They already did an insane female captain who terrorized her crew and put them in dangerous yet avoidable situations.

That was Voyager.

Ten bucks says they try to kill the old “No Muslims in Star Trek” joke this time out. They came close with DS9.

Roddenberry created "StarTrek" as his view of a utopian future, lest we forget TOS was as "PC" as it could be to get on the air in the 60s.

The constant thirsting for endless Star Wars, Star Trek, Spiderman, Superman, Batman, etc. product rehashing the same tired story lines over and over again is perplexing to me (looks Harry Potter is following the same trend, as if 8 movies weren’t enough).

I’m 2 seasons into the Breaking Bad prequel and have had enough. I will admit the Bates Motel remake was awesome, 50 years later, although it followed the same basic storyline.

Star Trek was always pseudo-Communist in its vision of the future. Star Wars and BSG were much more realistic in their take on future society.

Show was due January 2017. Then summer, 2017. Now -- who knows? The original show runner quit and show has been turned-over to others. Casting reportedly still incomplete.Like other Trek fans I am still unsure why "Enterprise" was hurriedly canceled after four seasons.

I'm not unsure at all!
I looked forward to it after it was announced and within the first few episodes the PC imbecile "Captain" was forced to deliver, by the queer PC writers, a diatribe about how "Space Pirates" should not be hunted down and killed mercilessly like rabid dogs because they might be 'misunderstood,' or be deprived by societies in the universe of a means to earn a living through honest work...

I switched channels and never went back ---apparently 4 years ahead of the curve!

The idea that this will be a show for all nationalities and sexual choices seems doomed to me.

For the original series, the muckety-mucks said that either the chick (Number One) or the Martian (Spock) had to go. They were right.

All shows with Scott Bakula are doomed to premature cancellation. If Max and Leo had cast Bakula as Hitler, they'd have retired rich.

On Star Trek: Enterprise they kept taking their clothes off and it was off putting. They had near everyone either naked or striped down to their underwear during the series. They had one guy (Tripp) running around in his underwear for most of one episode.

Oh and shoot first or the series will be over real quick.

Also the new Klingons should be named Clingons as they do not look like Klingons but maybe their distant 2nd or 3rd cousins.

“Star Trek: Discovery trailer (looks like PC run amok)”

There was maybe one white guy in the whole darn trailer.

Voyager went all in on the PC stuff. Woman captain, space american indian first officer, black vulcan, asian navigator, hispanic female klingon, and just one white guy who was, of course, a bad seed.

Yup, they went all in. But they forgot the gay character so they got no credit. This time they won't make that mistake. Lots of gay moments, you can count on it.

I gave Trek allowances until the JJ Abrams reboot. That did it for me and I no longer care what they come up with anymore.

White males (whites in general) regulated to the back of the bus and lesser roles.

Swing and a miss. Next.

No doubt they’ll throw in one “historical” reference to the failed presidency of President Trump for good measure.

Bookmarking to view trailer later. Wondering how overtly homosexual the crew member could be?
