Star Trek Discover failure before the first episode :(

The attitude of the OP doesn't surprise me. Fans have been declaring new Trek dead since 1987.

Star Trek keeps being reinvented, and endures despite the fans' protests. I think that's more than a little ironical. ;)
 
Star trek Enterprise could have easily been a success had they stayed with the tried and true star trek theme. Instead they tried to make the show more appearing to new audiences (NoN-Trekkies) and devoting much of the series to a futuristic out of time period plot. The last episode of star trek enterprise was a final slap in the face and the slamming of the coffin lid shut on the series.

When I heard about Star Trek Discovery - I thought.... Here at last we are going to have star trek series which reaches back into all that was good about the star trek and the original time period (10 years before). Progressive Hollywood has final learned its lesson not to mess with traditional star trek core values and cannon. We going to get a new star trek series that does not have the short comings of enterprise or the convoluted lets rehash everything in the new non-prime star trek movies.....

But NO... It was all just a hopeful fantasy.... The nightmare is forming even now...

Just exactly what are we going to get with this new star trek series... Out of the mouth of co-creator Bryan Fuller and Heather Kadin executive producer:

" By June 2016, Fuller had "met with a few actors, and it's an interesting process. There's a few people that we like and we want to carry on what Star Trek does best, which is being progressive. So it's fascinating to look at all of these roles through a colorblind prism and a gender-blind prism". A month later, Kaden clarified that the series would feature minority, female, and LGBTQ characters, with the latter being of particular importance to Fuller. "

And there you have it! True and traditional star trek fans! The ultimate slap in the face!

I won't be watching this new start trek...

Set phaser to kill!


Give the show a chance. There is a danger that they will try to hard to make a diverse show and it may be to obvious if they harp on things like a persons sexuality but as long as they play it like TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOY did it should be fine. Basically stick to the story and don't dwell on social commentary about diversity because it wouldn't even be an issue 250 years from now anyway.
