    Trailers for the new TV show are out. Looks like it will be following the fine Trek tradition of taking a couple of seasons to find its feet ...

    US trailer:

    Dissapointed that the Klingons look like the STNG version, not the version from the original series

    Some good news:

    Star Trek: Discovery's showrunners fired.

    Better news:

    New shows considered, including a Patrick Stewart series.

    Oh no:

    The potential new shows are said to include: A series set at Starfleet Academy from creators Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz. The duo most recently developed the CW’s reboot of “Dynasty” and previously created shows like “Gossip Girl” and Hulu and Marvel’s “Runaways.”

    Maybe they should let Quentin make a Star Wars movie. Of course it has to be a Mace Windu movie!!

    It’s not as good as you think, the show runners were fired because of how they were treating the staff. And the guy now in charge is the one who conceived the whole thing.

    So it shouldn’t be much different, unless you work there 🙂

    I’m very worried about how they are going to handle Spock. He’s been confirmed for season 2.

    Well, killing off the main character is the only way the show could possibly be redeemed. Maybe season 3 won't be absolutely awful!

    I doubt I'll watch the second season. Will watch The Orville though, despite Seth McFarlane.

    It's Star Trek, how would redeeming it be possible?

    I thought the latest Star Trek was well received?

    @nepia Critics (e.g. Zack Handlen at the AV Club) who followed it over the season regarded it as a poorly written mess.

    It's shit.

    How can it be poorly written? Find new planet. Kirk has sex with scantily clad inhabitant. Scotty finds more power. Klingons get defeated. It's logical.
