Update…….

Alex Kurtzman will serve as executive producer.

He is part of the J.J.Abrams team that brought you Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek into Darkness (2013).

UGH!

You know that this is going to be set in the reboot universe, with all of that nonsense about 'punching it,' Orion girls who act more like air-headed bimbos, Spock/Uhura lover spats and revamped story lines from old Star Trek movies.

Let's not forget that Scotty with no Scottish accent.

I couldn't believe that one!

This show will be offered on CBS Full Access for around five dollars a month, maybe 5.99-I'm not sure.

I got this information from StarTrek.com

From the comments, and there are many of them, most seem none too enthusiastic about this prospect.

Glad I'm not alone on this one.

But, hey…

There's always Star Trek Continues!

And, you know what?

I suspect, that as popular as STC is, this new pseudo Star Trek that Kurtzman is offering will make STC even more popular, as unsatisfied viewers will discover and RUN to the fan produced triumph as their appetite for the real thing heightens.

Just my opinion.

Until next time...

Oh, Well….

Just read about it on the Deadline website.


There will indeed be a new Star Trek series coming out in January of 2017.


I forgot who will be the executive producer, and I really don't care frankly.


This show, however, will feature a whole new cast of characters.  It will not feature the cast of TOS.


I don't know about you all out there, but I think that Star Trek Continues does more than rise to the occasion of bringing the show back to life.

So, if it's all right with you I'm sticking to STC.

Thanks, but no thanks.
