They should just cancel it completely and stop slapping the real "Star
Trek" fans in the face with all this awful "Star Drek" crap. :-(

Star Trek: Discovery delayed until May 2017
-------------------------------------------
CBS All Access, the CBS Television Network¹s subscription
video on-demand and live streaming service, today announced
new premiere dates for its new original series Star Trek:
Discovery and the all-new edition of The Good Wife.

Previously scheduled for January 2017, the highly-anticipated
Star Trek: Discovery will now launch in May 2017. The new
premiere date is driven by the belief of the creative team
that this gives the show the appropriate time for delivery of
the highest quality, premium edition of the first new ³Star
Trek² TV series in over a decade.

³Bringing ŒStar Trek¹ back to television carries a
responsibility and mission: to connect fans and newcomers
alike to the series that has fed our imaginations since
childhood,² said executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Bryan
Fuller. ³We aim to dream big and deliver, and that means
making sure the demands of physical and post-production for a
show that takes place entirely in space, and the need to meet
an air date, don¹t result in compromised quality. Before
heading into production, we evaluated these realities with
our partners at CBS and they agreed: ŒStar Trek¹ deserves the
very best, and these extra few months will help us achieve a
vision we can all be proud of.²

³The series template and episodic scripts that Alex and Bryan
have delivered are incredibly vivid and compelling,² said
David Stapf, President, CBS Television Studios. ³They are
building a new, very ambitious ŒStar Trek¹ world for
television, and everyone involved supports their vision for
the best timing to bring to life what we all love on the
page.²

Following its May 2017 premiere on the CBS Television Network,
all episodes of Star Trek: Discovery will be available in the
U.S. exclusively on CBS All Access. Continuing the worldwide
appeal of the franchise, each episode of the series will be
available globally within 24 hours of its U.S. premiere,
presented on Netflix in 188 countries and through Bell Media
platforms in Canada.

Star Trek: Discovery is produced by CBS Television Studios in
association with Kurtzman¹s Secret Hideout, Fuller¹s Living
Dead Guy Productions and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex
Kurtzman, Bryan Fuller, Heather Kadin, Gretchen J. Berg,
Aaron Harberts, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth will serve as
executive producers.

<Snip>

Seems to me that a January release date would be mid-Winter'ish in U.S.
of A., so more likely to get a larger viewing audience than a Summer'ish release date of May.

But, then again, if they are taking the extra time to present a better
product ... YEAH!!
