They need to ditch that ship design yesterday. That thing is hideous.

OMG that whole trailer just reeks of 'Look at us...Nostalgia! Look at us! Look at what we are doing for you" most of that trailer was about Trek of old -shakes head- Nostaligia only matters if it's done tastefully. This looks forced.

I consider it a failure even before it launches because I just don't see that much of the american viewing audience signing up for a monthly paid service just to watch it and pretty much only it. I know I wont and there isn't anything else CBS makes that even remotely makes me interested in said service (this coming from a guy with netfix & amazon prime & preferred the old days of monthly subscription fees for MMOs over freemium), nor is it going to be competitive with the existing services, Netflix, amazon prime, or hulu which either buy content from multiple sources or in hulu's case are a joint venture between multiple stations. Yet other countries will be able to watch it on TV or Netflix it's just stupid. I don't get why it wont be on CBS TV here, do they just think people want it so bad that it will make their streaming service viable or is it just not good enough for a time slot on CBS proper? The last star trek show was canceled because it just didn't do that well but a new one is expected to make a entire new service viable? Its been almost twelve years since they have had a new episode of a trek series on TV thats a big expectation of a franchise that doesnt have much current market data movies excluded. Lastly call me cynical but I don't expect much I think it is a money machine attempt I remember a prior article hyping it talking about how Rodenberries son was involved. Only thing I've heard of from him was a movie about his Dad which from the description sounds like a cash in attempt on that so I wouldn't expect much different from this.
PS that ship is awful so bad that after it was originally shown it seemed they distanced themselves from it saying it wasn't set in stone yet if I remember correctly. Yet the ugly thing was in the latest video again.
On a brighter note. If it isn't hot stinking garbage and they prove me wrong which I wouldnt mind in the slightest, hopefully CBS wises up and puts it on TV besides just the first episode. Because if its not crap or super annoyingly preachy I would like to watch it.

Given the ideology of the current times, I fully expect it to be preachy.

All I have to say is...hopefully those aliens are something NEW...cause they would be some ugly Klingons.

That is NOT how Valkriss looks not to mention it is a very generic to alter a very iconic look example...taking an iconic and unique look and updating means making it look more generic? I did not agree with the updated changes in the rebooted film before the prime universe spilt and again they go to the past and try an reinvent the wheel you want new uniforms?? new ships...new aliens in the trek verse...update it for more modern audiences?? i'm fine with all that...move the timeline ahead to the future and ADD to it... -shakes overtired kitty head-
