Star Trek series coming in 2017

[Barthheart]

This show is going to be a colossal failure. Who's the producers? Who do we string up?

They also might want to go back and watch the TOS episode Bread and Circuses where Uhura says a line about "the son of God".  ::)

They might want to go back and watch some Star Trek, period.

From Memory Alpha which has a whole entry on God for God's sakes. Wait, can I say that on Grogheads? :

Where a situation existed in which an individual had no other choice and had to kill to protect themselves or another, that individual might ask a God for forgiveness. In 2266, Doctor Leonard McCoy said, Lord, forgive me, before he killed the M-113 creature. The doctor was saving the life of Captain James T. Kirk. (TOS: "The Man Trap")

I'd give good money to see what would happen on set if they'd tried to tell DeForrest Kelly to censor the G word.

She came from a planet where she and her sister had been constantly molested or in danger of it, so she had trouble relating to men intimately. And this was before the days of openly gay characters. (And maybe suggesting lesbianism is a neurosis wouldn't be pc anyway. ;) )

Consequently, she regarded Data as the safest male on board to work out her issues. Except once the inebriation wore off, she couldn't really deal with starting a relationship with him. This led to some interesting romantic angst on his part, although only after she died.

It's too bad Denise decided the crew roster of main characters was too full (certainly true) and wanted to be more of a main character somewhere else -- although to be fair, her decision was technically the correct one since there was almost no way they'd be writing out Worf's character, and if so they'd only have replaced him with another Klingon since fans generally liked the idea. And Yar and Worf were in direct competition for plot relevance. (In so much competition that in the first and only episode primarily focusing on her, Worf simply doesn't show up!)

She did come back for what was one of the best episodes of TNG, Yesterday's Enterprise

Well, now we know why they wanted to crush Star Trek Axanar. 

And now's a good time to introduce Vomit Guy's brother Pukey.

I would love to know what the reaction of the fans seeing the trailer was.

Star Trek died on June 2, 1999.  :'(

[Sir Slash]

Not even Hortas could save that.  :wow:

This is a pretty interesting watch.  You know you've got a troubled production when Midnight Edge decides to do a video on you.  Real eye openers here about how the licence between CBS and Paramount works, and why Discovery legally can't resemble Star Trek or fit into the Prime timeline..
