CBS Television Studios has just announced that it will be introducing a “totally new” Star Trek TV series in January of 2017, the first since Star Trek: Enterprise went off the air in 2005. This TV rebirth follows the two latest movies, and though the press release says nothing about when or where the new series will take place, it seems safe to say that the show will exist in the new continuity created by JJ Abrams’ 2009 Trek film.
a couple points:
1 – 2017? wtf guys.
2 – It’s going to be in the shitty as fuck JJ-Verse. wtf.
3 – 2017, seriously. 2 years from now.
“Alex Kurtzman will serve as executive producer for the new Star Trek TV series, that is said to NOT be related to the latest films.”

None of this sounds like a good idea.
Alex fucked up I2D
4. Place your bets when they gonna “bury it”.
IMO after the first season.
Finally! A Trek series that will be shittier than “Enterprise”. I can hardly wait.

I’m a big Nicholas Meyer fan. Not just for Star Trek, but for Time After Time and The Night That Panicked America. The recent Houdini thing was interesting too. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0583292/
