It's going to be on CBS pay for streaming so it's not like anyone will see it.
I have to say that I'm about as big a Star Trek fan as they come. But Star Trek was Gene Roddenberry and he died during The Next Generation. Everything after that was running on fumes of just trying to copy the Star Trek format, but it all lacked Roddenberry's formula of vision. The 2nd TNG movie was pretty good, the rest sucked. Voyager has its moments but DS9 was the pits. I have ZERO interest in all the other spinoff crap they keep trying to create online. It is all about making money off the name. Gene was fastidious about the QUALITY of the show. To be sure, the only REAL "Star Trek" was the first season of TOS, and maybe the first half of season 2 when Coon left for John Meredyth Lucas.
When 'Discovery' came out a few years ago, I watched the Teaser on TV.
IT STANK. It was not Star Trek. I would never pay to see it on CBS All Access, even if it was good. I simply won't be manipulated like that. THE ORVILLE came out the same time and I grew to love it. Hilarious and creative. Much closer to Star Trek. I have both seasons recorded on HD. Now I understand they are moving that too over to Hulu for the 3rd season! Fox can go suck my ass. I will not be manipulated like that. There is nothing on this earth so important that I need to pay $45.00 a month just to watch one TV show that I used to watch for free. I hope the show bombs on Hulu. I already get 45 channels for free.
Stewart should stay home in retirement. He is too old for the roll now. And the very fact that his main spiel about the show revolves around politics tells me all I need to know. Save your money. I don't need to PAY to have people try to use soft psych-ops to fuck with my brain.
It's a sad statement that TV networks now consider television too poor to use any longer for their "premium broadcasts!" There could be legal challenges here. Can there ever be a better sign of the impending death of TV? All I know is that everyone has a TV, not every has or wants internet service hooked up to their TV and a pay per view streaming service. For one thing, streaming broadcasts always suck--- --- poor quality, hang ups, glitches and freezing.
Let the streaming industry be an OPTION, not a necessity. These shows should be broadcast on TV with the CHOICE to stream them, not be forced. I won't allow myself to be forced again to pay for television that already still has commercials in it as well. I saw this coming years ago and have about 3,000 movies and shows archived in HD, most for free. I love Star Trek but this crap is not it. It may have cool new special effects, but the quality is not there.
