Petition: Cancel Discovery And Greenlight Post-Nemesis Series

I know where that petition can go. :D

Oh, me too. If it is a success, they might start planning other Trek shows, even ones set in ther eras (such as after Nemesis) and that way lies madness.

Much better if Discovery fails and there is no more Trek on TV...

You quoted me out of context. I said AND and then added a lot of qualifying text. In logic you cannot ignore the AND. Also there was no statement at all about me wanting DIS to fail. Granted I was not super precise, but does it take that much to get the jist of my whole post without cutting it up and assuming a completely different meaning?

I also prefaced it with a blurb about doing something to let management know that there are still fans that want something post NEM. Of course I want the show to do well, I just don't want the execs to misinterpret that success and never revisit the prime universe post NEM. I.e. make it like 90s Trek with 3 series all set concurrently and never go back to the future.

I think it all depends on the average viewer who doesn't care about the specifics but watch the show as a distraction. If the public at large is fed up with star trek then it won't matter if it's a prequel or a sequel that we have. It will be ignored all the same.

Fair enough.

For the record, I'd prefer a post Nemesis show too, but I'd have preferred that to Enterprise too, and I ended up enjoying that, the last season especially.

The creative team for the new show looks more than promising and I'm looking forward to it immensely. What I'd have chosen, no. Enough to make me happy, yes.
 
What about a Star Trek show set in the 17th century?

Show how canons on sailing ships fought phase canon baring Romulan shuttlecraft.

Me too. My initial thinking is that this whole thing was marketing driven. Make it the same era as TOS, make it a 2017 version of TOS, etc and not something that came from Fuller and team. Maybe I am just being cynical though and they were inspired by this "event" alone and wanted to go with it. But then again this show is the premier content on All access so it is already heavily influenced by strategic marketing in a way that no other Trek has really done. For the US, only Trek fans will really sign up but they are hoping they can wrap it in such a way to entice casual fans or those hooked by the premier to sign up. Elsewhere the show is on Netflix and will get devoured, hopefully at a level warranting spin-offs ala Daredevil. I wonder if Netflix will also have DIS in the US after some period of time like with other TV shows.

That's amazing! Too bad we already know how it ends:lol:

Yeah, no suspense and tension there whatsoever! :lol:

In all seriousness though, the Lost Era between TUC and TNG would have been perfect for an anthology format TV series as we would have been able to see different ships and different crews: Enterprise-C, Excelsior, Enterprise-B, Stargazer, etc.

I don't know; The Stargazer was rather unremarkable. It was Picard's ticket to captaincy, and nothing much else.

Oh, I don't think so… she seems to have had her share of adventures:

Besides, that which we haven't seen/heard doesn't mean it didn't happen. Not only starships named Enterprise have had remarkable careers! ;)
 
Yes I was disappointed to hear that Discovery will be set ten years before Kirk, and yes I want a post-Voyager series.

But no I won't jeopardise a new Star Trek series. After all, further down the line if Discovery is successful, then CBS (or even Netflix) could green-light a new post-Voyager series.
 
Just popping into the thread to say that I too love Gravity Falls. One of the best animated shows I have ever seen. Still bummed it ended so soon and that there's no physical release yet.

Everything I've come across so far has made it pretty clear this won't be just TOS in 2017, and that will be very much Fuller's show. CBS would be stupid to hire somebody like Fuller and not let him do his own thing. Granted we've seen plenty of examples of Hollywood suits being pretty damn stupid, but I still like to try to give them the benefit of the doubt until I start seeing real evidence of stupidity, and so far I haven't.

I hope so too ... . :techman:
