There's resistance because many people are extremely emotionally invested in the success of the current show, as it is, no matter how it is. And will blast back at any hint of negativity about any minute aspect of the show as info is made known.(Which I can't say I'm not at least a little guilty of in other forums
)Some have lost their objectivity every bit as much as the crazy cynical fans that say "this sucks. Everything sucks. I hope this Discovery show dies" or whatever it is they say.
It's like this:
"I just love the new Klingons. They're so awesome. I just love these uniforms, easily the best yet. I just love this..."
(2 posts later...)
"The panel is NoT crooked! It's 2017! Go jump off a bridge!"
If that's such a large concern, you wonder why CBS greenlit development of the series with Fuller in charge? While all the details might not have been fleshed out, I'm sure the idea of an anthology series was in the pitch. I imagine there is more to the story behind Fuller's departure than just the anthology aspect.
Looks like a disaster?! Have you missed everything? The show looks freaking awesome. The trailers, the props, etc. There's no sense of an ongoing disaster. The early stages might've had difficulties, but those seem to have been resolved. The only thing to do now is to wait a couple of months to see what it's actually like.
I agree that everything looks great. I still remember though how excited I was with "Enterprise" when they showed that clip in the pilot with Archer and Trip in the space shuttle looking over the ship and one of them says something like "From earth to the mars in 15 minutes" and the other goes "Phew!" Hell I recall how excited, even years before with "Voyager" when they had the tv guide article were I first learned about all the new characters. It's easy to get people excited when you offer new Trek.
I don't think people will really be over that excitement until around the 5th episode or so when the episodes stop feeling new and start feeling like regular tv, which is when people will be able to really take a more balanced aproach to how they think the show is doing. That or the second time they watch the episodes. I think we all know we will watch the pilot, 3 times at least before the second episode even airs. First sign you don't like it is when you only watch it once and the second is when you wait a few days to watch it. If you love it will be 3 helping a week until it gets to much around that 5 or so episode mark.

Wait, what? What is this? Over the past day or so I've read talk of a 'second show' in development, but it sounds to me like gossip?
I think that's more I less what I would want to see. It'd be a shame if the Klingon-centric storyline would continue throughout all of the series. Having a new storyline in season two (or at least a natural progression of season one's story, that takes us somewhere else) should be a sensible idea.
The rummer is that Nicholas Mayer's project is a back up for if STD is a disaster. In which case season two of Discovery will be Mayer's project. But you are right that at this stage it is just gossip. This video discusses it at time index 18:17:
Awhile back Meyers said he was working on a ST project not related to discovery. The common thought is he was talking about a new reissue of TUC like he did TWOK. A few people took it to mean a second TV show, which the recent Midnight's Edge video endorsed and further publicized as a potential replacement to Discovery after season 1 with CBS claiming they always intended an anthology series as a way to avoid saying they cancelled Discovery.
It doesn't make sense to put your "Plan B" in the hands of one of the people responsible for you needing a "Plan B" to begin with.
Meh, Meyer was just a consulting producer. Means he didn't actually have anything to do with the show but they paid him to attach his name to it for fan service
Wouldn't CBS be the ones who would get the blame if "Discovery" is a flop? Granted I see lots of blame being tossed towards Fuller or and Kurtzman if this happened. Meyer I think would be distent enough to not get any blame. Plus he did "Wrath of Khan" and some of the other movies so fans already trust him. Other than Ron Moore I don't know who else you could get that brings that much trust. Of course we can always let Rick Berman back in.

My guess is the only producer who has less to do with the show than Meyer is 'Rod'.
Any chance of a summary? I don't feel like watching a video or giving views to what looks like a piece of clickbait by some random person on YouTube.
Yeah, pretty much what wayoung said above.
The video is however more then clickbait. It is quite a successful YouTube channel with over 44 thousand followers. The author of the video makes it clear it is rumour and is to be taken with a "pinch of salt". The rumour and speculation in the video is only at the towards the end. I don't agree with much of what he had to say but he makes some interesting points.
Since it's not on the network, I'm not sure how much "interference" will occur.
