I never even HEARD of CBS all access until I started investigating the new Star Trek series. So yes, getting anyone to sign up would definitely be a record. Getting me to sign up would be a fuckin miracle.
Lol define record. 1 more would be a "record."
The Klingons look too stiff and too covered with thick cumbersome garments to be warriors. They seem more like a fanatical religious cult then a warrior race. Again, if they'd made them an original alien race it would be infinitely more palatable.Wow, lot of commercials! I really think it was close to 50%.
Overall, I liked it and will watch it when it goes to Netflix. The Klingons were a little hard to take with their super slow speeches.
Stupid misleading headline.
No specific numbers were reported
Stupid misleading headline.
I finally got to watch both episodes, and...I would most likely keep watching it if it was on network TV, but, nope, not gonna pay more $$$ to watch the rest of the season.
Arrrrghhhh! What ye be sayin, matey?
The problem with this joke is that Star Trek has never followed that convention for abbreviating their series. TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT.
Heh, actually, I watched it on a friend's phone, he got a free trial.Nah... I don't even care enough to bother pirating it
Bear in mind the ultimate goal here is still to sell the show into syndication. Paramount still makes bank year over year from stations and networks licensing Star Trek for syndication, and over the years they have made far more money that way than by first-run revenues.That's terrible. So this is a pay-to-view show that has the length of free-to-air shows, compared to other premium channels that push 55-65 minutes per episode.
So according to the producers, this is set in the Prime universe. Which right now at least, doesn't look like it's going to be easy to reconcile. They haven't made any major violations, but it also doesn't make any efforts to really fit in.I also had to remind myself that this is the timeline of the new Trek movies, so everything I've learned from TOS-TNG-VOY-DS9 timeline doesn't mean anything here.
Canon has never dealt a great deal with the period before TOS. Enterprise focused on the very founding of the Federation and Starfleet, but there's still that roughly 90 year gap. There have been a few off-hand statements from characters, otherwise the only major canonical elements of pre-TOS history have been WW3, the war with the Romulans, and the fact that the Federation and the Klingons never got along until after Star Trek VI.So, was this "cold war" thing totally new to the reboot? I know in the original Star Trek Klingons weren't allies until Episode 6, but I don't remember a reference to them at all in the reboot movies.
Can anyone help me out here?
thats nowhere near correct.
Star Trek was never TOS. It wasn't even called TOS until long after The Next Generation. It's actually with Deep Space 9 that they started creating acronyms for it, so it goes DS9, TNG+TOS, VOY, ENT. STD. because STD is funny.
show was shit.
Well when you put it that way I have to agree. Plus these Klingons all have speech impediments which make them sound stupid. Their clothes suck....where's Garak when you need a good tailor?Sorry CBS, keep your STD.
Oh yeah I dig Michelle Yeoh too but when I saw her listed in the credits as special guest appearance by I knew she was being killed off.I like the Captain.
Seriously? Well, thanks for the spoiler.Oh yeah I dig Michelle Yeoh too but when I saw her listed in the credits as special guest appearance by I knew she was being killed off.
Blame the credits that you see in the very beginning of the first episode. You don't introduce a regular cast member like that.Seriously? Well, thanks for the spoiler.
Cast sucks so bad that this show will die in its incubator... CBS just lost their mind.
It was bound to happen anyhow. She's way too high profile to be a regular on a TV show. A lot of us have been calling her death since her participation was announced.Blame the credits that you see in the very beginning of the first episode. You don't introduce a regular cast member like that.
THIS is where things get a little hairy, as least for me. So, we are set before the reboot movies, and even get a date at the beginning of the show.
"Set roughly ten years before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series,[2] the show sees the Klingon T'Kuvma work to unite the 24 great Klingon houses, leading to a cold war between his race and the United Federation of Planets that involves the crew of the USS Discovery.[3][4]"
