SPOILERS: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, it's happening
Discussion
Announced today... A new show by CBS continuing the adventures of Captain Pike and co from Discovery, which is going to be hopefully amazing. I loved S2 of Discovery.

Problem is because it's set on the Enterprise, so called fans are going to moan that it doesn't look exactly like it did on the TV series made over 50 years ago.
Personally, I can't wait!
No they won't. Biggest problem it's going to have is Alex Kurtzman "overseeing" it.Personally, I can't wait!

Well I certainly hope it is nothing like Star Trek Discovery. Or are they just pirating the name for meaningless profit still?
I'm firmly in the camp that the only good thing that came out of Discovery was Pike. Just watched the promo clip for it and to quote Anson Mount - "A classic Star Trek show that deals with optimism and the future" so that's a good start already - fingers crossed!For me I loved Discovery, firmly felt Picard was 80% garbage purely made for fan service, but I concur that the best thing about Discovery was Pike and co, and the stunning retcon of the original Enterprise and it's sets etc. I'm putting some faith into this one being what we've actually all been waiting for.

Surely making something that appeals to the fans is a very good thing? Even more so if it is a franchise as large and successful as “Star Trek”. In fact it makes you wonder why any rational person would want to produce any form of Star Trek which doesn’t appeal to the enormous fan base...Edited by 300bhp/ton on Saturday 16th May 07:55

I guess for me Picard was just a bit of nostalgia that was mostly terribly written, acted and produced. But that's a discussion for another thread.
It certainly had some issues. But on the whole I enjoyed watching it. It still felt somewhat “Star Trek”, although evidently a lot had changed in the Federation since the end of the Dominion war. STD on the other hand always came across as Star Wars in drag crossed with maybe something Quake2/Doom3 like. Not a very good mix IMO and certainly a long long way from being or feeling like “Star Trek”.
I guess maybe it should have been called Star Warts. Would have tied in nicely with the STD acronym
.......going to be more terribly written drivel that just thinks all we want is people getting eyes pulled out, f-bombs, lens flare, total inconsistencies with existing trek and a over arcing plot so stupid it could be written by the President of the USA , but as long as they can keep making great wadges of cash out of it, they will keep doing it....but one thing for sure.....it aint Star Trek.
