Published on November 2, 2015 By DrJBHL In Everything Else

This just in!

“The premiere episode all all subsequent first-run episodes will then be available exclusively in the United States on CBS' All Access digital subscription service. This would be the first original series developed specifically for U.S. audiences to air in such a way.”

“There is no better time to give 'Star Trek' fans a new series than on the heels of the original show's 50th anniversary celebration," said David Stapf, president of CBS Television Studios. "Everyone here has great respect for this storied franchise, and we're excited to launch its next television chapter in the creative mind and skilled hands of Alex Kurtzman, someone who knows this world and its audience intimately." – Sun +

Remakes are generally not up to speed with the origional
sometimes they are
we'll see.

Out of all the Star Trek series that ran on TV only two actually made it, ST-TOS and ST-TNG. The rest...meh (with the possible exception of Voyager). Just don't tell JJ Adams. He'll want to twist it into something it wasn't meant to be. As for a new series, that remains to be seen. Thanks Doc and Hankers.

Sounds like this is NOT the one that Walter Koenig and Tim Russ were trying to pull together?

Not sure what to expect here...

Abrams/Kurtzman/Orci did the epic Fringe, but then their last Trek movie was just ass. They're either severely hit or miss, or they just can't do reboots without torturing us with terrible reworkings of the old classics. They also have a super ship fetish, and the series will get real old, real fast, if they're blowing up hugely powerful aliens every week.

i know awhile back they were talking about bringing it back..but like 200 yrs from TNG or something like that..and the federation is weak..not much influence..and if i remember.. like in a state of chaos don't remember if it was from civil war or an actual war that ended..something like that catches my eye..because the federation has always been a galaxy power..with a lot of pull.. seeing it in a different state would be welcoming.

In my book the time is set five hundred years after ST-TNG and the Federation is as corrupt as can be. Earth and her allies have seceded from the Federation and formed the Terran Alliances, none of which have any love for the Feds. So rapha320's comment wouldn't surprise me at all.

I hope they bring Anna Torv for this in some capacity...she alone was worth reason to watch the Fringe

Anyway, looking forward to this, but i hope its better than recent movies.

As the Trek universe has been changed, so has the timeline. All the TV series' haven't happened yet in this timeline.

Temporal mechanics

They can do it all again...

Using Star Trek to make money......who'da thunk it.

Seriously? It won't air on cable? That sucks...
