I was a Junior in college when "Star Trek" started and already a Sci-Fi fan for better than 10 years.

Really enjoyed "The Original Series" and still like to go back and watch favorites. I came to enjoy "The Next Generation" after they go it together past that terrible first season. "Deep Space" had a darker tone and I enjoyed it also. "Voyager" gave us a female Captain that had bigger gonads than even Kirk's and then they added Seven of Nine whose impressive pair was above the waist.

The "Enterprise" almost drove me away when Captain Jonathan Archer was a big, big fan of water polo!

And the films started off badly with The Motion Picture that was as flat as could be but came roaring back with Khan only to peter out by 1991's Number VI The Undiscovered Country. "The Next Generation" came back to finally kill Kirk off in 1994's Generations, hitting a homerun with 1996's kick-ass First Contact, a decent one in 1998's Insurrection and ending on 2002's Nemesis which I did not see so bad as to keel the series.

So, now we have "Discovery" that takes place10 years before Kirk, Spock and Bones but the trailer shows a Starfleet was more modern looking than it shoud be, especially the uniforms. I must say I found the trailer of Seth MacFarlane's upcoming new science fiction TV series "The Orville" having a more 'Star Trek' look than "Discovery."

Therefore, while I will turn in to the newest Star Trek series, I am not... getting my hopes up as the present PC media culture will likely make me throw up a little in my mouth watching it--

[Bender2]

Okay, y'alls... turn--

[Ciaphas Cain]

The new series has a gay science officer and Paramount/CBS has gone out of their way to hammer it into our heads that this Star Trek show has a GAY SCIENCE OFFICER.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Not watching it. Star Trek is dead. The 23rd century has become more of a communist reeducation camp than boldly going where no person of indeterminate gender has gone before.

[papertyger]

Perfect example of a writer and their “attention to detail...”

If Sarek was talking to Burnham when he made the comment about the human tongue: Who was the little kid?

[Hugin]

What’s up with the two captains? Or is that a couple that’s watching the pilot?

[mindburglar]

There won’t be any homos in the future. It will be cured by gay scientists.

[raybbr]

An Asian woman as captain. How cliche! Unless she’s a lesbian - now we’re scratching the envelope!

[mindburglar]

This will suck bigly.

The only reason DS9 was any good was because they ripped off Babylon 5. Sisko was great, though. 2nd only to Kirk as Captains.

[jalisco555]

Might be good. Voyager became unwatchable, Two of Two notwithstanding. Big fan of James Frain.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Just when things are going good, Psi Corps shows up.

[exPBRrat]

meh...no excitement from this former ST fan. That franchise has become a PC re-education exercise.

[Vaquero]

STTOS was great for it’s time. There was nothing else out there. Out of 3 years there was maybe 22 excellent episodes with a bunch of Space Hippies Space Nazis and Spock’s Brain making by up the rest. E. Pleb Neesto.

I looked forward to Next Generation. And watched every episode ..... but the PC crap was ripe and DS9 and Voyager were worse(7 of 9 made Voyager somewhat palatable ).
No.. I found Enterprise to be the best series since TOS. water polo aside. In 4 years it had around 30 excellent episodes. No Prime Directive = less PC crap. Though Archer eventually succumbed to the dark side.

As far as movies. TOS it goes 2,4,6,3,1,5 (sorry Bill). TNG best was 8. After that? Meh. The reboot movies? I liked them all. Just not enough techno-babble based on real science (red matter is not even attempting to do science ). Kind of just action.....but good action. ( Like Armageddon...just put your brain on hold and enjoy it, then hit a few golf balls at Greenpeace ).

I would pay good money to see a Movie based on Enterprise. Without (SPOILER ALERT) Trips untimely demise. Hell. Bring back Bobby Baccalà from season 4 as a crewman somehow. Aaaaa fugetaboutit. Perhaps replace Bacula with Chris Pratt as the captain and make Archer a chair bound admiral who breeds prize transportable beagles.

That’s it for now

I’ve seen a trailer for the new film.

Seems Star Trek has fallen victim to the same disease as Star Wars. Protagonists have to be female.

[Daniel Ramsey]

I guess then the mini skirts didn’t come into fashion yet?
And i suppose there must be a strong Chinese are superior tone as well?

[vladimir998]

I saw this trailer a couple of days ago. Visually it looks great (although I think they went overboard on the Klingons’ new look).

I’m just so, so, so tired of the “Girl Power” crappola. In the new Star Wars movies - both VII and Rogue One - the main star HAD to be a woman. Now in this new Star Trek the two most prominent characters (at least in initial episodes I guess) have to be a Chinese woman (Michelle Yeoh, Malaysian Chinese if I recall correctly) and Sonequa Martin-Green (who is black). I like both actresses, but I’m so tired of the “Girl Power” nonsense.

[brucedickinson]

People tune in to sci fi to see the aliens, adventure and new planets/ships. Nobody gives a sh&@ about the gays and empowered womyn. We get enough of that here on present Earth. This will flop bigly. I’m not going to watch a single episode. I don’t want to be preached at by blm and queers. I’ll just turn on cnn for that

[Reily]

It will fall into the unwatchable category!

The fan produced episodes of the original series will remain more creative ScFi and faithful to the canon!

[UCANSEE2]

[Paul R.]

Those uniforms (Star Trek: Discovery, not “The Orville”) look like they stole ‘em from Babylon 5.

[central_va]

Yawner. 1 season. 2 tops.
