That's the least of my worries about the new show.

I feel like it's time to let Red Letter Media bring forth the hate to flow through us.

They first got massive attention for trash-critting the Star Wars prequels (in a somewhat intelligent way with a super-dumb presentation model), but have a much longer series slamming the TNG movies. (And then, to a somewhat lesser extent, the Abrams movies.)

ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Very interesting! It looks like this show WILL NOT be in set in the Jar Jar Abrams universe!

Excellent! The time period for the original crew ST movies is my favorite for ST. And with Nicholas Meyer on board, it's looking good so far.

Set during the Lost Era?  That is indeed interesting; it's a period rarely covered except by books in the Expanded Universe.

We're losing the signal.

God, the commercials were bad.

This is underwhelming

Dammit Jim! That trailer needs a doctor.

The font and logo are both ugly.  :(

As long as it's set just after Star Trek VI like has been mentioned and Nicholas Meyer is involved, I'll definitely give it a shot.

Years ago, I had an idea for a new ST series, it was set on the Enterprise-B just after Kirk disappeared. I actually created the characters in the old FASA rpg, I loved creating characters in that game.The captain was a grumpy Tellarite named Gavney (son of the assassinated Ambassador Gav from TOS) who was a brilliant navigator and born leader. He would swear and curse but had an indestructible sense of humour. He was such a vivid character that I still remember him today. He would have been a riot to roleplay.

Well, that's a typical trailer - lots of fluff and flashy effects but zero actual content. That's what you get when movie studios and TV studios are all owned under the same bloated corporate umbrella.

In any case I'll reserve judgement until it comes out. Though keep in mind, ST:TNG took at least two seasons of suck before it started hitting its stride.

It pains me to admit it, but I'm tired of Star Trek. The franchise has been beaten into the ground. I have zero interest in the new film or TV show. The Axanar fan flick looks very cool, but I doubt we'll ever see it. What started as a cultural quirk has turned into a pure money grab. I'm sick of it.
