New trailer for the series. I am putting the YouTube link below as well but it may be regional. It might sound ridiculous to be so excited over a TV show, but TNG was formative for me. My life is completely miserable and hopeless and day to day I don't know if there will be another, and I really needed this. It's something to hang on for and if you get it you get it. The emotion of seeing this was profound and energizing. Hope it gives you the same feeling. Enjoy.

I have to post a comment even if it is somewhat vapid from a HN guidelines perspective.

This is the first time in my conscious life that Star Trek has produced new chronological content. Everything from ENT onwards has been prequels, reboots to non-canon series, side quests, re-imaginings and general not-newness-just-nu-kirk-'dramatically'-dying-next-to-nu-spock-but-not-really-made-you-look and similar shenanigans.

Finally, finally, finally, they have made what I've been asking for since my childhood - new Star Trek, set beyond the end of Nemesis in the main timeline with no nu-trek to be found.

I'm supremely excited, wary of being disappointed with my slivers of hope, and definitely going to create a CBS All Access subscription to see this. CBS - please keep the millennials at bay so the adults can work, and you will have (finally and I don't know why you took so long to arrive at this TV show idea) a goldmine.


I'm trying to figure out something substantive to add other than "WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Hells yeeahh!!!!" But the trekkie in me is not coming up with anything g else rn


That's mostly what my reaction was too :)

I did think there would be a lot more interest. I would have thought Trek fans were common here.
