Star Trek: Discovery

there's a theory floating around out there that it's going to be Number One, the character Majel Barrett portrayed in the original pilot/The Cage.

I like that theory! Although I'd still prefer a male(Kirk type)Captain.

It'll be on Netflix, too. No commercials.

MRP is correct, it will only be on Netflix for subscribers outside the US and Canada.

oh well, that was the only way they were going to get me to watch it. I read it was streaming there in the same article with the MST3K news for Netflix. Guess they got it wrong. Hope its better than Next Gen, that was like watching paint dry.

So for those who cough up the cash for CBS All Access, guess what? You're still getting commercials. 12 minutes of them every episode:

Someday, when people wonder how the "big networks" squandered a 20 million viewer audience to become completely irrelevant... this will be Exhibit A.

More info...it's looking more and more like it might be Majel Barrett's character from "The Cage."

sounds promising!

* While Fuller and “Star Trek Into Darkness” screenwriter Alex Kurtzman wrote the first hour of “Star Trek: Discovery,” the second hour was scripted by Nicholas Meyer ("Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,” “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country”).

Oh man, I would totally watch a show about Number 1! I always liked the look of the original pilot costumes and sets. If that's where they going visually, I'm in.

"Heavily serialized"....with multiple writers...ohhkay...

I'm just going to stand back and watch this business model go down in flames. Anyone got marshmallows?

A busy Bryan Fuller stepping back as Discovery show runner. And even tho production is slated to begin next month, the lead still hasn't been cast..

sounds like its crashing and burning.

[Brown Bear]

From everything I've read this far, I can't say I will lose any sleep if it doesn't happen.

[LonnieFisher]

What I just read makes me hope it never happens. It sounds like it has too much garbage forced into it before it starts.

Can you elaborate on what you "just read"? And what the "garbage" is?

I just don't get how anyone can have a strong opinion one way or another on the prospective content of the show, since there have been little to no details revealed as of yet, and it hasn't even started production..
