Only in Star Trek could we get a main character who is a mycologist. All three are well established actors who've received awards for their work. I'm sure they'll be fine

Have they finalised the ship design yet? I really hope they reconsider that monstrosity that they had in that teaser trailer. They based it off one of the most ugly pieces of concept art for Phase II, hell even Rodenberry hated it. I'm all for them using designs from the era around the motion picture with the more blocky designs but from what I understand the show is taking place before even TOS? So surely the designs would be more 60's orrientated with smooth circular and tube style designs to coincide with TOS.
As for the cast, they look to be well regarded in their field. Will be intersted to see who's going to be the man/women sitting in the big chair.

One of the rumors for the ship is it is a joint Fed-Klingon venture which is why its has a saucer and the triangular hull, nice idea but I am hoping they alter the design too (it is soooo fugly!).
If you take another look the article states that:-

I'm sure we'll hear a bit more about that later down the line, they have still yet to announce the main character yet
I don't think I have seen any of the shows these actors have appeared in, maybe a few of the films but their faces don't really make any memories come flooding back for me. Wonder if there will be any cast members I recognise!

Personally I hope they go for new/not commonly known talent over famous faces, akin to Star Wars (not the awful prequels!). New Series = Fresh Faces = Success? I hope so

I do understand what you mean with regards to a joint Fed/KDF venture... but given the place of the show in the timeline (pre TOS or thereabouts from what I've read) the Klinks and Feds utterly detested each other. You'd more likely get the Borg and Undine/8472 to have a get together and have tea and scones without the ensuing assimilation/complete destruction that we saw in Voyager than get the Klingons and Fed's to agree on a joint space exploration venture xD.
In TOS every encounter with the Klingons resulting in either one of the following, or a combination of:
- Fist fights
- Insults/Provocations "He called the Enterprise a GARBAGE SCOWL!"
- Space pew pew....
- More space pew pew
- Space pew pew with boarding parties (see first point )
- Verge of all out war (Organian treaty)
So yeah, it would have to either be extremely well laid out of just a complete joke for it to be a joint venture I think. Post Khitomer Accords? Yeah, I'd dig that... but not before.
