Trek Returning to TV in 2017!

[Mr Pointy Ears]

Good news for us the fans,but what about fans who lives in other countries and that don't/cant get access to the site like myself?,guess I have to keep wait and and see what will happen.

We have nothing to post but fear itself.

I can't wait.

This.

It is an honor to post my first reply to a Samuel T. Cogley post in I don't know how many years. A new Star Trek series is in the works and Cogley is posting about it.

The good old days are back, baby.

Reviews must be written...

Shit must be stirred...

Challenge, accepted.

This itself is reason enough for CBS to revive Star Trek.

I mean, that post . Just that.

Everything old is new again.

Meet the new Sam. Same as the old Sam.

Does no one actually pay attention around here? It will be sold to foreign distribution just like every other TV series.

You must have access to CBS. Probably cable or satellite TV to see the premier ... $$$$$$

Well, no. CBS is free. Everyone has access to CBS. It's a network.

That doesn't mean that almost everyone pays for either cable or a satellite service.

You won't need cable or satellite at all to watch the premier on CBS. CBS is, and always has been, an over-the-air broadcast network, NOT a cable station. So all you need is an antenna.

I have set my expectations as low as possible.
Considering the guy involved has given us that abomination that is NuTrek I do not hold out much hope.
No mention of whether it will be canon either

That said I had a lot of negative hope for Enterprise, at the time, but it was better than I expected, it was canon and at least made an effort, and while it was far from perfect it was in my opinion the last trek tv, as nu trek does not count.

I do hope I am proven wrong, and it will be canon, set in the usual trek universe and respectful of the previous shows, and none of this alternate rubbish.

Time will tell

I completely agree.

I love all the Trek's, all the movies....but hate the Nu-Trek/Abrahms garbage.

So, as of now, I am feeling excited yet apprehensive about this announcement. I want Prime Timeline Trek, I want morality/philosophy/ethical dilemmas and a 'point' to each episode. I do not want mindless violence, crass over-sexualisation and lens flare.

I really hope they manage to create something worthy of the name 'Star Trek' but I'm not going to build myself up for a disappointment either.

Did you see the word "need" in my post?

Most are paying for it, whether they have to or not.

There's a guarantee that a good chunk of us won't like it. Fans of the new films probably don't like DS9 and vice versa, but they're both valid "Star Trek". Much the same conversation when TNG came out and DIDN'T have Kirk in it. I still know people who only like the original. I'm surprised there's so much hate here when the Star Trek we have is already so diverse

That's an odd statement to make. Why those two iterations of Star Trek? Me, I like both.

Indeed. TOS and DS9 are my two favorite Prime trek series, with TNG right behind them. I love the Abrams films, and have been a fan of Star Trek since I was 4. I was 6 when TNG aired, and you might as well have thought it was the second coming of Jesus in our house. So I don't like it when people make blanket statements like "oh, real fans don't like the movies," or "true fans know that the new films aren't Star Trek," and then imply that people who like the new films probably don't like the TV shows. How silly to make such a statement and expect it to be unequivocally true.

I came across a petition at change.org to ask CBS to set the new series in the prime universe.

It will be soundly ignored by CBS, and for good reason. You know, it's funny, we just get the news, and already there are petitions to change things that we don't even know exist as of yet, and it's put in such a way that these fans think their opinions on the subject matters even one whit to the people at the top.

TOS and DS9 are my two favorite Trek series and have been for years. I love it when other fans feel the need to decide for everybody else what they do or don't like or what they will or won't enjoy.

All Glory Unto the Bomb!

 

[TheSeeker]

I am assuming if they have announced a new show they already have a direction planned. I don't think a petition is going to change their minds.

 

[Nerys Myk]

All Glory Unto the Bomb!

Why you gotta bring up Nemesis?

 

[cooleddie74]

I ain't got time for that Shinzon, yo.

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Shinzon ain't got much time, either, IIRC.

To each their own. Whether it's "canon" or not is the least of my concerns. "Canon" has nothing to do with the actual quality of the writing, acting, direction, etc.

If it's a good show, I'll watch it regardless if it's "canon" or not.

Me too!

 

[Kelso]

One of my wife's idiot Facebook friends has already tried to pass off details from the Star Trek Beyond/Uncharted guy's script as insider information- "Just remember you heard it here first."

2016 is going to be a ball!

 

[-Brett-]

Ugh...God!

You Trek fans sound like a bunch of old nagging women.

Support the show and quit complaining, because if you don't support it you will be the ones to blame for it being killed.

Agreed. That was what killed the Stargate franchise.

It was bullshit when Enterprise apologists were saying it and it's bullshit now.

Fans are under no obligation to support shitty shows out of brand loyalty.

Me three! Canon be damned! Continutiy be damned! Be a good show's all I ask!
