[Professor Bear]

FINN-EE-GUN!

Hey, Finnegan would be of an age that he could be a junior officer on Discovery.  Sure and wouldn't that be a rare thing indeed, me brave boys?

FINN-EE-GUN!

Typical Oirishman.

Typical Oirishman.

That's our word, we've reclaimed it. Furriners can't use it.

I'm a furriner? How do you know this?

Foreign starts at Dun Laoghaire. And some parts of Leitrim are distinctly iffy.

"I only 'don't care' about them in the sense that I know they're all going to watch anyway."

Apparently he believes Trekkies will watch anything with the name "Trek" attached to it. Star Trek ENT proved the opposite.

Okay, dreddzilla, as you post many negative links about new show. And you still want watch it?

[Professor Bear]

It would be one thing if Isaacs meant online trolls or anti-diversity meninists, but he clearly attacks Trek fans as a body there.  Most viewers will be downloading this for free, so it kind of does matter if people are watching it and shitting all over it, as CBS desperately need people to throw down hard cash on CBS All Access to watch this.

It also occurred to me out of nowhere that CBS took their investor's money - investors who wanted something in the spirit of the older Trek shows - and used it to bankroll their new network while not delivering what they promised.  If nothing else, it's good to see Axanar managed to contribute something to the Trek mythos.

Author! Get that in a tweet, stat.

Jeremy Isaac's ok on fan outrage over the show.

I've only taken a passing interest in this so far, but just to clarify; is this a completely new Star Trek time-line?
It doesn't take place in the same 'universe' as the original Star Trek or the new movies?

After quick google;

the series will take place in the Prime (William Shatner) timeline as opposed to the Kelvin (Chris Pine) timeline to avoid conflict with future movies.

That's what I'd assumed, just unsure after reading a few pages of this thread.
