  1. I have so much to say on this...
    First what type of insane deal did they give Abrams when they signed him for the 09 reboot? How did it come to be that almost 10 years later the creation of a new show required the approval of Abrams/Bad Robot? It would be like if Nolan owned a piece of Batman after doing batman begins. When, if ever, does Abrams attachment to the franchise end?
    Then there's the issue of where the show is 'airing': I couldn't imagine anything worse than a new premium streaming service, who do they expect to subscribe? If they're relying on old fans why are they giving the series over to people the fans universally dislike? On top of everything as long as Bittorrent exists CBS won't see a dime from me. Why do executives think Trek is the perfect thing to launch a network (phase 2, voyager)
    I predict that if the show launches on this new CBS streaming service, there will not be a season 2. (implications of this show failing would practically end the franchise)

  2. Time will tell, though keep in mind this is not a Bad Robot production. It's Kurtzman's production company. Not sure if that's better or worse!
