I always worry that people some in and want to change Star Trek so much. Im a traditionalist in some sense but I have no issue with (in fact want them to) modernize things like sets and SFX. For example, I dont mind the look of the new movie Enterprise except its gigantic for no relevant reason. So to me its like, dont make changes just for the sake of change. Dont make a new Starfleet star ship that looks like a plate glass window just because you can "change" things. If I was the studio hiring, I'd want to know that my [producer and showrunner loves Trek, respects Trek and wants to take Star Trek and make it better from a storytelling perspective not what JJ did which was "The biggest problem with Star Trek is that it's Star Trek". If you feel that way, go make a show called Space Trip and you can originate any ideas or designs you want. Star Trek should be Star Trek. So Fuller is saying the right things. I just hope its relateable and recognizable as Star Trek.

The Unknown Poster Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Posted July 18, 2016 Interesting development: Netflix and CBS Studios International today announced a landmark international licensing agreement for the new STAR TREK television series. Netflix will be the exclusive premiere home of STAR TREK in 188 countries (excluding the US and Canada). Each episode of the new series will be available globally within 24 hours of its U.S. premiere. Additionally, all 727 existing episodes of the iconic STAR TREK television library – including "Star Trek: The Original Series," "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Star Trek: Enterprise" will be available on Netflix around the world by the end of 2016 - Latino Review Since this excludes Canada, one would assume this confirms they have a terrestrial channel provider to air the show here. What's interesting is that one of the things that pushed CBS to develop a new series was Netflix' interest in doing the same. Netflix liked the large interest in Star Trek on their platform and spoke with CBS about developing a new series. CBS, in turn, decided to do it themselves and pull their catalog from Netflix to move it exclusively to the CBS Streaming platform. So this is a partial reversal of that.
Jacquie Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 From StarTrek.com: Quote The Bell Media rollout for the new Star Trek series in Canada will mirror the launch in the United States. The first episode will premiere on Canada’s most-watched broadcast network, CTV, on the same night as CBS. All remaining episodes will initially be televised on Bell Media’s cable networks, Space (in English) and Z (in French), and then later exclusively on CraveTV, Bell Media’s streaming video-on-demand service. The Star Trek television library will return to Space (in English) and debut on Cinépop (in French), and will also be found among CraveTV’s leading lineup of premium television series. http://www.startrek.com/article/international-broadcasters-set-for-new-star-trek-series#sthash.RKWU7tWu.dpuf
Rich Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 Really not a fan of all these separate streaming services. Netflix, Shomi, Crave TV, I'm not going to pay for all of them. Already have Netflix and a fan of a lot of their original content. so I'm not going to get Shomi and / or Crave. Also, Netflix is unaffiliated with a network, so they are more likely to get content from a wider range of sources. Logan007 1
The Unknown Poster Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Posted July 18, 2016 VERY unhappy to hear the plan is to move this to Crave exclusively. Not cool. Unless the series is "cant miss", people will wait for the season to be finished and watch it on Netflix or get Crave and binge it. Annoyed. Makes more sense to make licensing deals with established streaming services like Netflix. Cant see how all these various services will ever make enough to make it worth it. Its one thing for a steaming service to be a companion to a network station, like HBO GO, but to HAVE to get the service in order to see a program? Dont like it. In time, everything will be delivered Over The Top so I guess this is the wave of the future. But seems like an inconvenience to me. But presumeably Bell is paying CBS a lot of money. Rogers did the same with WWE Network where they paid so much for the rights, WWE couldnt say no.

iso_55 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 That's how I read it. On Space then Crave TV.
The Unknown Poster Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Posted July 18, 2016 And then later exclusively on CraveTV, Bell Media’s streaming video-on-demand service do they mean the reruns will be exclusive to crave or the first run will eventually be exclusive.

And unless I see something amazing about another streaming service, I won't be getting anything else.

iso_55 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Posted July 24, 2016 As long as it can kick ass it doesn't matter. Not like in Enterprise.
The Unknown Poster Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Posted July 24, 2016 The cgi looked home made and apparently the ship design is not final. I imagine the blowback will result in changes. Suddenly im very worried as no one with any sense could come up with that. That design is actually an early design for a new enterprise when the first film was in planning stages. Appreviation os STD? Someone is an idiot. Fire Fuller.
The Unknown Poster Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Posted July 29, 2016 Moonves says Star Trek Discovery (STD) is already profitable due to their international licensing deals. Says they will do 13 episodes initially but expects the series to go on long term. Good thing its already profitable what with that horrendous teaser trailer.
Logan007 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Posted July 29, 2016 The CGI isn't finished, but the ship looks like crap. The saucer looks good but the rest looks like it has some kind of Klingon bird of prey influence. The Unknown Poster 1

There are rumours that the plot involves a co-branded mission between federation and Klingons where he ship is half of each. I don't believe that because that's incredibly stupid. They just used a design that was rejected in the 70's. But hopefully the backlash causes them to rethink it.

The Klingons and Federation have never done anything together that early in canon. Plus it's called the USS Discovery. What Klingon cares about discovering anything?
The Unknown Poster Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Posted July 30, 2016 Also if they did a co-program you wouldn't take a federation saucer section and stitch it to a Klingon drive section. That's fundamentally stupid. Im a bit concerned they are not releasing any information. Makes me think they are behind schedule if they aren't sure of thinks like premise and characters. Releasing that video was a terrible mistake. Logan007 and FrostyWinnipeg 2
