Cut and pasted shamelessly from StarTrek.com:

"CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new Star Trek television series in January 2017."

"The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966."

"The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016."

    Yup. Even the SYFY network is rebooting some actual science fiction after doing nothing but chasing ghosts and bigfoot and vampires for a couple seasons. (all of them done badly - mostly the SYFY network has become unwatchable).

    The Dark Matter series http://www.syfy.com/darkmatter [syfy.com] was not all that bad for a first season show.

    Not going to call it Firefly-esq, but you can tell they were going for that.

    The SYFY network has gone to shit. Wrestling? Really? Put that crap on A&E along with the gay bounty hunter.

      FWIW, WWE Smackdown is moving to the USA Network sometime next year, IIRC.

        The question remains, how the hell did it end up on SYFY in the first place?

        Just because TV wrestling is all fake and make believe doesn't make it SIFI.

    I still don't get why Ghost Hunters isn't considered science fiction.
