First and foremost, the biggest news is that this will not
only be a CBS online only show but also a Netflix exclusive. I am thrilled
about this, as I thought I would have to get another online streaming tv
subscription. Hooray for Netflix! Next, the show will be coming out in January
of 2017. That is only 5 months away
people!! It seems quite unbelievable
that at this point in history we will have two major Star Trek entries within
months of each other. Not to mention
having so much sci-fi in general with the constant release of Star Wars and now
even Guardians of the Galaxy into the mix!
Also, our next commander in the Star Trek World will not be
a commander at all. Instead they will be
a Lieutenant General. This may ruffle
some feathers, however, if I would say there was any pattern in modern Star Trek
is that they are definitely trying to change things up a bit between each
generation.
Also our Lieutenant General will be a woman! How cool is that? I have 2 daughters and a wife that will be
thrilled with this news. My daughters
are not the biggest fans of sci-fi.
However, when you put a female in the lead, their ears perk up pretty
quickly! Not to mention the director of
the show said the cast will be more diverse than ever with seven main crew members
(as usual for Star Trek). We also know
that the seven will be a mix of regular average joe humans, aliens, and an LGBT
crew member (perhaps following in the footsteps of the latest feature film
entry. Interesting.
In addition to all of this, we also now know that the
legendary sci-fi series will be rebooted 10 years before the original series in
the Star Trek timeline. There will be 12
total episodes, and they will both be episodic and have a single storyline that
crosses all 12 episodes. All in all, I
would say that this new run that is following one of the most action packed sci-fi
movies ever (Star Trek Beyond) is turning out to be quite the show. We can only hope the best for the team!
