Looks like there are still more changes afoot when it comes to the new series: http://deadline.com/2016/10/star-trek-discovery-bryan-fuller-steps-down-showrunner-1201843506/
This is not good.

Looks a lot like the recent movies, which is to say, terrible (generic space action).Seems like the trailer has been released:
[doublepost=1495060152][/doublepost]And apparently the episode order has been increased to 15 (from 13), along with a new companion show being added: http://deadline.com/2017/05/star-tr...-show-talking-trek-cbs-all-access-1202096297/
It'd be nice if that happens, but given that CBS is doing this exclusively on their on online streaming service it seems like they likely wouldn't want it available on other similar services (at the very least not for quite some time).I might wait for netflix or hulu...
I consider myself a Trekkie, and given my age, I was able to watch the TOS when it first aired
The last series Star Trek: Enterprise had so much promise I was really looking forward to this. I thought they' be getting back more of the roots of Star Trek, yet they messed it up, with so much time travel crap. They had a blank slate to really come up with some new ideas and new villians and all they could do is time travel with the same old topics.
I'll likely watch it on my iMac 27". As said above, not paying to subscribe for 1 good show. And I don't feel like waiting a year for it to show up on Netflix.
EDIT: Just saw that it will be shown on Netflix within 24 hours of original airing. That's acceptable and I already have Netflix.
"Enterprise" had a great concept, but ultimately it was stupid. Scott Bakula's captain should have been fragged by episode two; no captain in modern history has had so little regard for the safety of his crew. And he was ridiculously insistent on projecting his preconceptions on alien behavior, without having the slightest understanding of the history or culture of said aliens. I realize this was pre-Prime Directive and supposed to suggest how naive Earth-people were about space; but c'mon, 98% of the adults I know would have made wiser captains. Horrible, ridiculous writing that destroyed my willingness to suspend disbelief.
You know every season would end with the rebels blowing up a new, different kind of Death Star.
Who am I kidding, I would watch it anyway.
Bummer.The Netflix deal is for non US accounts.
It seems like CBS would want in on a subscription cash cow it that what it turns out to be. Unknown if that will be the case.I won't be subscribing to CBS All Access. I'll probably wait for the initial reviews and plot descriptions to see if it's worth buying a season pass from iTunes (if CBS will let Apple put the show on iTunes).
iber cash cow
I actually kind of wish Netflix can just buy Star Trek off of CBS (or at least viewership rights) because I have more faith in their handling of the creative team than I do with CBS/Moonves.
He did make some boneheaded moves. I just didn't like how they wasted so much time with the Xindi, overuse of time travel and the whole temporal cold war. Still, it was better than Voyager.
That looks pretty terrible
Still, it was better than Voyager.
TNG was crushed by Wesley and lack of a proper story line
ha, ha, this...
Nonetheless, I liked "Enterprise" and bought the Blu-ray series set...
btw - looks like Paramount had released all the Star Trek's as a series set on BR. This, IMHO, is the last physical release of the Star Treks as they will now be available on CBS All Access as well as downloads (though, who knows how long downloads from other sources such as iTunes will last).
CBS could very well make Star Trek available only through their subscription service.
That is the way the TV/Movie industry wants to go anyways - a pay-per-view or subscription service.
(I don't "exclusivity" with this series is going to ever end.)
Not a big achievement that......
I'd say Cpt Archer was closer to reality then Kirk who would solve half the issues by f###ing some alien chick.

DS9 is my alltime favourite (got better and better till the 2nd to last season)
