I've seen plenty of Star Trek episodes.I'm just surprised that they're gonna do a new show after almost 12 years.I thought they were gonna just continue doing movies like they've been doing.I'll try to be optimistic about this new show,but if the attitude toward Enterprise is any indication,this one may suffer the same fate as that series.As far as it being only on the CBS app,I think I'll pass.I think I'll either torrent it or wait till it comes out on Blu-Ray.

IMO Enterprise should have been just a straight up prologue to the original series (as it looks like they are trying to do in this new show). Instead they had lengthy shitty story arcs on time travel and charmless alien races (Suliban, Xindi) who apparently were super influential back then but never heard from in any other Star Trek TV series (all of which are set later in time than Enterprise.) How does that make sense? The show had lots of promise but they mostly went in a stupid direction with it.
With the streaming thing, I think they will realize pretty quickly that (paid) viewership is much higher in the countries where it's on Netflix, and give up on the idea that this one show will prop up those other shitty services nobody's heard of.

they worked an explanation in for the klingon head-ridge paradox at the end. That was kinda cool.

Yeah they definitely did do some cool stuff to set the stage for the other series, I just think they wasted a lot of time on other tangents. In the Augments storyline it was also cool to see Brent Spiner back as a Soong ancestor.

They need a more specific timeline so that those new to the Star Trek franchise would know EXACTLY what years the shows take place in.

As far as I know there is indeed an exact time period. Star Trek: discovery Is supposed to take place directly after Star Trek 6 an undiscovered country.

Is Star Trek 6: An Undiscovered Country a movie? Never heard of it....
I figured it would come after Star Trek Voyager.

Star Trek 6 was the last of the original Star Trek Movies(all of which are on Netflix btw). I think if I'm not mistaken they had just brokered a treaty with the Klingons at the time. This takes place at the end of Cap. Kirk and the crews careers. I doubt Carasians or Ferengi will be in the series but it's possible they will explain how the federation and romulans became enemies. I personally thought is pretty weird they didn't continue off of voyager or even TNG also.

yah, thats pretty weird to me too.
Maybe Voyager just got too advanced in the last episodes of Voyager. I remember they had some advanced tech in the Voyager series.

It seems like they definitely made a conscious effort to move away from that "tech is so good it makes things boring" with Enterprise. Every time Archer went "Polarize the hull plating" I was thinking "Good luck you poor fucks."

They literally start every episode/movie with someone entering into their log the stardate.

After watching a couple episodes over the last couple days, I wanna retract my last comment. I couldn't understand shit when they talked about the star date. I'll have to check those links out.

hmmm... they cast sasha from TWD as the "main character" I really dont see her pulling this off. At best she will be a sisko. Not looking good..

I found him a bit hammy but watchable. Kind of a "stage actor" feel. Great show but most of the strongest characters weren't in the crew.
