Worse than Beyond.
I sense failure.
shareI concur.

Probably, same people made it :\ lol
shareI thought Beyond was good, and the people who made Beyond are NOT making Discovery. On the other hand, the people who gave us Into Darkness ARE working on Discovery (namely, Alex Kurtzman, who decided to write a white british guy as "Khan"). Not a good sign, IMO.
shareAlex Kurtzman, who screwed up "Trek" in two movies is on this project. So, no, Abrams' idiots are working on this show.
shareI never saw Beyond, and I don't at all plan on seeing this. With anything out these days, I'm more of a Star Trek Continues kind of guy. Too bad CBS won't give them the greenlight and make some money.
shareCBS fought like hell to stop what would have been a great fan production like Axanar so we could get bad "canon" crap like this.
shareSorry, but this can't be worse than Beyond. That movie was "beyond" horrible.
shareI have hated all the new, and most of the old Star Trek movies, and I am not expect much from this, so 'fraid I have to agree.
shareWow! That's saying something! "Beyond" was one of the most inert things I've ever seen.
"Discovery" clearly shows the signs of having a dozen cooks in the kitchen. Having hack screenwriters like Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman clearly has a very bad effect.
And, the "involvement" of Meyer and Gene Roddenberry, Jr. are clearly in name only. That was just to lure us in to thinking that there would actually be some Trek in this "Trek."

The really bad effect is that not only are they involved in the show, they seem to have creative control over it, even if they're not the "showrunners" on paper.

Sadly I agree. Meyer gave me some hope they could do some interesting things on Discovery. I remember them claiming he was a big part of the writing staff and "writing the second episode". Now we're half a season in, and I haven't seen his name on a single story credit, let alone teleplay. Rod Roddenberry is also clearly only in the credits because of his last name. His "involvement" probably consists of showing up at the wrap party, shaking everyone's hand and saying "Great job people! I've heard some good stuff about this show"
I was actually surprised that this show was not produced by J.J.'s "Bad Reboot". Feels just as bad.
