Why CBS is taking the wrong approach to nutrek.

Where's the Dread-Pirate Roberts when we need him?!!

 

[Relayer1]

We should at least wait until we know what the concept is before saying it's a terrible direction for the franchise. Unless you think it's terrible that they making more Trek.

Yeah, I think we all agree that making more Trek is a terrible direction for the franchise !

So did everyone hear there's going to be a new Star Wars and Star Trek? That's just cray cray. It's like 1999 til whenever Enterprise got cancelled all over again.

Let's not use 1999's Trek and SW as a reference point...

Yeah, from the POV of people making decisions at CBS what stands out about Kurtzman is that he delivers successful product - specifically, here, successful TV product - out of unusual and sf/fantasy material. They've worked with him time and again and have every reason to trust him - why go to anyone else?

It does make complete sense. I'm looking forward to seeing what he and his team comes up with. It's just nice to see that there still is life, particularly television life, left in the ST franchise!

Well...
1-Star Trek
2-Star Trek The Animated Series
3-Star Trek:The Next Generation
4-Star Trek: DS9
5-Star Trek:Voyager
6-Enterprise Star Trek:Enterprise
7-Star Trek: ?????

I wonder what they will call the seventh television series?

449. The Menagerie was a two-parter, that counts as one episode!

It wasn't a good episode, either, because it's a recut of the first pilot, which was, for me, the best of the original series, oddly.

As is whining about whining, Dennis.

Dennis isn't whining, though. He is simply pointing something out.

Exactly so.

[Sector 7]

Here's a thought: why not watch the first episode of the show - which will be on "free" broadcast TV - before "perceiving flaws" in it?

Oh, wait - we are Trekkies!

Because everything that needed to be fixed won't be fixed.

None of your preemptive complaints about the series will have any effect whatever on what they decide to do. Fannish whinging is just a way to kill time on the Internet.

Isn't that why we're here?

Seriously, I'll wait until I see the first episode to complain about it... or, at least, read something concrete from CBS/Kurtzman & Co.

They might just call it STAR TREK again. Which is what TV usually does when they revive an old series, as with HAWAII 5-0, THE ODD COUPLE, THE FUGITIVE, THE BIONIC WOMAN, THE NIGHT STALKER, etc.

Unless they want to distinguish it from the new movies somehow.

Maybe STAR TREK: THE NEW VOYAGES?

Star Trek: The Search For More Money

I don't mind it so much being a steamed series, but at teh very least they could put it into free syndication.

Alas, I think the 90s syndication market that nurtured TNG and XENA and the like is pretty much gone these days. The TV universe has changed too much and that business model has gone the way of the dinosaur.

Quick: name a new syndicated sf or fantasy or adventure program airing these days.

Quick name one before 1987. OK Legend Of The Seeker was the last first run hour long genre series in syndiction. But there aere plenty of old shows in syndication on cable and if not free syndication put the show on a cable channel.
