The final frontier is a scary place . Sure , it might be full of adventure , but as we have a go at it from late Star Trek shows , it ’s also where you get judgment - controlled or forced to fight your buddies to the death . Star Trek : Discovery is taking this one stone’s throw further by not restrict death sentences to Red Shirts . And it ’s all thanks to one phrase : Valar morghulis .
Showrunners Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts toldEntertainment Weeklythat main characters are n’t safe from the abattoir in this latest Star Trek series . They said their approach path was charm by Game of Thrones , where even the most darling , characters could die horribly at any consequence .
“ They almost made it hard to shine in love with people because you did n’t know if they were going to be taken away from you , ” Berg said .

This is n’t the first time a Star Trek show has killed off a protagonist . For model , Tasha Yar was vote down off in the time of year 1 episode “ Skin of Evil . ” However , that was because the actressquit the showand not an designed choice by the showrunners . Harberts did assure fans that Discovery would n’t treat deaths gratuitously or for shock value , sum up : “ When it happens we want to make certain that hoi polloi really feel it . ”
However , it looks likely that it will be Michelle Yeoh ’s Captain Georgiou , who commands the U.S.S. Shenzou ( Lorca is police chief of the U.S.S. Discovery ) and could likely snuff it , leading Sonequa Martin - Green ’s Commander Michael Burnham to betransferredto the Discovery . Unless , the Shenzou is the Discovery in camouflage , which is atheory . deplorably , this comes with a caveat , as killing characters of color and cleaning woman first is seen as a coarse and negative figure . We can hope Star Trek : Discovery does n’t make that fault and challenges itself rather than falling back on old Hollywood use , but that ’s probably not conk to happen . Star Trek : Discovery is set to premier September 24 .
