New Star Trek series

[CNT36]

CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new Star Trek television series in January 2017. The new series will blast off with a special preview broadcast on the CBS Television Network. The premiere episode and all subsequent first-run episodes will then be available exclusively in the United States on CBS All Access, the Network’s digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service.

The next chapter of the Star Trek franchise will also be distributed concurrently for television and multiple platforms around the world by CBS Studios International.

The new program will be the first original series developed specifically for U.S. audiences for CBS All Access, a cross-platform streaming service that brings viewers thousands of episodes from CBS’s current and past seasons on demand, plus the ability to stream their local CBS Television station live for $5.99 per month. CBS All Access already offers every episode of all previous Star Trek television series.

The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.

New Star Trek Series Premieres January 2017


It'll be shit but I'll probably still watch.

 

[YouSir]

I'm up for it, here's hoping it doesn't try to mimmick the shiney crapness of the films though.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

well shit

Alex Kurtzman will serve as executive producer for the new Star Trek TV series. Kurtzman co-wrote and produced the blockbuster films Star Trek (2009) with Roberto Orci, and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

 

[YouSir]

well shit

And there goes any optimism I had... Oh well.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Well it might still be better than enterprise.

 

[YouSir]

Well it might still be better than enterprise.

How small do hopes have to be before you just give up on having them?

 

[Sprocket.]

It's hard to watch a dead horse being flogged!

 

[emanymton]

It can't be any worse than that fan made shit that turned up a few years ago.

 

[Ax^]

is this not star trek federation..

set well into the future of the original timeline

 

[ruffneck23]

It's about time , let's hope it's a goodun , it's nice to see they are releasing the whole first season in one go

 

[SpookyFrank]

Star Trek Into Darkness was one of the most poorly written things I've seen in ages. Even the title is awful.

 

[unrepentant85]

Did anyone watch Star Trek: Renegades, the crowd funded fan film, that came out a few months ago? It had Chekov (Aged 148 ) , Tuvok and Doctor Zimmerman in it. It was distinctly average.

 

[ruffneck23]

It was rubbish

 

[scifisam]

Ooh. X-Files coming back, Firefly possibly returning, Star Trek getting another iteration - it's a good time to be a geek.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

..., Firefly possibly returning, ....

Isn't Captain Hotpants under contract to an ABC show?

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Kill me now.

 

[scifisam]

Isn't Captain Hotpants under contract to an ABC show?

Yes (Castle) but if the new Firefly were a short series, like the new XF, then I'm sure he could fit it in. He'd need to lose some weight though.

 

[Crispy]

Firefly possibly returning

whatwhatwhat?

 

[DotCommunist]

you never know, it might be ok and veer on good.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Firefly possibly returning

whatwhatwhat?

Yes, this??!!!!

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Kill me now.

From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.

 

[DotCommunist]

look, just look. Tell me you don't choke a bit when picard says 'I should have done this along time ago'

this is why we need new star trek

 

[gosub]

look, just look. Tell me you don't choke a bit when picard says 'I should have done this along time ago'

this is why we need new star trek

but they have poker on telly all the time these days

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

 

[toggle]

Ooh. X-Files coming back, Firefly possibly returning, Star Trek getting another iteration - it's a good time to be a geek.

firefly......


fucking yes

 

[Santino]

Firefly was a big load of poo.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Firefly was a big load of poo.

Get out!

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

It wasn't a load of poo but I can't help feel it's massively overhyped.

also how are they going to bring it back? is it going to be set before or after serenity?

 

[DotCommunist]

it was rubbish. Not offensively bad rubbish but at least farscape rubbish. And Captain Jack Harkness has the better glutes.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

.... I know it's bad to say it in company but I did find myself fast forwarding through bits of the show.
