Quote:The first trailer for the long-awaited series Star Trek: Discovery is here, exploring the franchise’s most time-honored conflicts within an early era of the Federation.

The trailer features Sonequa Martin-Green, fresh from The Walking Dead, as Michael Burnham, a first officer promoted unexpectedly to the position of captain by her mentor, Captain Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh). Set 10 years before the original Star Trek series (and 90 years after the franchise’s only other prequel, Star Trek: Enterprise), the new series follows the starship Discovery as Burnham learns to become a captain. But she soon finds her abilities tested by a host of challenges that will be familiar to all lovers of the classic sci-fi universe: new worlds to explore and alliances to forge, hostile Klingons, and the difficulty of adhering to the Federation’s peacekeeping mission.

I've been looking forward to this, it's the first time Star Trek has been on CBS since the original series.

Always liked me some good classic sci-fi...
but the TV format scares me.

Hope there's a biiig feature film coming, too. :)

I was reading that it premiers on CBS TV then goes to the internet. CBS has an online network, and Netflix will take it world wide.
They are making sure it doesn't get cancelled because of a bad time slot like the first series that's been in reruns for 50 years.
Thanks for that BF, I've always liked Star Trek, I had no idea it was in production there have been so many setbacks.

Oh wow! I hadn't heard about this, it looks "light years" better than the other Trek series. I love SciFi.

Nice! I can see YouTube videos, but flash is blocked at work. :(

They took down the YouTube Video already.

So does that mean you don't have to pay to see it now? That was the original deal. You had to pay for CBS online .

We have to pay for Netflix here, I think we pay 8.95 a month.

Yeah, we have Netflix too. The only problem with Netflix is that you have to wait a year to see it. The last time I looked into it the CBS site was like $15 a month. I'm just not paying that much to watch one series. But there are alternative sites where you can watch tv series.

High Kreeper, Good to see you Brother.

It won't be difficult to find from the usual suspects.

**Strigoi** · 05-19-2017, 10:30 AM

That looks fantastic, I have to buy a 4k TV for this.

Not me. I have a 55" flat screen that just sits there. It was wasted money. The XBox has played more on it that cable. Hell, we don't even have cable. I can connect to my laptop and watch stuff if I want but I just pop in ear buds and watch the laptop.
