New Star Trek series coming in 2017

We talked a little about it on the TV thread I think.

Pensioner Picard doesn't really sound too cool. Then again, Michael Chabon as a writer for the show immediately perked my interest.

I'm not particularly aware of his work, though I did enjoy Yiddish Policemen's Union back when that book came out.

Yep...a peek at the archives show that garbon tipped it off.

Hasn't done much film/tv work, but he worked on Spiderman 2 which is in my top 3 superhero movies.

Plus The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is a magnificent book.

But you've been out wandering the moors as of late, so no doubt distracted.

There are short Treks, 15 minutes mini shows available now.  Saw the first one.  Nice little episode centered on Tilly.

But... as far as character development goes, it feels empty.  I don't feel like Tilly is any different than she was before, I don't feel that it explains any kind of change she may have had during the run of the series either.

I'll still watch the next one in november though.

Webisodes are like so. They never feel they can do anything as they have to consider the fans who don't watch.
Dr who is about the only show I can think of that did something big with one. But even that wasn't strictly necessary, could have been explained off screen too.
