 CBS released the first teaser trailer for the new television series ... and I already hate the new Star Trek television logo ...

Oh and this shows nothing really except it looks like, to me, game graphics quality. Not impressed.

Well the follow up says that it will be set in the original continuity, NOT the Abrams stupid one... and betweent TOS and TNG (the Excelsior and Ambassador classes timeframe) and that, despite the "new everything" on the teaser, Klingons will be there.

And the teaser's final announcement implies that it will air on CBS AND CBS Access. (someone must have wakened them up on the huge advertizing money they were going to miss otherwise).

So... there is still some  hope after all...

[BLZBUB]

Yes, the first episode will air on CBS. Then, all the following one's will be on CBS All Access, and require pay-to-view.

Oh... not so smart after all

Especially considering that, of all five series, none had a first episode all that great; TOS the Cage was badly received and the second pilot Where no Man Has Gone Before wasn't even the best episode of all nor the first one aired (the very bad one Man Trap was); TNG's 2 hours first episode (Encounter at Farpoint) was an akward blend of action and cerebrality with characters still searching to define themselves; VOY's the Caretaker was somewhat bland sci-fi adventure; DS9's Emissary was a pseudo-mystical pretentious setting-in story giving no hint to the action-adventure saga it would turn out to be; and ENT's Broke Bow was so full of canon blunders no one got over it even when the show finally started to get things right in the end.

Even the movies got their start with Star Trek The Motion Picture which many (although not I) consider the most boring of them all... and let's not even consider the sheer stupidity, bad storytelling and photography, star wars rip-off and "slap-in-the-face-of all that came before" of Nu-Trek with their 2009 alleged reboot.

Star Trek series always builded themselves up as they went; TOS fame started when it went into syndication and it took TNG two years to get it's legs under it and three years before we got something like Best of Both Worlds. But by that same lenght of time, ENT had turned out right but had steadily lost it's audience before coming to age.

So, if they think to "hook" people enough to have them buy their pay-for-view with their Star Trek series, I hope for them to break this tradition of bad starts in a truly spectacular fashion... nothing short of Game of Thrones level.

And now, three years later, we know all about the entire fiasco it turned out to be.

And Nimoy was never a part of it, except for his stints in the first two Abrams disasters. His soul is at peace. Even Kurtzman cannot destroy his legacy now as he tried so hard in STD.
