The show-runners of the highly anticipated new CBS Star Trek series have said their Klingons will symbolize Trump supporters in modern America.
Released on September 24th, Star Trek: Discovery will continue the show's time-honored practice of mirroring the contemporary world in a futuristic setting.
The story, set 10-years before William Shatner's Captain Kirk, will focus on the fractious early relations between the United Federation of Planets and the aggressive Klingon Empire.

I vividly remember a scene in one of those episodes where he told someone that money was a thing of the past and that everyone worked toward the benefit of everyone else, and that was itself it's own reward.
What BS that was and is. Somewhere Roddenberry went off the rails and stayed there, I think some had to do with the second wife, she used to be on the original Star Trek, she played nurse Chapel, Majel Barrett.
Star Social Justice Warriors.
No thanky.
The ship design is a total steal rehash from an earlier proposed series. Can’t even create anything original anymore.
I may just watch with the sound off, I like watching the ships. May not, they may not have enough o that to make it worth it.
These idiots can go to hell.
Shows are now broadcasting they do not want certain people to watch them.
I’ve only actually sampled a few bits and pieces here and there from all of the post-original S.T. series. But it was enough for me to see that there was nothing there that I wanted to continue watching. Same goes for 95% of all TV series since the 70s.

I have a question concerning that Photo.
What are the three Black People segregated to the back of the table?
Just askin’...
Should never eat and type at the same time! :^/

Make that: WHY are the three Black People segregated to the back of the table?
Geez...
So just how does virtue signaling work as a business strategy?
Is it like shooting a hole in the bottom of a lifeboat to “keep it real”?
They may have chose to sit together rather than with whitey.
I have not bothered with any of the “New Trek”, i.e. anything from the reboot and after. Granted, TNG had it’s political correctness moments. But anything after Enterprise I ignored.
Ugh space hippies!
Where’s space Cartman when you need him?
Klingons. Ferocious warriors in in the Star Trek universe known for their bravery, honor, and loyalty.
mooves is a buffoon to shareholders. He does not know his source material or his viewer base.
he probably thinks spaceguns and aliens. pew pew pew....
Cbs online is doa.
NETflicks got play BIG TIME for paying for this albatross. Netflicks should demand their money back for fraud.
Agree. Conversely, I thought DS9 got things right. Good actors, good plots, interesting characters, and no annoying Dianna Troy.
