archer Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Unfortunately, the new series is only for those who've purchased CBS All Access. The name of the series is Star Trek: Lower Decks and is intended to be a comedy about the less important people on a completely unimportant starship and the various things which those people do. But on the bright side, it's being written by someone who is an obsessive fan of the various TV series so I would presume that he would know all the tropes which could be lampooned. I would assume from the announcement that it is being written during TNG time period but nothing specifically states that. http://www.startrek.com/article/new-trek-animated-series-announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well Star Trek animated series was actually quite good although the animation was horrible. Too bad they aren't going with a more serious idea here, sounds more like they want to do Archer in space rather than something I want to watch.

Scott Ruggels Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 They are adding Picard to the new live action season of Trek on All Access, so it can't be all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Picard and his walker can tour Federation space selling reverse mortgages to gullible old people. Christopher R Taylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of Space Janitors, a Geek & Sundry show about the less important people on the Star Wars Death Star. Which was a hoot, at least IMO. I particularly liked the episode where they found Luke's hand and lightsaber at the bottom of the giant shaft, and the one where they face alternate dimensional versions of themselves. ("Everybody knows the Sideburns dimension is the evil dimension, not the Goatee.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 CBS Access has made Murphy Brown the number one show of pets whose owners have died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
