To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before
BenRG:
I've just watched that video and it gives me chills. Those rumours speak of a production doomed and it could take the Star Trek franchise with it.

* Bryan Fuller fired for refusing to compromise on canon compliance;
* The post-Fuller pilot script rejected as 'unfilmable';
* Merchandise license holders warning CBS that the appearance of the show is so bad that 'they could not give away' merchandise;
* Possibly as a result, the visual effects department dismissed en masse;
* Netflix, one of the primary investors in and funding source for the series, demanding the return of their investment.These are only rumours but, if even a fraction of it is true, then Discovery is in mortal peril. All because a studio executive thought that he knew how to sell to the fan-base better than a life-long fan.
BenRG:
Several other forum members have asked me where I got my starship avatar. It is a Bridge Commander model of the original draft idea for the second USS Enterprise, seen at the end of 'Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home'. Just in case you're interested,
here is a fan-page about the ill-fated ENTERPRISE-class heavy cruiser project.
Kugai:
Interesting Ben
The Phase II Web Series did what I thought was a very interesting 'Mid Life' Upgrade/Refit for their Enterprise

BenRG:
Aaannnd yet another fan series reminds us why 'Star Trek - Discovery' is going to have a literal mountain to climb to get anywhere.
Kugai:
And why CBS/Paramount is doing its level best to dictate and control what the fans out there are doing because the stuff coming out from them is, to a certain extent, leaving CBS/Paramount in the dust.
