No these things matter of course, in part because the scripts have to be based there and in part because of audience expectations..I'm not saying they will base it on what fans want, but only that fan interest will change based on it's milieu. Eventually the as the season(s) continue the story-line will make or break it, but the setting isn't inconsequential.
He's got a history with Trek, and he's been in control of part of a big franchise before with Hannibal, so I doubt he's that overwhelmed. I know Trek is a bigger deal than Hannibal Lector, but it still shows that he's able to deal with projects that carry a lot of big fan expectations.
Nah.
It pretty much beats every ship.
It's an amalgam of the MacQuarrie and Ken Adams ships..I'd say maybe it shares 80% or more of their features? So not liking it is really kind of illogical.
It's not even in my top 10 favorite star trek ships, though it is a nice design.It pretty much beats every ship.
It just doesn't look much like them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Considering that the basic premises of Trek could be taken in virtually any direction, I think the original concept serves as a useful guideline. This is important, because looking at Fuller's original shows, they don't align with Gene's Vision, being quirky stories about outsiders told with underlying dark irony. I think Fuller is smart and talented enough to know that following his own instincts without restriction will produce something not quite Trek. And Fuller cares enough about Trek to avoid that problem.
OMG! How lame! You've got to be kidding me! I refuse to watch this monstrosity! The new show is awful! This proves it beyond all doubt!New spoilerific twitter pic by Fuller:
