Star Trek: Discovery - new series in 2017

Cli-Fi said:
Agree to disagree but a lot of people want to see Star Trek move farther into the future and we aren't getting that in this new series. I'll still check it out, but I really have no expectations.

Yes... unless it had been planned to be based beyond TNG - then who knows what the complaint would be?
 
Interesting viewpoint on Star Trek: Discovery:


In short, it's claimed - in the rumours section - that ST: D has become such a corporate mess that the original show is already being presumed to be cancelled after the first run of episodes, and a completely different Star Trek TV series may already be in development to replace it.

Does this mean STD will follow the standard set by these new movies? I'm not particularly fond of them as there's too much eye-candy and not enough of plot. Another thing that really irks me is the fact that space-travel seems almost instantaneous. Within minutes you can travel distances that took weeks to achieve in the legacy series. After all this is supposed to be about the space-travel and such things.

If you've been on long trips, you know how boring they can be. Unless they're going to assume that space is packed with vessels of many races and strange anomalies, I see it being quite difficult to keep us entertained just so we experience the time involved in space travel...

Why didn't they just set the series in the Kelvin Timeline and be done with it ? This would have minimized some of theses issues.

There is simply no way this series visually or story wise could be part of the prime universe.

I have no inkling of your logic behind that statement.

Are you assuming that anything that Kirk and the Enterprise didn't do, just wasn't done?

It's not the slightest bit possible that some of the earlier ships actually had adventures of their own?

Again... ST & SW fans will complain about upcoming movies and series, regardless of the basis of them.

You can't put new bumpers on the old Studebaker and call it the same car.

So I take it you've never watched but one franchise movies based in our own time?

After all, there's no way James Bond can be besting a diamond thief and Jason Bourne be running away from the CIA, right?

I haven't seen this but thanks. Now it seems that at Comic Con people have said that Discovery might be joined with other projects in the ST Universe. I wouldn't be surprised if Fuller had this idea originally, but CBS said no to it being included in the first series so they could have green-lit other ideas of his and broke each anthology season into their own show, but Fuller was too busy to work on them all at the same time. This would make the most sense to me.

No STD is canon. Regular TOS Timeline
