You mean CGI?I'd be more excited for a new Star Trek if they weren't shoving new age PC crap into it.

I wouldn't describe ST as PC. I'd describe it as progressive in its social commentary.
Some people are just bigots. Bigots gonna bigot.
"I don't like looking at gay people more than I like watching Star Trek" is literally the thought process on these folk.
UPDATE: Starts filming next week, anticipated release date some time in May.

Also, the premise sounds like this:
Discovery is set before the original show (a decade or so). So this means they'll probably have the Romulan / Federation War as well as the initial border wars with the Klingons. So this means that the original Star Trek had ships like the Enterprise to go out and explore because they'd pretty much settled their original conflicts (like wars) with other large groups.
So the Voyager series was supposed to be original "hey everybody we're the Humans!" but ended up all timey-whimey because the writers could think of any conflicts (eye-roll) except of the future trying to abort the past. The original was hey, everything is so normal now, let's go on a road trip!"
So this one? Well, could you call it gritty? And we've had our reveal of major aliens (like Klingons) already, so how can we make them I dunno, exciting.
Are they still planning on making this exclusively available in the CBS subscription service?
If so, I kind of WANT it to fail. I don't want the other networks to start thinking that it's a good idea to put their top shows behind an additional paywall on top of our existing cable TV and internet subscriptions.
'Star Trek: Capt Worf' is finally here?http://www.startrek.com/article/new-star-trek-series-premieres-january-2017
I'm happy. Star Trek is a creature of television. The movies are just expanded story vehicles.
Sounds like it's gonna be in the J.J.-verse, which I'm a little iffy on but not surprised. Regardless, bring it on!
Don't worry, it will fail. Putting their nerdy TV show on a service people have to pay for to watch that show (and would only pay for it to get that show) is how you break GOT's records for most torrents downloaded.
