New Trek show...

No doubt it would have been particularly demanding of viewer’s vision insurance afterwards.

It actually happened.

No wonder the story of jesus curing the blind continues to retain its appeal.

Yeah, it’s yet another Trek show on CBS that you’ll have to pay to watch, but I won’t be paying...

We’ll have invented transporters before I pay to watch another iteration of this franchise.

I just refuse to put any money in the pockets of CBS after the way they treated ST fans on the Star Trek forums.

I don't know this story (though I am unsurprised to hear CBS treated fans badly).  Please share.

Here's the sad thing. Stewart has talked about how moved he has been to hear how TNG was so inspiring and uplifting for so many things. They guy seems like a legit good person, one of the decent human beings of the world. I'm sure he also likes a regular paycheck, but I feel like he's going back because he felt useful there, like he was making a difference in peoples lives.

But since CBS is paywalling it, it's pointless. It won't get the viewership the old shows got. What a serious bummer.

Well, at least now there will be two reasons to binge watch CBS All Access.

It'll be creatively bankrupt like STD was.  Kurtzman and Goldsman are running it, and it looks like it'll have as many Exec Directors as cast members.

As an actor Stewart is brilliant as a creator (eg dircetor) he very occasionally rises to mediocre.

When was he brilliant as an actor?   Both the range and subtlety of his portrayals i’ve seen are Shatnerian.

Unlike brilliant actors, in whose portrayals you always see the character and not the actor, in his there is all actor and no character.

When Anthony Hopkins portray Nixon, Stephens, Adams or Hannibal, neither Hopkins nor any of those others are there except the particular character being portrayed.  And that particular character is all there.

With the film Nixon the historic Nixon was jarring to see in new footages appended at the end of the movie, because the historic Nixon looked physically nothing like Hopkin’s Nixon, so convincingly did Hopkins make you believe you’ve seen in his protrayal the real intimate Nixon.  

But when steward portrays anyone else I’ve seen, it takes effort to recall what is there is not suppose to be Steward channeling Picard.

Next thing you'll be telling me is that what follows isn't the greatest song ever:
