Oh you thought Larat planted the bomb in the Klingon restaurant? No, that was Marek setting up Larat using Emon (the Romulan double-agent) as a patsy. Larat dropped the screw in the yamok sauce. Now you've condemned a guilty man to an even worse punishment!

The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film “Star Trek Beyond,” which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016.

This leads me to believe it's either going to be in the "prime" universe or just yet another reboot altogether. This statement doesn't rule out it taking place in the JJ-verse, but with the weird rights distribution where CBS owns the TV rights and Paramount owns the movie rights, they probably won't even have it in the same continuity.

Who will be the first hot-shotted TNG cameo offered mid season up in a desperate appeal to jump start failed ratings? I'm willing to bet its going to be John DeLancie playing some sly Q-incognito with it all ending the episode on a sly wink to the camera and a flash of light.

That is more like second episode fodder then they still think there is a chance to lure generation hashtag by roling out the Communicator's SnapChat™ function so you can follow sexy Andorian Ambassador Kelmek's SnapChat™ story between commercial breaks. Then miley will appear in the ship's bar, that looks a lot like a Chipotle™ to play him a thinly veiled song song about rimjobs while wearing thin veils.

At first they'll try to drive away the HAM radio & Lt. Cmdr Data-loving crowd with modernity then come crawling back.

Honestly, if the only change this results in is just slightly more bloom, I'm okay with the change. The new Trek universe has been so poorly fleshed out that they can honestly just do the same old poo poo they've always done with Star Trek and barely refer back to the new films.

I just don't see how they could ever hope to do anything as complex as Deep Space Nine with the shallow world they are now playing in.

I just want two Trek shows: one a traditional Trek show, like TOS and TNG, and one a spin-off designed to show off a new corner of the universe. Maybe do something kind of weird and have it centered around a restaurant in space. That way you can do lavish sets and have people in civilian clothes, but also have big state dinners and Starfleet officers coming 'round for the best plate of Torellian Squash Maggots in the whole quadrant.

Maybe a weird cross between Downton Abbey, Star Trek, and throw in a murder mystery subplot underneath it all. The best part would be to have Hannibal-esque food for all the weird alien dishes, and one of the main cast is a belligerent four-armed alien Frenchman.

The new Trek universe has had 5 hours of onscreen world-building, while by the first episode of DS9, Trek.Rev1 had 150+ hours of onscreen world building, including TOS, TNG and a pile of movies. Several TNG episodes were designed to introduce concepts specifically for DS9. A dark, gritty Trek with complex narrative arcs can exist again, but it won't hit HoloTube after well after Donald Trump has left his second term in office.

Apparently since CBS and Paramont are splitsville, its going to be different to the JJTrek poo poo. I'm hoping they decide to stay in the timeline that the Enterprise came from when they went back in time in First Contact breaking the temporal prime directive like crazy for no reason to create that alternate timeline that only Enterprise, the rest of the movies and the weird supernova that destroyed the galaxy was in.

Or, what if it was set in a bakery? They could talk about yeast and so on.
