- Thread starter Balok's Decoy
- Start date
Meanwhile....
CBS Exec: "Waitaminute. We announced *what* now?!"
Fuller: "We told 'em we were making another Trek series. Started out as a joke, and got out of control. 10 years before TOS? A paid service like Netflix, but you still have to watch advertising? Who'd believe *that*?? Well, it turns out, an awfully lot of Trek fans, many of whom have Klingon weapons and our addresses. So we'd better do *something*, and quick!"
Exec: "Well, we've got those Axanar guys by the short ones, let's just make some minor changes and do a series with that, then...."

They actually thought we were making a show with the ship in that fake promo we made.

I sorta got the impression that nobody really knew. They should have pushed back the release date of Beyond closer to the 50th anniversary's date and advertise it as a celebration of it. Then when the movie runs and the hype starts to die down they should've shown some more-completed Star Trek: Discovery footage and start to advertise the release along with pitching CBS All-Access.

Les Moonves chimes in. Producers "begged" him to delay the show.

yep. Netflix outside the US. CBS all access inside the US.
Outside Canada as well. Airing on Space and steaming on Crave.
You know, if someone had told me in 2005 that there would be a new Trek movie as soon as 2009, I'd have laughed in their face and said "not that quickly." As it is, a year later in 2006 when word first broke of Abrams doing a Trek movie I thought for sure it had to be a hoax. Some hoax.
^ Boy did they prove you wrong.
Yeah. I did think they were getting off to a VERY slow start considering the deadline, so this was probably inevitable. I guess pre-preproduction (getting staff, offices, internal budgeting) ate into their time. They are having to build this thing from the ground up, after all.
Plus, as Wayoung pointed out, Fuller is also overseeing the launch of American Gods. Kurtzman is overseeing preproduction of The Mummy (and possibly has other duties with Bad Robot).
I think production leaks happen when staff are not completely invested, i.e. they're thinking more of impressing (or appalling) the public than supporting the production. So I take a lack of leaks as indicating high internal morale, if nothing else.
Why not just call her Discovery? It's a better girl's name than Enterprise, anyway.
Ooh! Did anyone notice this? Looks like this is definitely a ship show.
"Robots in January." Sounds like a poem.....Delayed until May?
B-but I was all set for robots in January
The question is: "Why was Bloodline cancelled after only two seasons?"
They ran out of mini sun dresses for Linda Cardellini?
The show is getting a third season.
I really feel bad for China now.
Wow, yes, on the one hand, that would've been shocking to hear back then. But, on the other hand, given the downward trends for Trek TV series and movies, and the way it all ended, it would've also been nice to know back then that, yes, Trek will return as a series one day! It didn't seem like it would.
