Dear god! What's even happening!?!?!
Nicholas Meyer to join writing staff of new series
- Thread starter Jedi_Master
- Start date
Excitement is building 
Because the song was from the Jeffersons doesn't mean it ain't true.
While not perfect, the Trek that Meyer worked on decades ago was by far more exciting and interesting than any of the Trek that appeared between then and 2009. I, for one, am finally starting to actually care a little bit about this new series due to the announcement of Meyer being on the writing staff.
SW:TFA was just fine.
And this new show will be just fine, too.

This keeps getting more and more interesting. CBS is trying very hard to make this work it seems.
Not to turn this into a J. J. Trek bashing thread or anything, but Meyer just gets it:

Damn! That's getting better and better!
I always like my Trek with a bit of naval flare!
Meyer is not exactly known for his action writing or snippy one-liners (which I suspect will be heavily featured in a modern show helmed by Kurtzman). But Meyer is awesome in crafting characters and an interesting stories. And he genuinly understands Star Trek and it's appeal.

And somewhere Harve Bennett nods his silent approval.
I feel like I'm alone on an island as one of the only people willing to pay $6.99 for new Trek. Yes, I know CBS is using me. Don't care. Shut up and take my money, CBS.
Besides, we don't know what CBS All Access will be like in a year's time. They've expresses interest in having other original programs on there. And I'm sure once the rights expire for CBS programming on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc., CBS will probably use that opportunity to make CBS All Access the exclusive home for those programs.
I agree that it would be more desirable to have it on Netflix or Hulu, but maybe come January 2017, CBS All Access will be worth that $7 a month? We just don't know.

I wonder if this gives series that could be on the risk of cancellation a second life. For example, It won't happen, but say Supergirl was cancelled. Instead of moving it to CW, it could get a second life on CBS All Access. CBS has said they want to make Star Trek the flagship show of the streaming platform, so these bits of news could be great not just for the series, but for the overall streaming product and to get people to pay the 7 bucks and feel like it's worth the investment.
