This was at least partly because, following its excellent pilot, it got off to a rather slow start. That was definitely a choice on our part and will continue on our show.Poor Star Trek: Voyager spent many years as the under-appreciated black sheep of the Star Trek family (until Enterprise came along, at least). It gives us time to explore some of our characters who we normally we wouldn't have time to explore. We got to explore a story of the week or a villain of the week. "We also wanted to give the show more of an episodic feel, in season three, and we knew that going in. " Discovery has that sort of serialised-season-long story baked into its DNA," Paradise says. That promise will be paid off."Īnd the showrunner also confirmed that season four would continue to use the more episodic structure of season three, as opposed to the season-long arcs of seasons one and two. And to be super clear, we will pay that moment off in Season 4. "We will continue to do that for the show, and the world we live in, but also, to honour the Star Trek legacy. It matters that there is a gay couple on our show. It matters that there is a Black woman in the captain's chair. It matters there are non-binary and transgender characters.
It matters to see a version of yourself on screen. In a separate interview with Inverse, Michelle Paradise confirmed Gray's importance to season four. It's really fun to explore those layers of gender and identity in this future that's so far ahead of where we are, where it doesn't really matter." "The idea of trans authenticity – having a trans actor playing a trans character – has been something I bring to each project. Michelle and Alex have this whole vision that I'm very, very excited for everyone to be able to see. "Especially for season four – which I won't talk about! – I've had a lot more hands-on involvement, like my suggestions about the future for Gray. It's really empowering to know how much safer the world is becoming for us."Īnd Gray will be returning for season 4, with Alexander having significant involvement in the development of the character. Now we finally get to be visible and have our voices heard. "Trans people have been erased from history for so long, but we've always been here. "I'm really grateful because this is opening the door for so many other people," Alexander said (via Inverse). Of course, season three also introduced the first trans actor to the Star Trek franchise, with Ian Alexander playing popular new character Gray.
