    CBS All Access has announced an October 15th premiere date for the third season of their big budget sci-fi series “Star Trek: Discovery”. The date means the new episodes arrive a full eighteen months after the second season finale in April last year. The new season will see the crew having jumped 930 years into […]

      I've seen the first episode.

      Please, somebody burn it with fire - it's like a really really bad Family Guy in space with worse animation and a badly written script.

      Why does this even exist as a thing?

      I just don't get it - the initial concept had loads of potential so for it to end up as a "comedy animation", what the hell happened? Is this a result of some skewed focus group or the pet project of a producer's son? Who is the target audience, because it isn't Trek fans, or kids, or anime, or adult cartoon fans. Terrible on every single level.

          If you search on Daily Motion you'll find it.

            Cool, thanks.

            Edit: It lost me even before the opening sequence. I watched a bit more but it seems absolutely generic, so predictable and Trek only being used to chuck references in there, like, fans you guys know these things, right?! I might watch a couple of episodes when it hits one of my usual services but it made a very poor first impression.

              Miss it and you may miss something that turns out to be important though - it's all official canon remember!

                Nothing of any importance is ever going to happen in that series. Ever.

                There was an episode in season 7 of TNG about the lower decks (in fact I think it was called Lower Decks); when I heard about this series eons ago, I thought that was the sort of thing that was going to come out of it, only expanding on the idea of what goes on with all the new ensigns. I don't remember a replicator spewing out endless bananas for no reason in that episode.

                I just hope they're not planning on making a comedy Trek series out of TNG S01E08.

                  No.

                  I think it's because our CBS stuff goes on the UK Netflix - but Netflix hard-passed on funding the show, so it might a bit weird contractually.

                    I don't think CBS is in bed with any particular streaming service. Picard went to Amazon, Discovery went to Netflix.

                      Ah yeah, good point, I forgot about Picard! Now I think about it, the Trek movies were on Amazon briefly too.

                        Paramount Pictures’s new motion picture group president Emma Watts is reportedly re-assessing her film slate – and that includes the three “Star Trek” film projects in development. Three potential ‘Trek’ films were in the works – one with a story by Quentin Tarantino, one that would continue the Abrams-universe films and see Chris Pine reunite […]

Specifically the R-rated pitch by filmmaker Quentin Tarantino who came up with and developed a story idea that “The […]

                          Reportedly Tarantino's stalled Star Trek movie would have been a 1930's set Gangster movie lifting its premise from an original series second season episode, thereby keeping the budget economical.

                              A Peice of the Action - it's a classic ToS episode.

                                CBS All Access is hosting a 'Star Trek Day' virtual celebration, with stars from nine 'Trek' series reuniting for panel discussions.

                                CBS All Access will be hosting a digital event on 08 September in which they will reunite nine Star Trek casts. It will be notable because one of the panels is also on the new show Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
