Generations was a movie that would have benefited from a lot more time to tighten up the script and maybe it would have helped not to blow all that money building the stellar cartography set and those location shoots

Or told them a few years before so they could have saved the Yesterday's Enterprise script.

I was watching Dark Matter (out of boredom I assure you) last Friday when I got to thinking that nobody's done anything interesting with space battles since nuBSG. In the show I was watching it was the same standard "little bolts of coloured light smack into one model or the other, cut to the cast shaking and the lights dimming" type poo poo, shields at 47% and so on. It's not the mid 90's any more, without a wider context at least that poo poo's not going to work for anybody. (Nether is doing the same loving thing but shaking the camera around and loving with the colour filters and lens flares in post) I mean that angle was played out even when they hung the "yuk yuk, isn't this just like Star Trek?" hat on it on the Stargate shows.

So when the first teaser comes out looking like a cheapskate movie tie-in console game from 07, it inspires little confidence

To be honest on DM, the showrunner has mentioned he has something like 1/4 the budget he had on Stargate and that was a decade ago. But I agree, same ol'.

News:

quote:

Producer Bryan Fuller has announced that his upcoming CBS All Access series “Star Trek: Discovery” is set to have a female lead, a role that he adds could potentially go to a woman of color as reportedly all women seen for the role so far have been either African American or Hispanic.

CBS Television Studios is in the process of casting the role so sadly there will be no announcement of who will be involved in the show at today’s CBS presentation during the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

So far the various Trek series have had numerous female starship captains in guest star or recurring roles, while Kate Mulgrew’s Captain Kathryn Janeway “Star Trek: Voyager” became the franchise’s first female lead. Avery Brooks’ Captain Benjamin Sisko on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” was the first African American to lead a “Star Trek” series.

A non-white female lead however has not been done on Trek before and as has been suggested, the lead role in ‘Discovery’ is not necessarily a captain. Shooting on the series is set to begin in two months under the helm of David Semel, with make-up tests currently underway – check out one that Fuller tweeted about this week. The first episode is slated to premiere in January.

He's hilarious when he's a smarmy rear end in a top hat and thus easily the best part of The Big Bang Theory. He needs to do more roles like that.

While they are legally separate entities and Paramount licenses Star Trek from CBS to make the movies, both corporations are owned by National Amusements, headed by Shari Redstone and Philippe Dauman. It would be a simple matter of Dauman calling his counterpart at Paramount (Brad Grey, I think) and saying, "Yo, let Fuller use your poo poo."

Same reason why Colbert isn't allowed to use the skits he did on Comedy Central even though both CBS and CC are owned by Viacom.

They look and feel cheap. I realize CBS isn't exactly shelling out tons of dough for Discovery, but you can probably bet that it'll be on par with Enterprise in terms of set and production design. I can't speak for the non-DC CW shows, but Arrow and Flash look like moderately-budgeted fan films with scripts to match. Don't get me wrong, they can be fun and entertaining, but they're too light on substance for something like Star Trek. CW as a whole skews toward a teenage demographic and I'm not sure you could ever have a "Measure of a Man" or "Siege of AR-558" on a CW Trek show. I realize "entertaining schlock" has become the norm for genre tv, but it's not what I'm looking for in a Star Trek series.

I got a feeling you're gonna be really loving disappointed with the new trek show.
