The failures of Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek were made as a part of a larger team. CBS will undoubtably have the final say in what they want out of this new series and ultimately it all depends on what writer(s) they get onboard to conceive this show. <br /><br />Like TNG before it, this new show needs to reach out to "the next generation" and invite new fans into this universe...

Also Kurtzman has done good stuff too, Fringe, Alias, Mi3, Trek09. <br /><br />Have hope, this could be the start of something great, I'm excited Trek is not going to be on a network which would just kill it in a season in a ratings war. Like TNG airing in syndication this could be a format defining renaissance.Neil Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319517270923141927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-18889294119770093282015-11-03T05:03:58.541+00:002015-11-03T05:03:58.541+00:00Alec Kurtzman's involvment all-but guarantees ...Alec Kurtzman's involvment all-but guarantees that this new series will be absolute garbage... and its wonky exclusivity all-but guarantees it won't last very long.<br /><br />And the world being what it is, the inevitable failure of this TV show will all-but guarantee that the studio bigwigs will write off Star Trek as a franchise that "just doesn't have an audience anymore" yet again.Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756314199036780238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-29913970971879571912015-11-03T00:42:33.420+00:002015-11-03T00:42:33.420+00:00Well, I already use both Netflix and Amazon Prime ...Well, I already use both Netflix and Amazon Prime but I'm not willing to drop Netflix or add a 3rd sreaming service, so I guess no more Trek for me, legally , maybe.Kevman7987https://www.blogger.com/profile/08056337296226407002noreply@blogger.com
