CBS is launching a new Star Trek series, Strange New Worlds, which will be a TOS prequel set prior to Kirk assuming command of the Enterprise. As in season 2 of Discovery, the new series will feature Anson Mount as Captain Pike, Rebecca Romjin as Number One, and Ethan Peck as Spock. Discovery has been polarizing for Star Trek fans with many fans criticizing the writing of both Discovery and Picard, saying it deviated from the defining characteristics of Star Trek. Despite the criticisms, Mount's portrayal of Pike in Discovery was generally received well. The story for the pilot will be developed by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet, the first two of which are executive producers of Discovery. Because filming of TV shows has generally been halted by COVID-19, it is not known when the series will film or premiere on CBS' streaming service.

Carrier-driven sociopaths are good at one thing only, and they excell at it: Keeping their job.

Jewish Nepotism. And it doesn't even have to involve the upper-echelons, go to a Jewish bar during the daytime. It will be Jews watching trash shows like Comedians in Cars or Modern Family and actually laughing at the jokes and heaping endless praise on the "genius producers."
Jewish producers have as much new material in movies and TV as I have new material here. The only difference is that my fans hold me to a standard rather than praising my most boring shitposts as being "fresh, genius works of art."
