Discovery’s Jason Isaacs Makes a Strong Case for ‘Yes’ < < Rotten Tomatoes – Movie and TV News. Star Trek: Discovery had to establish its lethal new world in the series’ introductory two episodes.

That meant immediately losing one beloved leader, Captain Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh). But now, with episode 3, “Context Is for Kings,” which debuted on Sunday, all bets are off. The story leaps into a treacherous new landscape directed by what seems so far to be an unpredictable leader, Captain Gabriel Lorca. Lorca is portrayed by Harry Potter franchise alum Jason Isaacs — that’s right, the guy who brought Draco Malfoy’s sinister dad, Lucius, to life is at the helm of this starship.

And we couldn’t be happier. In episode 3, lead character Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin- Green) eventually deduces that she’s been kidnapped out of her prison transport by Lorca, who, under the guise of “no free rides,” puts her to work. It’s all a test. Lorca has been in control since before she even stepped on that shuttle. Rotten Tomatoes got an early look at the episode and spoke to Isaacs before it hit audiences to learn a bit more about what makes Lorca tick — and if that ticking we hear might just be a time bomb.

While he couldn’t reveal story to come, of course, he did talk to us about the introduction of the Star Trek universe’s newest captain. After an “accident” on the prison shuttle, the series engages in some starship porn, including the sexiest tractor- beam action in our Star Trek memory (feel free to disagree in the comments).  It’s Fifty Shades of Star Trek, starring fresh–off–the–assembly line U.

S. S. Discovery. The shuttle rescued, introductions made, and a lunchroom dust- up diffused, the starship’s security chief, Commander Landry (Rekha Sharma), deposits Burnham in Lorca’s ready room. Time to meet the captain. Watch The Pacific And Eddy Streaming.

In a fantastic touch of visual storytelling, stars scattered across a black field reflect in Lorca’s eyes as he apologizes, his back to Burnham, for the darkened room. A recent battle wound requires that he allow his eyes to slowly adjust to light.“I wanted to think it makes me mysterious,” he says, turns, and pauses. No?”Lorca doesn’t care really. He’s not a guy who looks for approval, it strikes us. It’s another test maybe: Will Burnham be lured into a game of small talk and social pleasantries? No. Over the course of the rest of the episode, we find out that this Captain Lorca isn’t playing by the standard rules of engagement — war, interpersonal, or otherwise.

Wartime requires a strategist, and someone, we suspect from this initial glimpse of Lorca, who’s going to throw the rulebooks out of the window. But first he’s going to set them on fire and lay some explosives for good measure.

That’s a guess. We’ll see as the season goes on. But prepare yourself: If either James T. Kirk or Jean- Luc Picard were previously your favorite captain, with this enigmatic new commander, you may find yourself rethinking your allegiances. Debbie Day for Rotten Tomatoes: I am so excited to talk to you after seeing episode 3. Oh. My. Goodness.

Isaacs: Well you have an advantage, because I haven’t seen it. RT: Sorry, what? Really? Isaacs: Yeah, I haven’t seen it.

I’m just looking through the script as I’m talking to you to remind myself what’s in it since we have shot many, many, many hours. Just to remember. I know it’s when you first meet me. I remember that, for sure. RT: Yes, it’s where we first meet you, and it’s such an epic moment — for, I think, any starship captain, the big introduction to the character. No pressure. So let’s just start at the beginning: How does it feel to take on that role? Isaacs: You know, if I even began to think that I was taking on a starship captain I would collapse in a little pile of jelly.

So, it’s just a part. It’s a guy who’s in charge of a spaceship trying to win a war. And I’ve got, you know, various agendas and various cracks in my makeup and stuff, and all the other stuff actually occasionally hits you in waves.

The Hyperspace Arsenal trope as used in popular culture. Video game characters, particularly in Adventure Games and First Person Shooters, have the seemingly.

You try not to think about it. So when I stood there and I had the first scene in which I said, “Energize,” a little kind of out- of- body experience and thought, F— me, I just said, “Energize.” Why is nobody else paying attention to that? You know? Why isn’t anybody else kind of welling with tears? But most of the time, in order to stay loose and in order to, you know, do the job, which is to try to win the war, I forget about all of it. I try and — successfully, I think — cast from my mind anybody’s expectations and any of the legacy of it. Because you just couldn’t get out of bed. RT: I get that. The “energize” — for me, as a fan of the franchise, it was a big moment.

Isaacs: Right. RT: I had to re- watch it, because I thought, Wait, how did he say it? Isaacs: I mean, you’ve just got to throw it away. Everything in life for me is a tennis metaphor because I’m a tennis player. And you see these people come on who are perfectly able to win, they come on the center court, and they freeze up. And they play like they’ve never held a racket before.

And it’s always tension and it’s always expectation and stuff, and so my job is to — if you came to the set, you’d see me clowning around, making appalling jokes, playing bad music, singing in an annoying fashion, and it’s all just to keep myself completely in the moment and fresh and banish any thoughts of Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy hitting those dizzy heights. RT: That brings up some other questions. You said in a CBS video —Isaacs: Oh, if there’s actual video then I can’t pretend I didn’t say it. Damn, OK. RT: You said that William Shatner was your captain.

Isaacs: Yeah. He wasn’t just my captain; he was my idea of what a man was. RT: Oh? Isaacs: I was a kid, clammed on the couch there, and that’s — in my family, I don’t mean to describe the cultural desert I lived in in any negative way, it was fantastic, but all we ever did was watch television — that was my entire cultural life. And so all of my pictures of what the world was, and who I might be, and what choices you had came from these characters on television. And he seared himself into my mind. Watch Charlie &Amp; Boots 4Shared. He was a swaggering, macho, witty, fearless, loyal, tough, you know, starship captain. And I’m sure — I’m 1. I never lived up to any of those things in my head, but he became part of the thing that you model yourself on.

RT: I ask this in all sincerity: Which genius can we credit with you being cast in this role? Isaacs: Oh, I have absolutely no idea.

You know, here’s the thing: You can ask them, and they’ll say they never had anyone else in mind. That’s what people say all the time when they’ve gone through 1. Maverick Full Movie In English. I’ve no idea why I’m in this; I haven’t worked with any of the people before. I’ve worked with all the crew before, on a series called The State Within.

I got there and recognized all of them. But, who thought I was a good idea? I don’t know, and we actually had quite a lengthy chat.

At first, I was quite reluctant to jump in, because it’s one long story — I wanted to know what the long story was. And there was a kind of little dance around each other, and on the second Skype call, with a whole bunch of them, at some point Akiva Goldsman stepped in and said, “Look, I’ll be honest with you, we’re not quite sure yet. We want you to be part of the discussion.” And that was what swung it for me, because, unlike the normal Star Trek weekly morality play, this is one rich, complex, single tale.

And I wanted to have some idea of where I was going and what was going to happen, and it was the moment they kind of went, “Come and join the party. These are our ideas at the moment. They may change, and we’d like to hear your ideas,” I thought they sounded like a bunch of people I wanted to work with.

RT: I thought, Brilliant! when I heard that you were cast. Isaacs: Thank you so much. I mean, I am aware now, having shot most of it, and having engaged online, all the stuff I cast from my mind is very much front and center and making me walk into lampposts.
