Discovery has been delayed until May 2017

So should we check around on the schedules of potential actors...I mean maybe there was a conflict...

 

Let's hope it's just a simple delay and not something more serious

 

Hopefully they're taking more time to redesign that ugly ship.

 

I think we jinxed it when we jumped the gun on the new forum.

 

I don't think they did.
Fuller seems to have been hired not long before he was actually announced as showrunner back in February, and it doesn't look like they had anything before that except the idea to put out a Star Trek show on CBS All Access...

 

Sure, and your post previously that maybe CBS isn't happy is also a legit possibility. I was responding to the idea that someone was recklessly picking January out of a hat knowing they wouldn't be ready by then. They probably had every intention to hit January. It wasn't reckless or purposefully misleading, it just didn't happen.

Shows and movies often miss release dates. Hell, next months Westworld bounced from 2015 to 2017 to 2016. Release dates change. It's what they do

 

If it is something serious than props to them for delaying to fix it and not rushing it out anyway

 

Perhaps this is just the public-facing explanation; maybe All Access isn't where it needs to be technically for the launch, and CBS needs more time to work on it.

 

The problem is if a giant meteor falls on Earth in April then we'll never know what the series would have been like.

 

Those are the same guys that own the second most famous sci-fi franchise in history, and completely forgot it had an anniversary coming...

They're also the guys that, when Robert Kirkman tried to pitch them "The Walking Dead", told him to turn it into a procedural crime drama with zombies. After which he left and got it made on AMC.

There were also rumores that CBS executives tried to stop Fuller putting the series in the prime universe, because "that's dead", and the nuUniverse is where the money lies (that was before it was clear 'Beyond' will loose money at the box office)

Honestly, when CBS is not happy with the new Trek series, that's a good thing.

 

And yet CBS is still winning. By a lot.

 

You are actually right. I got the dates confused.

 

Maybe it wasn't procedural enough for them? ST:SFIIS: Star Trek: Starfleet Interstellar Investigative Service.

The crimes are (puts on sun glasses) out of this world.

Exit to the left.

 

So much nonsense in this post I literally laughed out loud.

RAMA

 

How long till we discover discovery?

 

Expected, but disappointing.

Still, better safe than sorry. At least this will give me more time to get through DS9, VOY and ENT before the premiere

 

I can't say I'm surprised. I was wondering how they were going to cast, design sets, film, and do post-production between now and January.

 

I hope they at least take the time to give us something in January. Maybe a short sneak preview, or some web vignettes, or whatever.

 

This is asinine. They should have known it could not meet the Jan. launch months ago. A 4 month slip puts it in the summer season which could be problematic.

 

There maybe more delays then even this delay folks.
