    Eeh, this one has potential. It’s almost all the original crew (inc. the writers and the non Joss showrunner!) getting a chance to go back and tell more stories in a project they all loved and that’s had a lasting cultural impact. There’s a difference between people passionately revisitimg a sequel, and the gutless corpse of something being draped over a generic script and set loose on the unsuspecting villagers to milk them for all they’re worth like has been happening so much with Disney and Paramount lately (fucking Starfleet Academy)

      Do we know enough about Starfleet Academy to hate it? I like the genre of show it seems to be and love the idea of such a thing in the Star Trek universe. Why are all the teenage melodrama shows always in a magical/vampire setting? Why not SciFi? Clearly my perspective isn’t the majority of the current Star Trek audience, but why not broaden that audience and welcome new fans to the tent?

        thier formula for nutrek is pretty poor, when it was jump started by JJ abrams, and then kurtzman took the helm. thier current strategy, is forget the previous season and or movie, and look at this shiny new trek show we made, rinse and repeat.
