New Star Trek TV Series 2017

@LHoffman:

Haha. Saw that to.
I don’t get it.

Yes, it’s difficult to know exactly what’s behind all this, but from what little can be gathered from Bryan Fuller’s statement it sounds like this may have been a case of a “Do you want it fast or do you want it good?” disagreement between CBS and Fuller.  The previously-announced decision to give the show launch a four-month extension from January to May may have been meant to address this concern, but it would seem that this wasn’t enough.

thx for the updating!

any hints if Romulans also feature? Really, I couldnt care less about Klings (unless humiliated by Roms) :)

No idea; I don’t know any more than what TrekCore has posted so far.  Note, however, that some of the casting information released so far might not be for the series as a whole; some of it seems to pertain to the regular crew of the titular ship, but some of the characters and actors might only apply to the pilot episode, or perhaps might only be semi-regulars on the series.  I suspect that the Klingons aren’t crew members of Discovery, since as far as I know Worf was established on TNG as the first Klingon ever to serve in Starfleet…and TNG is set a couple of centuries after DIS.

Sonequa Martin-Green to Lead STAR TREK: DISCOVERY

Discovery runs its course, but what I would really love to hear is progress with Axanar. Just read about the latest legal battles, I hope they get over it soon.

CBS has made yet two more casting announcements today for 2017’s Star Trek: Discovery.

British actor Jason Isaacs, best known to genre fans as the evil Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, is “Captain Lorca” – commanding officer of the starship Discovery.

In addition, relative newcomer Mary Wiseman joins the series as “Tilly,” a Starfleet Academy cadet in her final year of schooling, assigned for field studies aboard the Discovery.

so there has been an Axanar settlement. The new fan-film guidelines dont sound promising…
OC, fan fiction has to be balanced with copyright somehow, but 15 minutes…I wonder what special deal Star Trek Continues has.

what you guys make of the Discovery trailer?

Also, I read they bring Harry Mudd back to the show.Nice, I like all the connection stuff, that was great on Enterprise, too. Hope there is more of that, 10 years is not that long a time.

Well I certainly need to see more. I didn’t like the look and lighting of the bridge of the other ship but hopefully that’s a minor quibble.

10 years isn’t enough time.

Heard the show will only be available on CBS’s streaming service which requires a subscription though.  IMHO, it needs to be on broadcast TV.  But that’s just me.

Still, excited to see a reboot.

It’s not just you. Was unaware of this. What a disappointment

@LHoffman:

Last I heard, the pilot is supposed to air on CBS, but then the rest will be on CBS All Access streaming service. - That is in North America for sure. I thought at one time that the rest of the world may get it on Netflix, but I don’t know how those negotiations panned out.

I can’t recall where I heard this, and I can’t vouch for the information, but in Canada the new series will supposedly air on the Space cable channel.

Watched the trailer - not impressed.  This looks like a fan film.

Not to mention, if it is supposed to take place 10 years before Kirk’s mission, the Enterprise NCC-1701 should already be out there under Captain Pike.  The uniforms should look the same or similar as in ‘The Cage’.  Looks like a hot mess from a continuity standpoint.
