Heya P1!
Sounds fine. My only recollection of Ms. Romijn’s screen work is watching the first episode of “The Librarians” (not really my taste in shows), but based on that she seems like she could be a good fit. I think that it would have been interesting if the DISCO team had gone back to Gene’s original casting idea for Number One, which was described to be “slim and dark in a Nile Valley way” (read: not a white lady), but I imagine that the show people have their reasons, hopefully GOOD ones (like honoring Majel Barrett’s initial portrayal of the character or something).
Edit: I was just reminded that Romijn was in the X-Men movies!!! As Mystique of all people! Damn, that’s a nerd fail for me. 🙁

Wonderful show everyone. Looking forward to Age of Discovery.
I think RR is a wonderful actress and could do the part justice.

These iconic roles just continue to be filled with great choices of actors and actress’ that I can no longer contain my excitment for season 2 of Discoery. So without Adu (I hope Kennah reads this off) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I couldn’t make it to STLV this year, P1, Bt I shall be saving for next year! Have fun and stay out of the heat.
