News coming 8/10?

[JayTheTrekkie]

Interesting info....I'm more into the far future (TNG/DS9/VOY eras and beyond) but I'll check it out.

 

[SiddFinch1]

The vulcanian expedition? Don't know anything about it really?

 

[johnjm22]

I'm trying to give this series a chance, but throwing around words like "10 years before Kirk's mission" and "re imagined" make me less optimistic.

If this is set in the Star Trek era then it should look and feel like the Star Trek era. We shouldn't have more graphic scenes and character's saying, "oh shit!" If it doesn't flow with how the time period has already been depicted then it throws you out of the story, just like the remastered effects.

You can't make it look and feel like TOS or else it would look completely outdated. Star Trek has always been reimagined. First with TMP, then with TWOK. It has to be updated or else it can't be taken seriously.

You want the Klingons to look like this?

Well that was already explained in Enterprise. They could have both types of Klingons.

 

[MarsWeeps]

So there will be 13 episodes, did they say how long each will be? It would be nice to have them close to an hour each, instead of the 42 minutes we've been getting.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Here is what happened in 2255:

• The USS Farragut is ambushed by six pirate vessels near Epsilon Canaris III, but manages to escape to Starbase 7 for repairs.
• A brief war begins between the Federation and the Sheliak race which culminates in a peace treaty known as the Treaty of Armens between the Sheliak Corporate and the United Federation of Planets. The treaty cedes several Class H planetsfrom the Federation to the Sheliak. The treaty contains 500,000 words and took 372 Federation legal experts to draft. Upon concluding the treaty, the Sheliak ended communication with the Federation. Talks between the two would not happen again until the year 2366 when a dispute arose over a Human colony on Tau Cygna V. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")

• Ensign James T. Kirk is promoted to lieutenant. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")
• Lieutenant James T. Kirk, on his first planetary survey mission, visits the planetNeural, where he meets Tyree. (TOS: "A Private Little War")

According to the Star Trek Chronology, Kirk Prime would have been stationed on the USS Farragut during his mission to Tyree's planet.

Apparently a Klingon Captain is one of the main cast, somehow. Now we have to wait and see how they'll handle the Klingon conundrum.

 

[Spider]

So what about that crap about the commercials during the shows? Are they expecting me to pay for a subscription service AND watch commercials?

 

[ancient]

Thank God we can finally get back to bitching about a new Star Trek series.

Turnabout Intruder

Unreliable narrator.

Is it time to confront the miniskirt issue?

There is no miniskirt issue that I'm aware of.

You want the Klingons to look like this?

I don't want to see Klingons for a while.

 

[uniderth]

"The event does not center on Section 31, but the clandestine Starfleet organization will pop up in DSC." Source

Ugh...

I suppose Trials and Tribblations wasn't a good episode, and (while not directly related) period pieces can't possibly be good.

You want the Klingons to look like this?

YES!

 

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

I stand by this being the focus of the first season:

In 2246, Kirk was living on the planet Tarsus IV during a food crisis that was starving the colony of eight thousand people. Governor Kodos, sympathetic to old eugenics philosophies, tried to save a portion of his colony by killing the four thousand colonists he deemed least desirable or able to survive. Kodos was unaware of the imminent arrival of relief ships. The thirteen-year-old Jim Kirk was one of only nine eyewitnesses to the massacre. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")

So perhaps there will be an appearance of my namesake?

 

[uniderth]

• Ensign James T. Kirk is promoted to lieutenant. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")

It's totally about this!

 

[DarthPipes]

So is the captain of the ship the Lt. Commander or is the story told from the POV of the Lt. Commander?

 

[SAndrews10]

I'm not too psyched about paying for a service and then having to sit through network spot loads. Let's take the hot future business model of television streaming and do it in the most outdated antiquated way possible.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Lots and lots of information here:

[LutherSloan]

It's the latter. Although who knows if it could be a situation where the Lt. Commander takes over as Captain like Picard had to do.

 

[Spider]

According to what Fuller stated, the story is unfolded before the Lt. Commander and told from her point of view. Fuller said we've already seen the other series do them from the Captain's viewpoint, so he's doing it different this time.

 

[shady12]

I'm very curious as to what he is referring to when he says that we've heard mention of this event or incident that is the basis of the series before. Especially since that era is not well traveled in canon form.

Fuller knows what he's doing, he's not going to run roughshod over important canon or anything. He's a huge ST fan. I don't believe he's going to do what Enterprise did with including unnecessary things like those decon scenes just because.

Well, he said he's creating his own Star Trek universe and will re-imagine things. So I guess technically it's not running roughshod since it's another universe like the new movies.

 

[m.lp.ql.m]

"I just climbed on stage with Bryan. When I asked he could describe the lead's rank, he said "lieutanant commander." As I was typing this just now, Bryan climbed into the audience, put his hand on my shoulder and whispered "she will have many ranks."'

Hmmmm, meaning what?

It's not another universe according to Fuller. He's referencing something in TOS history that he isn't telling us about yet. Yeah, it's probably his own version of it, but he's already said they'll be using the iconic uniforms and ship interiors of TOS. Though I believe his exact wording was "playing with".
