Yet another Star Trek series is coming in 2017 on CBS All Access<\/a>. \u00a0Those last two words are the interesting part of that sentence. \u00a0The premier will be on broadcast TV, the rest of the series will be on their streaming video service. \u00a0My guess is that they figure that SciFi nerds are more likely to be cable cutters anyway.<\/p>\n

The article really doesn’t say much about the show itself. \u00a0That’s pretty much limited to “… introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.”<\/p>\n

This will bring the number of Star Trek TV series to an even half dozen.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Star Trek<\/li>\n
  2. ST: The Next Generation<\/li>\n
  3. ST: DS9<\/li>\n
  4. ST: Voyager<\/li>\n
  5. ST: Enterprise<\/li>\n
  6. ST: To Be Announce<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The original series was \u00a0the best of the\u00a0shows. \u00a0TNG was good when it wasn’t being preachy. \u00a0DS9 did it’s best work when it did what Babylon 5 did previous season. \u00a0I called ST:V ST:Lost in Space, which it should have been. \u00a0I liked Enterprise. \u00a0Especially in the third season, when they\u00a0told\u00a0some excellent multi-show story arcs.<\/p>\n

    If I had to guess, I’d say this new series will have more influence from the last two movies (third in the works).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
