1987. TNG came out in 1987, when Ronald Reagan was President and the Soviet Union was still A Thing and the Berlin Wall was still up.

I was all excited for the new show because they got the Wrath of Khan guy working on it but that teaser was utter trash. That's poo poo you include as part of a behind the scenes extra on the blu ray if anywhere at all, not what you use to try to sell people on your new project

Normally a new Trek series would make me very excited but sadly I probably will lose interest quickly due to the hassle involved in watching it. I'll have every intention of a binge watch after season 1 comes out, but I'll get busy and lose interest and maybe accidentally read a few spoilers online but not really care and finally watch it in about 11 years like I did with DS9 because it was on network my cable company didn't carry.

I don't know whether to be excited that that retarded looking ship means it's probably not AATrek universe, or disappointed that it's probably the worst space ship I think I've ever seen in relation to star trek.

Not even mentioning the music video CGI.

Wow, I sure hope it's not in the Aatrek universe. I do not need full-on kiddy diddling in Star Trek.

Those effects have GOT to be placeholders - which makes me wonder if people making this show have seriously poor judgment for showing it in public.

The other day they tweeted a picture of the un-upholstered captain's chair from the show, my guess is they scrambled to put something together so they'd have anything to show at SDCC.

these are my feelings. I never got into star trek in my youth. Enterprise is the only one that came out in my adult life but I think it was cable only which I didn't have. I seriously watched most of the poo poo via syndication on a UHF tv set in the 90s until the advent of netflix, and not very regularly. I only watched DS9 in the past two years, thanks to netflix. I only recently got some sort of "cable" recently after years without any sort of broadcast tv in my house, and thats the Sony Playstation Vue or whatever, if that ties into that and I don't have to pay for it, like I understand certain channels are like, then maybe, otherwise I can't be bothered. I especially can't give a gently caress about a weekly broadcast poo poo because gently caress if I'm going to set my tv watching to a calendar and not just binge watch when I'm feeling particularly shut inish.

CBS basically acting like its 95 again with this poo poo.

No one will watch it and it will be "GUESS NO ONE WANTS STAR TREK WE TRIED"

I don't plan on paying if I do wind up watching it, but it's still a hassle. I'm really excited to watch the second season of Kimmy Schmidt, but still haven't bothered yet.

I just need a new TV because if I want to watch something I've downloaded I have to convert the file and burn it to DVD. I just keep putting it off because this TV works fine and is huge.

Someone should start a company where you get a box of 3rd world children who will watch your downloads and memorize them and act them out for you in your living room in HD.

The bit where the Enterprise battles the future tech Luftwaffe was straight out of a 90's FMV game. I can't post youtube links so this pic will have to do.

There is the "Prime Timeline" (TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY/STD(lol))

Sliders debuted in 1995, it took me until this year to finally watch it all because after season two it turned into a pile of hot garbage. It's awful, terrible, worse than voyager.
