Well, he is the son of Thor.Who knew that Kirk had such strong telekinetic powers that he was a threat to the lives of the entire crew?
Lower Expectations, says Discovery Writer.

Agreed. McCoy in particular openly and regularly challenged Kirk's decisions in front of both senior and junior officers.
I'm sure the show will be fine. Will it be for me? That is an entirely different question. But, no matter what they do, it'll never take away "my" Star Trek.
So, sit back and enjoy the ride, or don't. Just hope no one makes a career out of bashing the show.

tbh the thread title is pretty disingenuous, "lower expectations" is not at all what he said and it's pretty clear the OP has either twisted his words deliberatley or rehashed such a misinterpretation elsewhere without checking the quote.
In either case this is exactly the kind of behaviour that means anyone daring to atrempt anything new within the ST universe simply doesn't stand a chance. They announce the show and people are instantly attacking it and it's creators, with absolutely no posssibility of allowing them the chance to just maybe actually do anything well or have anything worthwhile to offer.
Making trek must be the most soul destroying job in the world

It's the Internet...
See above.
Also, as an aside, one the things that Hollywood writers learn is that you need a thick skin to deal with the criticism. Also, never read the comments.
I'm not sure how one is even remotely contradictory toward with the other.
Please read all the other posts in this thread.Kor
Yet again, he never said anything about lowering expectations. The OP did that.
I agree with him but just to set the record straight, he did say that. In response to the fan that shouted "Don't screw it up." :

^In other words he forgot he was talking to Star Trek fans.
That's the only way he could hit his mark and get the lines on camera.
"This weekend, at the Mission New York convention, STD writer Nicholas Meyer urged fans to lower their expectations for the new show."

This horse is well beaten.
My only complaint is this: prequels are normally very difficult to pull off. Why would you want to go BACK in time on a show about advanced scientific exploration? I think that true fans, more than anything, want to see the post-Dominion War Federation and Alpha Quadrant. They want to see space stations, like DS9, and ships they recognize - as well as updated technology and effects bc it's later in the timeline. It never works when the focus ship is more advanced than the ones that follow it. Just one of the many reasons why Enterprise was such a colossal flop.
Something fuggheads say when they really mean "me."
Well now, in that case, "true fans" are getting what they want with this show. LOL
