CBS Chief Says Star Trek Remains A Priority For Paramount, Answers Why ‘Legacy’ Has Not Been Greenlit
Some interesting quotes herein.
@billmason @startrek I'm skeptical. I fear they ruined trek with discovery. By showing the universe nearly a millennium in the future, now any new stories they will be "filling in the timeline" where we already know at some level how it all works out. The dramatic tension is gone.
Or, stories set after any time we haven't already seen will be so far into future as to be disconnected from what came before.
Makes me sad. Abrams damaged Trek. Kurtzman may have killed it.

I’m just gonna say it: Is anyone else not really interested in a show about Starfleet Academy? I’ll give it a shot, and it could be phenomenal, in which case I will enjoy watching it. But on the whole, that’s just not a setting that interests me in the slightest. I want Legacy.

I’d be interested if it wasn’t set in the Discovery timeline.

I didn’t even know that was the case. I’m now less interested than before.

I’m okay with it. My problem with Disco is how high stakes breathless it is all the time, visiting the timeline with a lower stakes Academy lens could be cool. Being far future means it won’t be a TOS/TNG cameo fest (SNW’s biggest flaw) and I wouldn’t mind being able to do some actual character development on Tilly / other Disco crew if they weren’t just constantly in mortal danger.
Of course it’ll probably end up being flashy bullshit again, but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.

What timeline do you want it set in?

I’m not but I also was not interested in a show about a space station and that turned out to be my absolute favorite so I will judge it on its own merits.

They will drag in all of Tilly’s friends and STD storylines… in the 31st century???
Come on… Starfleet Academy is going to suck.

@Reverendender @startrek "I'll give it a shot" is basically where I am going into any new Trek project. We'll see what it is.
