I hope the new series ties in with Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and the others. The new movies take place in an alternate timeline and are not really canon.

So... pretty soon, every single media organization will have it's own paid streaming service and cost cutters will be paying MORE per month than cable? Welcome to the FAN Streaming Service, complete with exclusive Freakin Awesome Network forum content: - The Mod Squad: The moderators of FAN live in the same house all while tolerating the endless creation of tired FAN memes - Win, Lose, & Draw: Its a shameless ripoff of an 80s TV show that was itself a ripoff of Pictionary as FAN posters try and guess at the joke of someone doing a humorous photoshop first, and in the bonus round, guess as to how much disposable time such people apparently have on their hands - Trading Bases: The blatant ripoffs continue the MLB thread posters switch places with MLP posters for a day as the audience watches as glee as bronies attempt the understand the nuance of the infield fly rule, while baseball fanatic are horrified by the existence of something called rule 34 - This is Your Strife: The most heated threads from the archives are brought back to be examined by the original posters involved, leading to deep reflection, self cringe, and half the time the arguments starting up yet again The FAN Streaming Service: Its less a waste of money than lottery tickets. Probably.

Not necessarily a die hard Trek fan, but I call bullshit on airing the premier episode on standard tv then telling your audience, "wanna see what happens next week? Gonna cost ya $5.99 :-)"

Yeah its only a matter of time, but the competition should keep prices affordable. Frankly Netflix could be charging a hell of a lot more now, but have kept it at like 10. Also I'm not sure many will survive on their own. I can't imagine paying 6 dollars just for CBS programming when the alternatives provide so much more. I'd survive with only Netflix and HBO if they try to squeeze too many services into me. I have Netflix Hulu plus and amazon prime now and it only costs about 30 per month. I can also see cable finally changing their pre determined packages and allowing us to pick which channels we want. If this ends up being the case of drop most of my streaming services for cable.

I'm actually seeing a future where everybody says screw you to netflix/hulu/amazon (media groups not customers) and pull all their content for their own services, then expect people to pay MORE than current rates. Then they'll be confused why consumers don't want to sign up for 60 different services.

However if/when it happens I'm still sticking with Netflix because they have proven that most if not all of their original content is worth the 10 bucks per month. Then once everyone sees underperformed numbers they will drop their services and partner up again. Hulu partnering up with ShowTime was a great idea because sho doesn't have to pay for the technical aspects like HBO or WWE does for their streaming network. I see it happening but failing very fast. Like blockbuster boxes and redboxes.

I'm really hoping it's not that connected to the new movies. The reboot is good and Into Darkness was tolerable the first time I watched it, but I'd rather see something disconnected and feeling more like the older shows. Be neat to get some sort of follow-up to the TNG / DS9 / Voyager era, maybe be to those was TNG was to TOS.
Though probably would be hardpressed to follow it given the streaming thing. Rarely ever even use my Netflix account (related to that, feel like I'm weird because I've never once watched a single Netflix original on there and have no desire to) so sure not dropping money on a second one.

Time to do a Next Generation to the TNG timeline, have a new show be set a century after Picard & crew

A series set in the post-destruction of Romulus era that Star Trek Online takes place in could produce some good stuff. They could easily have TNG-era characters pop up for cameos as needed.

I would much rather have a direct DS9/Voyager follow up. It would be interesting to see how the respective empires are holding up after the dominion war.

If Ronald Moore and Ira Stephen Behr were in charge of the new series, then I'd support it being set in the Prime Universe of Next Gen and DS9. But since it's Alex Kurtzman in charge, I hope they stay as far away as possible from it, since I don't want Kurtzman shitting all over the good work done by Next Gen and DS9 writers, with retcons and terrible follow ups of their stories. I hated VOY, but it was set in the Delta Quadrant so it was largely its own canon to a certain extent, insulated from the rest of Trek.

That's a pretty good sign, Fuller is very talented and if he can make this show half as good as Hannibal was then we're all in for a treat.

That's a good sign. Meyer got Star Trek in a way few others did. His movies were Trek's best.

I'll wait until the season is finished, sign up for one month of CBS's service, and then cancel.

It's funny that Harve's original idea for Star Trek VI was a prequel, showing Kirk, Bones and Spock at the start of their Starfleet careers. But the original cast didn't like the idea, and Paramount didn't want to do a Trek movie without Shatner and Nimoy so it was rejected. They eventually resurrected the idea for the reboot in 2009.

That and it was the 25th anniversary that year and they wanted to give the old cast a better send off than Star Trek V.

Ultimately it worked out. I love Star Trek VI. I just wish Harve had stayed with the franchise. He'd have been a better executive producer for TNG. Roddenberry was just a nuisance, especially his "no conflict" rule, and Rick Berman wasn't much better.
