?" First, it's just the author's opinion of a possible implication.

    Second, I took that to mean that they AREN'T going to kill off any main characters because it'd be "difficult to fall in love with people because you didn’t know if they were going to be taken away from you." Sounds to me like he's wanting to avoid that.
