It's "These go to eleven"...Grand Theft BBS!
It's over 9000!
Or, whatever the reference is.
..and, as I alluded to in a post above, that line from Spinal Tap is perfect for a Trek discussion -- considering the warp factor limit of ten.
If by "shit" you mean "dramatically compelling and engaging," then you're probably right.
You're completely right. I've said all I can possibly say anyway, and peoples responses are getting out of control. I'll just leave the thread now (and this time I mean it).
Yep, dramatically compelling and engaging is often code for "characters that bitch a lot and episodes end on cliffhangers" - I concur
I don't mind his attitude but I don't think that all the hardcore fans will watch it anyway (if they don't like it).
I didn't watch the second and third incarnation of JJTrek in the cinema and I wouldn't spend money on the new series if I don't like it. Especially not if I should get the feeling that they're trying to mimik Game of Thrones or something like that.
And it's the "people spending money" part he should be interested in. At least if he wants to play the role in a second season.

I think that CBS is wagering that they will be able to attract more than enough new fans with Discovery to counteract any old fans they lose.
Yep, that's exactly what this show is all about. Building a new teenager fanbase that grew up with GOT and the likes. Too bad for them, since this demographic typically steals content and people that pay, like myself, are skeptical of the whole thing, to say the least.
If it isn't seen on screen its not canon. Isn't that how that goes? So basically it's producer fanon.
Can we get Jamie Lee as the spokeswoman?
it works on so many levels
What? No one said anything about it being a revival of Star Trek:Voyager
No different to when TNG and spinoffs started, they too made innovations and alterations to storytelling. Especially when everyone said TNG was trying to copycat TOS.
I who can blame the actor for saying what he had? Especially audiences new to Trek who may be set to one format over the next and might expect the same thing in storylines and visual appearances; there's no way the 60s style sets will work today for most audiences. Most viewers demand bigger and prettier, since Star Wars and MTV had a knock-on effect to the point shows with smaller budgets and fewer resources couldn't even begin to compete (though at least those wasted less), but at the same time a few well-made sets and clever set re-use is going to be better than vomiting money to make everything look like "the precious".
I'm looking forward to what's being aired.

Unlike Ghostbusters 2016, I'm not picking up the same vibe of anyone hiding a poorly written/unfocused remake behind reminding audiences that the sets won't look the same.
Does All-Access, when paid for, have commercials for the programs or are the programs shown commercial-free? And can one watch all the episodes in one go or does one have to wait one week for one episode?
They're the people running the show I'm sure they know better then us
Not everything cosidered canon was seen on screen.
If we go by that logic we don't have canon years for TNG and probably other shows outside of ENT
There are probably a few ship classes from the franchise that we only know the names of because of material not seen on screen
Yes we do. In TNG's "The Neutral Zone" Data stated the year specifically as 2364:

And from that, we can calculate based on in universe events, the year of every 24th century Trek season. Only TOS lacks a canonical year, but some nerd heroes have calculated that
Unless it was mentioned or seen onscreen, then it isn't canon. Things can become canon, but only by appearance or mention onscreen.
