Given how 'Star Trek: Voyager' turned out - not too disappointed with this announcement.
Bryan Fuller Stepping Back From Showrunner Role on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’

I am to a degree. If it turns out poorly, people will cling to this as an excuse for why the show failed.
I'd have been more interested in Ron Moore doing the job because nuBSG was such a different take on that material. More than anything I'd prefer a successful writer/producer who likes Star Trek but had not worked on it before. Fuller was intriguing for the many good things he's done since Voyager ended.
But before one minute of footage is even shot? Before the lead actress is even cast?
It could still turn out great. But my confidence level in the project has dropped a tick.
That may no longer be an issue. After all, Fuller's gone and may have taken 'Prime' with him.
I kid. Mostly.
I would have liked to see them get Manny Coto back. He did a very good job with ENT Seasons 3 & 4 - and it would have been interesting to see his take on a Star trek series set in TOS era (IMO).
Indeed. Kurtzman is also no stranger to TV, which means he will know how to work within their schedules and considerations.
There's a reasonable explanation to it happening. Fuller is busy.
Since day one I've been cautiously optimistic about it leaning more cautious. That has not changed one iota. Not for the better. Not for the worse. Why not? Because we still know next to nothing about the show. For me this is as big of a deal as Sulu being gay in Beyond. In other words, not one at all!
People just seriously need to calm down. Maybe Discovery will fail after season one. Maybe it will be the best series ever. Maybe it will be something in betweeen. Maybe it will never air. But at the end of the day, it really is just a TV show. Bryan Fuller not being a show runner on the newest incarnation of Star Trek will not play a big part in the world's greater events.

Exactly. I'm not excited over Discovery but I was open to giving it a chance. But, there is this constant drumbeat of doom and gloom that seems so overblown that it makes me wonder were the expectation level is at.
What in the world was so expensive about Sense 8? I didn't make it through more then a couple episodes, and it didn't seem overly high end to me?
"Please sign my petition to force CBS to bring back zombie Gene Roddenberry as showrunner."
From the looks of it, that won't help either as no one is bothering to read any of the posts before theirs.

As soon as they hired him, fans would start complaining.
Fuller was a junior writer at the time treated very shabbily on VOY. Using his episodes of that show as a barometer for his quality output is a little unfair, placing all of the blame for VOY on him is absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah. Obviously, they should be using a clone.
Please see the response to Goldsman's hiring for a reasonable response
It should be the first clone, from the seventeenth series.
That's the only one with the true "Gene's vision"!
