Just watched the teaser, and as much as there wasn't much to see it felt so nice to see the logo and the Star Trek "theme"

Series 1 will be 13 episodes and will be one story across the whole season. http://ie.ign.com/articles/2016/06/2...pcoming-series Quote:
He revealed that the arc of the first season is written, "or arced out," with the first six episodes "entirely broken" in the writer's room. The episodes aren't one-offs; Fuller said the first season will have one story told over 13 episodes.

I think this is the way forward for a Trek show, however they need to make sure that each episode is fulfilling enough as not to bore the viewer. If they concern themselves only with an expensive and blockbuster season final with a mediocre build-up, they'll lose viewers, and fast.

On the basis of what? That it will have a prolonged, more in depth story and wont follow the episode of the week format?

Yes, I'd rather have a series long story
In fact all the series I've watched in the last few years have had this format........The 100, Supergirl, Defiance, Dark Matter, Continuum, Colony, Aliens, that one with the actress playing all the different roles, that one with the 3 warrant servers or whatever they were So........the only thing I need to know now is that the new Star Trek is on proper telly |

hmmm i'm a bit more on little-monsters side of the fence here.
don't get me wrong- my all time favourite TV show is 24. recently I've thoroughly enjoyed programmes like sons of anarchy, true detective, breaking bad and am quite liking supergirl at the moment. all r serialised and if you miss one episode you're basically f*cked. but for me there is something intrinsically different about star trek to most shows. the nature of our galaxy is that its a mysterious and vastly unexplored place which contains thousands of different civilisations and a whole host of mysterious, dangerous anomalies just all waiting to be encountered. I like the whole 'alien-of-the-week' thing personally. I think theres room for both episodic & serialisation BUT ultimately I feel the nature of star trek is slightly more geared towards episodic and one-off episodes. personally I think Deep Space Nine got the right balance! don't get me wrong though I will still certainly be watching. I think little monster is going a little OTT saying "i'm out". |

Being that few details have been released thus far, it's possible that it will be an episode arc with the series arc ultimately leading onto something; similar in the way DS9 handled the Dominion War. The last two seasons were mostly about the war, but most of the episodes were still their own thing, their own story.
I'd still like to know when and where it's being set. There was an interview (of sorts) that I read the other day, and the TMP rumours were seemingly shot down, as were the anthology rumours. |

TMP rumours? do u mean that its set between kirk and picards era?
personally I wanted something set post-voyager but more and more i'm coming round to this idea. I love TOS and TNG so much- theres an aweful lot of scope for a series set in between these two. hell we cud even have a young picard in it. given the fact that picard is meant to be 60 at the onset of TNG

DS9 got the balance right for me.
quite serialised but still plenty of one-off episodes. |

As far as I'm aware, those rumours have all been shot down. I'm not too sure how far into the future I'd like the show to be set myself. This new show, like the JJ films did (even though they were disliked by some) needs to be it's own thing. It's all very well the show producers wanting to stick with an existing timeline (Roddenberry's) but it would (I think) have benefited them so much more if they just picked a stardate/era and rebooted again for a tv audience. If they're following a timeline, they're limiting what they can do. They lose out on creativity a little. Think JJ and the Klingons; they looked badass (I don't care about what anyone else says) the Klingons of this new show though, they'll have to look Klingon in the traditional sense.A new timeline, in (another) alternate universe would have been the way to go I think. Set up a new timeline with a new ship, new crew, and new possibilities. One thing JJ got right is that he opened Trek up to new audiences (whilst maybe losing a few of the existing ones) but I think his ends justified the means. Trek (Roddenberry's vision) was too perfect. ST: Enterprise for all it's alleged faults had the tone right. If they want this new show to be a success, they need to cater to a wider audience. Trying to draw in old Trek fans isn't going to cut it I don't think, and this generation isn't likely to take to old style Trek. |

I believe actual dates for events in the Star Trek timeline were not worked out till long after the series was made. |

Interesting. Picard is supposed to be 60 in Encounter at Farpoint (I had to check).

Surely, the recent movies have already rewritten the time line? Vulcan has been destroyed, events for Kirk and co. have gone very differently, thus making everything from TOS onwards a timeline that no longer exists!

With this new series being streamed (in the US at least) they were always going to go down the long story arc route. CBS will have requested it, as a way to keep people hooked.
In the past, i.e TNG time, the studio were far more interested in them churning out 'monster-of-the-week' stories because they could then repeat the show in any order. These days it's all about binge watching a show from start to finish!

My point is, for the purpose of a new Trek show, they should either have placed it in the new universe created by the new films, or they should have started a second reboot. |
