    It'll be so dark that...
    - the entire crew is killed every episode (making it technically an anthology series).
    - one of the crew is a serial killer in his spare time, but it's okay, because people accept his choices in the future.
    - money no longer exists. Instead, people barter with slaves and organs.
    - billions of people die in an episode, and the Captain ends the adventure on a bad joke. Oh, that already happened.

    ...not even JJ's lens flares will be able to illuminate the inky blackness that will consume Trek.

    As a yet undiscovered series made only for Saudi royalty, filled with incest, murder and rape.

    People are so dramatic about Discovery...

    VIEWER 1: Dude, I totally love this new Star Trek series. It's so dark. The characters are so gritty. It's deep and complex and adult. Blows every other previous Trek series out the water...

    VIEWER 2: (squinting) All I see is a black screen...

    VIEWER 1: Yeah, man, isn't it the greatest?

    It will be so dark that it'll ruin Gene's Vision™, that's for gosh-heckin-hell sure.

    Racism/sexism are also a good way to earn Warnings around here. I'm not going to hand out a separate Warning for this post, but you'll get one the next time you post something like this.

    It'll be so dark that...
    • ...You'll be watching it at high noon and think it's midnight.
    • ...Each series DVD will be pre-sharpened so you can slit your wrists with it.
    • ...The Battlestar Galactica reboot will be appear cheerful and campy by comparison.
    • ...You'll wish it was still 2017.
    • ...Internet trolls will express heartfelt sympathy for the viewers and reevaluate their life choices.
