[Star Trek: Discovery] New Star Trek Series 2017

Dax had a lesbian relationship on an episode of Deep Space 9, from one of her past hosts.

there's a TNG episode called the outcast  where will riker falls in love with a transgender person. that person comes from a planet where people are born with no gender, and are supposed to live that way, so despite the individual appearing male- they feel more female (something they are not supposed to feel according to their planet and cultures customs)

yeh Star Trek is tricky cos it has equality in its roots but the shows roots are sci fi tv serial in the 1960s. by the 90s onwards, equality and diversity was becoming tad more commonplace on tv and it's now existing in an environment where there are less barriers to break without it nec feeling forcefully shoehorned in. it really depends on how they handle whatever it is they decide to do.

I kind of doubt it'll be any focal point of the show anyway.

Bryan Fuller is out as show runner - https://www.google.com/amp/www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-hc-bryan-fuller-star-trek-showrunner-20161026-story,amp.html?client=safari

Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Sasha on The Walking Dead has been cast as Number One, the main character.  Looks like Sasha might not survive Season 7.

Premiere date has been delayed indefinitely.

Delayed indefinitely? So, they're considering cancelling it, basically. Good job fucking things up CBS.

Unless they fix things and get off their streaming only subscription service bullshit, then good job CBS.

I'm thinking Fall 2017, or possibly 2018

:facepalm;

this doesnt look good..

This video is not available.

Video made me meh so hard. Fucking terrible network promo is the worst.

I bet they'll put Scott Bakula in the pilot as Admiral Archer, following the Trek tradition of a guest star in the first episode.

pushed back again

Setting the 'cover/under' at 1 June 2020.

Return II Tatooine

lol wut is that image. It's literally just two people in weak ass costumes in front of a green screen. Hype deflating exponentially.

check out the trailer

Jesus another Talking Dead style 'aftershow'

Jesus that JJ lens-flare

Completely on board

It's hard to get hyped about this. I haven't liked a Star Trek series since DS9.

Looks like they're gonna finally tackle what made the Klingons mutate, or whatever happened. Hype

This looks weak, badly acted, and convoluted. Convoluted I can deal with because Star Trek, but the rest... and as someone said lol at the lens flare. This is gonna be bad, I'm calling it now.

I think it looks sweet

More pictures released today:

And a poster... I see many Photoshop opportunities with this one
