They've apparently remastered parts of DS9 in HD for an upcoming documentary.


A cruel tease.

I hadn't heard of this documentary, but I don't get why he doesn't give his backers a standard def download, and then an HD physical release (if they're getting that) when it's ready.

So in my Trek, uh, Trek, I've finished TOS and TAS.

I actually enjoyed TAS way more than I thought I would. It had huge limitations with the animation, which I fully expected because, ya know, Filmation, but I was surprised that the writing was as good as it was. I guess being an animated show with a shortened run time, I expected the stories to be dumbed down compared to TOS and it really wasn't.

Yeah they did a good job working within the limits of the three dollar animation budget. Fortunately Trek works well with a bunch of people talking at each other and recycled spaceship footage.
Having a bunch of the TOS writers working on it helped a lot too.

Between season webisodes were a big thing back in the 00s for action shows. They were universally awful and I don't think anyone ever gave a damn about them (even diehard fans of the shows), so I'm surprised to see CBS revive them for Star Trek.

Heroes



Lost

They need money. Most of the people unsubscribed from All Access the same month STD launched. Short Trek was filmed with no budget between the reshoots of the second season.
Rumors say that CBS wanted to sell these 4 webisodes for 35 million to Netflix and other streaming services outside the US but no one wanted it, even after they tried for 20 million.

those 2 episodes of real trek were fine, peeing and pornaddiction.
the first was a bit to much characterbuilding but the 2nd one was very good and did thinks other trek shows would not do in such a direct way-

First details on the Picard show. It sounds like it is picking up from the Unification arc in TNG which could be interesting if handled well.

What is the next chapter in the life of Jean-Luc Picard?

That's the question Star Trek diehards have been asking since August, when Patrick Stewart officially boarded an untitled CBS All Access series that will see him play Picard for the first time since 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis. Little is known about the plot of the show, which has been described as an exploration of the next chapter of Picard's life. Fans have speculated that it will find him serving as an ambassador, just as Leonard Nimoy's Spock did in the later years of his life.

Now, Trek captain Alex Kurtzman is pulling back the curtain on the upcoming project, revealing that a cataclysmic event depicted in J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek movie impacted Picard in a big way. In that film, written by Kurtzman and former producing partner Roberto Orci, it was revealed that Nimoy's Spock failed to save the Romulan homeworld Romulus from a supernova several years after the events of Nemesis.

Now, Kurtzman — as part of a Creative Space interview with The Hollywood Reporter (posting Wednesday) — is ready to reveal one massive clue about the premise of his CBS All Access Picard effort, due in late 2019: "Picard's life was radically altered by the dissolution of the Romulan Empire," Kurtzman tells THR.
