Guh this is my Jam! I am such a closeted Star Trek nerd it isn't even funny. Thanks for the info although I wish it was going to air on television instead of streaming on all access.

For me, no attempt at a Star Trek series has ever captured the magic of the original. I understand part of that is because I was a child and all that science fictiony stuff just blew my mind. But still, it seemed like each series progressively got away from the magic and wonder of childhood discovery.

I wonder what this will mean for those high dollar fan productions like "Axanar" and "Renegades"?

As to the show, I'll be interested to see how they approach it. I feel like the "planet of the week" approach will be too 80s/90s for current viewing tastes. TV/streaming shows seem to be moving towards the long arcs.

I hate long arcs. I like self-contained episodes. I barely remember what I had for breakfast let alone what happened last week, or the week before that, in the show.

ETA: I would add that long story arcs are the reason I stopped watching Agents of SHIELD and many other shows. Once you fall behind then try to watch a current show, you're confused -- new characters, characters you thought were gone are back, etc.
