Brilliantly portrayed by the marvelous Jason Isaacs, Captain Lorca was one of the most complex and compelling characters to come out of Star Trek. Super fun ...

This magnificient bastard has 10 other Star Trek parody videos he’s done. I have immediately fallen in love.

Thanks to @StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website for notifying me to this on Mastodon. God I am truly in awe of this dude.

    Damn I miss Lorca. What a great character. One of Trek’s best foils. It’s such a shame that they’ll probably never revisit the whole Lorca situation.

      Oh come on, you know they’ll eventually find Prime!Lorca in the mirror universe somewhere.

        I honestly think the soft-reboot in season 3 signals that they have no interest in that. There were a lot of really interesting things from DIS season 1 that I don’t think the current producers will touch them again after the mixed feedback from fans. Lorca, Ash Tyler, the Klingon internal politics of the 22nd century… There are a lot of interesting plot hooks there, but I can’t picture any of them being tugged on given how the Kurtzman shows have evolved.

          On one hand, that’s a good point. On the other, it’s frustrating because none of those interesting plot hooks are what pissed off the fans. After all, everybody loves Klingon internal politics when it’s folks like Gowron and Martok instead of a dude with a speech impediment.
