Holy $hit, YES! YES YES YES!
Here's hoping they set it after TNG, DS9, and VOY. Make it so, CBS!

That's cool. I'm not a major fan of Star Trek, but I'll check this out regardless.

Maybe now we'll get that ep where they travel to Dimension X in a far off galaxy

Wouldn't it be set in the same universe as the movies? I don't seem them going back to old continuity after the movies rebooted it.

Exclusive to CBS's streaming service? Screw that. Kurtzman sucks anyway.

Agreed. I'm all for new Trek, but this project seems like nothing more than a commercial for a crap digital service no one wants. The fact that they're airing the first episode on TV and then are going to be like, "Pay to see the rest online, suckers!" only proves this.

Maybe they don't have the budget to do a full-fledged Star Trek show for regular television anymore? I mean I'm no expert but I would assume Star Trek shows are very costly to produce.
You have to build the sets, the make-up for the aliens, the CG for the ships, the salary of all the actors, the directors, writers, music composers, etc. Wasn't one of the reasons Enterprise was canceled was because they couldn't afford to keep it going? |

While traditional TV won't go the way like radio did in the 1950s, streaming is definitely the new "pay cable" in addition to traditional "pay cable" channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, etc. That said, standard TV nowadays is crap, mostly aimed at a least common denominator due to advertising and certain formulas. With an online streaming source, this could be more impetus to encourage streaming.
Enterprise just wasn't very good; despite fan myths about "franchise burnout" given that the series came on the heels of over two decades of movies, three other TV series, and numerous fan conventions including a fan film, Enterprise was subject to bland characters and confusing plots. That said, 12 years is a pretty decent gap between TV series, and with the technology and real life ideas that have surfaced, certainly has potential.

My hopes and dreams are shattered. Except there was every chance this is gonna be in nuTrek continuity, which means I still won't watch it unless a Jem'Hadar and a Cardassian are both main characters.

Oof... the instrument samples they used for the music... they couldn't have gotten a better sound out of it?

As the foremost Trekkie on here (seriously, am I only the one? I feel like the only one), I'm cautious and already feeling like this is a mistake.
"New enemies?" Star Trek has never been about the enemies. Never. It's had some amazing enemies (the Dominion, the Borg Collective, the Cardassians and the Romulans), but they've never been the focus. Only movies have ever seriously promoted the "big bads" (Khan, Borg Queen, Shinzon, Nero, Totally-Not-Khan, Iris Elba)... and considering how nuTrek is already a fundamental misunderstanding of Star Trek, and this is probably following in its footsteps... I'm preparing myself for disappointment and anger.

The Next Generation, ditto. Deep Space Nine, ALL OF IT. Voyager, there are some good ones... Enterprise, if you so desire prequels.

I've been meaning to get into Star Trek as well, so thanks for the recommendations.

You will not miss anything if you skip Voyager, it takes the least amount of risks in Trek's whole televised canon, and Enterprise suffers from an identity crisis right until the last season and ends on a real bum note.

Zarius makes good points on both Voyager and Enterprise; Voyager is my least favorite, just because it has so much potential yet does so little.
If anyone wants detailed recommendations on which episodes are must-see and which are must-skip, PM me and I am more than happy to give you full intel. Live long and prosper.

I would watch Enterprise first. I agree that the show didn't know what it was for a while, but it is the beginning. I think it does a good job of setting things up, and they deal with so much stuff that's figured out by the time Kirk and his crew are rolling through space, making cargo deliveries and facilitating diplomatic relations. Before the Federation, before the Prime Directive, and before Earth is a big player in galactic society, it really captures the excitement of trekking out into the final frontier.
