To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before

Hopes this will be better than JJ Verse Trek.
At least cut down on the damn lens flares... :-P

The second trailer made a bad chill run down my spine. I'm getting the feeling of Reboot #2 with a hefty dose of politics as they try to find the broadest, blandest and least controversial definition of 'human' for the Millennial audience.

Huh? Millennials now unsure on the definition of 'human'?
Those rascals ...

The ship has a very old school Bird of Prey feel to it. To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to the news about the show. The last few attempts to do a new Trek seem to be getting further and further away from the roots of the show in the name of giving it a more action aspect and a big tied together storyline. The storyline part is to be expected in movies... But part of the appeal of Original and Next Generation was they could tell all these separate stories and not feel the need to tie everything back to one central narrative. There were recurring villains, sure. But it's not like there was some massive galactic conspiracy going on. Also trying to reinvent the story and background gets old for any follow up series.
What kills my interest though is putting it on their private pay service. Clearly it's there to be a big front running show to get people in. 'Pay to watch the new Star Trek, and you can see all our other content too!'. Sorry, no thanks. Not that I'm opposed to pay services mind you. I've had a Netflix subscription for years. The difference being that CBS is running both a free and pay service. Choosing to put Star Trek on their pay service in a clear attempt to get people to subscribe to me is a big middle finger to the Trek fan base. And I'm happy to return it to them and walk away.

Actually, the guys behind Trek Yards did a Podcast on this and it was an interesting discussion between them over it.
