Some WTF here, looks like a klingon ship from the bottom.

That CGI is 1990s video game quality.

Series will probably be worse than fanfic, which is saying a lot.

That cgi vessel looks horrible and if that's supposed to offer a glimpse into this new series I'll just stick to watching The Expanse for free.

Very disappointing but unsurprising. Reality tv is so dirt cheap compared to scify that the audience the latter needs to justify its existence is usually untenable.

Fun Fact: Ships in 90's trek (First Contact) were CGI and not models. It was just done so well you didn't notice.

The guys who did the CGI for Star Trek Voyager did that little "405: The Movie" short where a jetliner lands on a Jeep Cherokee.

It's a rough cut teaser. The final CGI probably won't be ready until December (or even January) since this is a TV show.

However the design of the model itself is a disappointment. With all of those hard angles, that's one ugly ship.

 

[Elixer]

Wow, that is much worse than I thought it would be.
It looks like a rough draft version that some suit thought was OK to release 'as is'.

Ugh.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Looked a little sloppy but I think we're making it into a bigger issue than it is. I'm still excited to check it out. I am concerned about the web only part, seems like a cash grab but hopefully I'll be wrong.

 

[disappoint]

DS9 was the best.
TNG was a close second.

I wouldn't fault anyone for putting TNG 1st and DS9 second though. They were both good in their own ways.

TOS was groundbreaking at the time but now shows it's age.

Didn't care for the others.

Reminds me a bit of Star Trek 2009's teaser trailer. A bit more showy, but similar.

Variety is reporting that after the pilot episode—when Discovery becomes a CBS All Access exclusive—the show will be made to "carry an ad load of 12 minutes per episode" in addition to the $6 monthly charge for access to the service.

Video Games from 10 years ago had better cut scenes than that trailer btw...

 

[cbrunny]

It's too bad a company like HBO can't get its hands on the rights to Star Trek. I'd pay lots of money to see what HBO could do with the universe.

BTW- if this hasn't been mentioned, the ship was based on the Enterprise from the failed Phase II series in the 70's:

How to fix a leak, stick some dynamite into it!

It would have to have the quality level of Game of Thrones for consumers to put up with that.

 

[Exterous]

Their streaming service sucks as it is - by far the worst of the major networks IMO. I think its only because they have some popular shows that they've been able to get away with it

 

[lupi]

Yes, the current free version does an extremely crappy job maintaining an HD connection and slips to SD way too often.

 

[nakedfrog]

Seriously, six bucks a month and 12 minutes of commercials? I don't fucking think so.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I'll do it $6 per month isn't outrageous provided you get 4 episodes and they don't suck. I also won't pay when the season is over.

 

[Cheesemoo]

It's implied that it will air on CBS first, unless CBS is extraordinarily dumb. As for "contemporary issues", gender issues have been explored in every series of Trek, as have police states and governmental overreach. No need to get your panties in a twist if they discover hermaphroditic aliens.

 

[Craig234]

"gender issues have been explored in every series of Trek"

Kirk explored them in depth.

Yarr...

 

[nakedfrog]

Yarr...

I can't bring myself to care that much.

I'd just as well do an iTunes season pass then. ~$2/episode, and you get to own them. $1.50/episode for temporary streaming rights with commercials is not a very good deal. There's nothing on CBS's service I would even want besides the new Star Trek (and if they pull the old series off of Amazon, we're going to have words...).
