Trek Returning to TV in 2017!

That would be cool on a Mirror Universe show.
Or maybe a Klingon show. I realize the biggest issue, ST'09 not withstanding, is that making your way through the Starfleet ranks still takes a decent amount of time. If the premise was "from cadet to captain" or something like that, the story would probably have to span over several years.
No so much useless, but rather a Captain who knows how to deligate authority. As opposed to a micromanager, who doesn't completely trust their subordinates.
This Ensign Foley is well below direct delegation to the point of bypassing two or three levels of authority.
Delegating all your authority to Ensign Foley all the time, week after week isn't a good commander.
We actually saw that in ENT's two-parter - people scheming and backstabbing their way up the ladder.
All hail Empress Hoshi!
Nor a good show.
Seriously, what advanced vessel with that kind of technology and firepower would delegate authority over the crew and mission to a low-ranking crewman barely in their twenties and do so repeatedly?
Somebody ought to keep a close eye and ear on the major clothiers, tailors and apparel designers who supply CBS.
The type of fabrics being bulk ordered might give a clue as to the era the show will be set in.
I'm hoping it will be a ton of black and grey wool gabardines.

All of their authority to a single individual? I don't think anyone would advocate that, but wisely delegating responsibilities and assigning goals to junior officers and senior petty officers would be definition of a "good commander."
This would free up the Captain to then devote themselves to command, leadership, management and organizing duties. Directing overall ship activities and interpreting policies to accomplish the ship's mission.

Blue, red and gold velour that shrinks when you wash it, or you're the worst fan ever.
Dang it... now I want to watch a show about Ensign Foley. 
I think an athletic influence on the uniforms would represent a creative touch. Have everyone wear amazingly replicated renditions of the Houston Astros rainbow jerseys of the 70's and 80's. There would no longer be any rank division based on something silly like various factions wearing different colors and a true and genuine vibe of a unified team working towards a common goal would soon prevail. Added to that would be the benefit of blinding at least some adversaries encountered along the mission.
Last, but not least, with everyone's name emblazoned on the back of the jersey, we would know the identities of Ensign Foley and other denizens of the bowels of the ship even if they don't get any proper screen time, as well as those of the poor souls from security who will shortly no longer be among the living.

Oh, wait, he was already in Charlie X. Mea culpa.
But, if they have names, how will we know which ones are fodder and which ones to care about? I mean, I don't want to start caring about the random red shirt when he's going to die-that's ridiculous
