Re: [TV orNotTV] New Star Trek show... with a twist

Tying this exclusively to CBS All Access (without allowing for some form of CableCo login, like the other broadcast networks) means this show is doomed to fail domestically, since the only viewers will be finding the show via extra-legal means. Nothing on CBSAA is worth paying for. On Monday,

Re: [TV orNotTV] New Star Trek show... with a twist

I've never cared for having either of the Transformers twins attached to Trek, and am highly skeptical that this can make the announced premiere date, given how dates for the Abrams-era films frequently slipped. I mean, it seems to be a stretch that a legacy show can be developed, cast, shot,

Re: [TV orNotTV] New Star Trek show... with a twist

"Star Trek Continues" and "Star Trek Renegades" are two web-based Trek fan-fiction with preexisting sets and full production teams standing by. Both series are deeply rooted with crew from the Paramount Trek shows. If the CBSAA Trek series is based in the so-called TOS era, they could conceivably

Re: [TV orNotTV] New Star Trek show... with a twist

While I'm sure they have the right to do so, I don't think this show will take place in the TOS era. If I'm a betting man, I'd say this show takes place after the events of the last original TNG adventure "Nemesis". That allows them to have their own bit of patch to play with in the Trek Prime

Re: [TV orNotTV] NY Post on what a frickin' klutz Fallon is

The Post is about as into journalism as TMZ, so I don't believe anything printed without three independent sources verifying it. I'd be more inclined to believe Fallon is a pothead given his inability to stop giggling at himself, but whatever. On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 11:21 AM, 'David Bruggeman'

Re: [TV orNotTV] NY Post on what a frickin' klutz Fallon is

I guess I'd give this reasoning more credit if he was getting injured on the regular during his time with SNL and/or at Late Night.  I mean, for all the talk, his Tonight Show isn't terribly different from his Late Night, though I think the games are less messy. And the Post was thinking the

Re: [TV orNotTV] New Star Trek show... with a twist

Heaven forfend a studio take advantage of existing production talent... While I understand that the proposed new program won't be linked to the movies, with Kurtzman's involvement, I kind of expect this to be in the same timeline established by the Abrams films.  But that's just a guess on my

Of the four errors noted, one would've outright nullified the run: that the replay official didn't overturn a ruling that one of the Miami runners was down before lateraling. On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 11:18 AM Bob Jersey wrote: > > That multi-lateral play at the end by

Well given there's no consistency on whether UK viewers get those unofficial yardage lines overlaid by the network, who knows. We usually do, but occasionally, seemingly with CBS broadcasts, we don't. Who knows why...? On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 5:09 PM, Joe Hass wrote: > My
