Star Trek: Discovery Gets A Premiere Date

Star Trek: Discovery Gets A Premiere Date
CBS All Access has announced that Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on Sunday, September, 24th. They even released a motion poster that you can check out below. It features the U.S.S. Discovery in flight.

Other news is that the 15-episode first season will be split into two. The first eight episodes will air on Sundays from September 24th through November 5th. The season then will resume in January 2018. I’m trying to keep an open mind about this show, but they make it hard. It just seems like they are failing on every level here. BUT, fingers crossed that somehow it is a good Star Trek. I can’t see how, but one can only hope.

First Star Trek: Discovery Trailer

First Star Trek Discovery Trailer
We have waited long enough. Now we finally have a trailer for Star Trek: Discovery. I really like what I see, but at the same time, in a way, it doesn’t feel like Star Trek. That may be a good thing. Time will tell. This is a great first trailer in any event and I want to see more. A couple of things: The Klingons are… Strange. What’s with the lens flares? Between that and other visual cues, this feels like New-Trek. Hmmmm. The level of technology and polished look of everything seems off for just 10 years before Kirk and Crew. Still, I’ll see where they take things before I complain too loudly.

Star Trek: Discovery Teaser

Star Trek Discovery Teaser
The new Star Trek series now has a name. Star Trek: Discovery. That is also the name of the ship. Designation NCC-1031. I love that it is based on concept art that the legendary Ralph McQuarrie did for the first Trek motion picture. I’m not sure how I feel about this design yet though. Kinda love it, kinda hate it. The back section is reminiscent of an old Klingon ship. I like parts of the design. Like the red bits in front of the nacelles. The saucer is okay. The rest is… I just can’t see how they justify that this design would fit into Star Trek. The more I see it, the more I realize that that back end is pretty awful. Maybe it’s not the final design. Right? Maybe it’s a Klingon/Federation crew? It’s the only way this makes sense. I can get behind this, but it has to make sense.
