Their best bet would be just giving it to Netflix, IMO.

 

I hope they swallow their pride and call Bryan Fuller, who cut his teeth working at the old shows and who I know often talked about making it with Angela Bassett as the captain. I don't trust the J.J. Abrams crew with it. I enjoyed the first new film and I have high hopes for the third, but I think the TV side needs a change. Sadly I doubt this series will be set in the old timeline from TOS/TNG/etc.

Alex Kurtzman is part of that Bad Robot crew, but he's probably just putting his name on it, as many producers do - build the show and stay hands-off. The actual day-to-day creatives are likely a whole other story. I don't know anything about SH, I don't watch that show.

 

I remember there was a rumor that Kurtzman was one of the few who did not want the villain in the last Trek film to be Khan again, so that's something.

A lot of the people involved in it ran like hell after the first season, which has always confused me. Maybe it was a FOX thing.

 

I should disclaim that I do know a lot of fans are fine with this era of the show, some of whom, like my father, are far bigger Trek fans than I am. I just don't really like Abrams' work. I do hope the show does well, streaming or whatever it may be.

I hate J.J. Abrams. But I loved the first of the new movies, which i thought was a generally solid use of his very limited talents to help an existing property. (The same reason I am happy he is one and done with Star Wars, which is also largely not his own work this time.)

 

I would sooner see someone really talented with a bold vision take over the original Trek universe, but I suspect it will be in the one from the new films. Either way I am glad to see someone taking a chance on the property again.
