In Mirror, Mirror, the DS9 and Enterprise episodes that went to "the" mirror universe and TNG's Parallels it's not clear what (if anything) "caused" those universes. They may have been due to a time travel incident altering the course of events, they may have always been there as part of the multiverse or "created" from any of the many branch points where decisions were made differently in each "version" of the universe.
One fan theory has suggested that the mirror universe is the universe created from the "Edith Keeler" timeline created in the original series episode City on the Edge of Forever. The prime universe that meeting was peaceful (and as shown in First Contact) |

I seem to remember an episode where the meeting between Cochrane and the Vulcans ended violently and this led to the creation of the Mirror Universe.

Think it was going to be that Kirk created the mirror universe. Was a planned Enterprise series 5 episode.

I guess now we know why all the series and films went on there from 1 July. Did seem a big clue at that point.
Probably best UK match up - wonder if Sky even bid? Maybe there will be secondary network rights offered in the US and UK after a period of exclusivity on these formats? Is this being filmed in UHD does anyone know? |

Quote:
Netflix Global Television VP Sean Carey described the series as “one of the most iconic shows in television history,” adding that this new take “promises to continue the rich tradition of adventure and is sure to excite fans everywhere Netflix is available.”
The deal allows Netflix to stream the show in 188 territories under it’s ‘Netflix Original Series’ brand. That excluding US where it will air on CBS All Access, and Canada where Bell Media own the broadcast rights. The new Star Trek show is due to arrive in 2017, and will be available on Netflix UK less than 24hrs after the US. |

Hopefully it will continue the trend of other Netflix Originals by filming and streaming in 4K.

And with Netflix your show will get top billing, no being bumped mid season or shoved to the graveyard slot. This is a win for CBS and a win for customers.

I'm happy with that decision. I thought Sky would have gone for it, but I've no issues with Netflix.

They will stream it in whatever quality they get it in. Probably not 4K.

Anyway, whether it will be 4K or just plain old 1080p, it's still good news.

Yep, also very happy. Sky isn't an option for me due to their lack of fibre in my area.

I'm happy it's on Netflix but I'm surprised at how positive people on this thread have been about this news but I guess that shows how widespread Netflix is now!
It's also great that we get 24 hours after its available in America which is a common practice on Netflix with the American TV shows that they get the rights to them I agree the fact that Netflix had announced they had the rights to the rest of the Star Trek previous shows and films was a massive hint that this was going to happen! |

I just hope that it isn't a series set in the rebooted Star Trek movies timeline or era.

I am happy too, but wouldn't be if I didn't have Netflix of course.
I believe they were "in the running". This is not a "Netflix original". They have simply bought the programme in. They will stream it in whatever quality they get it in. Probably not 4K. |

It is dodgy marketing practice though, because it suggests Netflix made this series when, in fact, they didn't. It "bigs up" the Netflix brand.
It creates a false impression and (quite deliberately in my view) misleads the public. |

While also makes it more easy to show content that might not have been available widely before due a lack of a normal broadcaster showing it (for example I think The Killing was only shown on BBC4) Even the smallest amount of research will show you that some of the shows under the umbrella are not made by Netflix. |

No more or less then any other brand "tag lines".

So you think because it is intended to "big up" the brand, that makes it OK to deliberately create a false impression? All advertising should be truthful, honest, legal and decent. It shouldn't need a Philadelphia lawyer to pick out the truth from the implied falsehoods. How many average members of the public are in the habit of checking out things such as that? In my view to intentionally mislead is almost as bad as outright lying. |

Presumably they are using the term "Original" to mean "new" content not previously broadcast by anyone else in that region. As opposed to a lot of their other stuff which has been broadcast by multiple other sources long before it ended up on Netflix.

If they wanted to be perfectly honest, they could use terms like "Netflix Premiere" or "New to Netflix" or "Netflix Exclusive" where appropriate. Other channels use similar terminology.
They could say Netflix Exclusive but that could be inaccurate too if you consider that CBS have the rights in the US. 'Original' just sounds cooler and means the same thing, I reckon. I think it's just terminology and I don't think the word "Original" necessarily implies they made the show. I've always thought of them as a broadcast service not a maker of shows. In any case, what difference would it make to the potential customer's choices if they were to think that Netflix had made it? If they want to watch it they will be attracted to Netflix and if they don't they won't. It makes no difference who actually made the show to the decision whether to get Netflix to view it or not so, if it is a deliberate attempt to mislead I don't see what they would stand to gain by such a misconception

What has other brands doing similar things got to do with whether it's ethical or not? Others doing a wrong thing has never been a valid excuse for doing the same bad thing and making it worse.

In my view to intentionally mislead is almost as bad as outright lying. We have to be realistic with these sort of things and take them in the context of the real world and how branding and the market operates. Looking at all the content under the umbrella of Netflix Originals do I think all the content are made by Netflix? No I think it's pretty clear it's not if you look at the content both in type and amount. If you look at the brand as a whole I honestly think it's obvious what they class under this umbrella and what they are trying to achieve I don't think you need to be a lawyer to pick though branding and advertising to see the reality of what the truth is just use common sense and what the company is trying to achieve with the branding |
