![]() ![]() ![]() Do you think your post has anything but trolling? Well you certainly are trying to prove it. Hopefully someone at CBS or whoever manages the franchise will realize that unless they manage to walk a fine line, they're going to end up spending a lot of money producing a show that doesn't build an audience. From what little I've heard about this new series it was going to be far too much on characters and not nearly enough on big-picture situations. Too much of one or the other and the audience shrugs and tunes in to something else. TV shows struggle to find the balance between character-interaction/development and the situations that the characters find themselves in. ![]() The problem is that if one attempts to change it to make it appeal to even more people then that special-something that built the fanbase in the first place is lost, and I have no doubt that more fans would be lost than would be found in the new format, at least for something that requires as much commitment as a weekly TV series. Granted, that something-greater isn't for everyone, as there are a lot of people that like the escapist space-opera stuff that don't like Star Trek, but that's OK, they've managed to create well over 500 hours of content and are arguably the most successful science fiction media franchise in history, so clearly there's enough audience for what Star Trek has offered to justify it. Star Trek usually offered something greater than that, even when using an episodic, rather than a serialized format. There's always been a lot of escapist space-opera. Also as a fan of the franchise, after what Abrams did to it I didn't bother watching any more Star Trek movies. ![]()
