While Lorca’s role may prove less substantial than past captains in terms of the story, let’s hope Issacs’ original character gets enough screen time to be in that age-old conversation of Star Trek;s greatest captains in franchise history.
Captain Lorca’s garb is certainly different than the traditional uniforms we’ve seen in the past, but then, he’s different than most Star Trek captains.
In Star Trek: Discovery, Jason Issacs will play support to Sonequa Martin-Green’s Michael Burnham, first officer on the ship.
With his character described as a brilliant military tactician, Lorca could very well be the most battle-hardened of them all.
