Thats why I wish they would stop going backwards they have really fukked up continuity with this shyt remember enterprise they had the fukking borg on there a complete contradiction.
But that was the Borg from First Contact. They had been there since 2063 then got uncovered by an expedition. It didn't mess with any established continuity around the Borg.

Actually I doubt ds9 would have gotten canceled people love serialized tv now and it was syndicated.

then why are they more likely to be canned? The average individual doesn't have the time to emotionally invest into serialized shows that's why most of these networks do procedurals. If you are talking about digital or cable I agree

All I'm saying is serialized tv is more popular and ds9 wasn't on a network so I disagree.

I wish this had more hype. I want it to do well. But Star Trek has had it rough...

It can survive off little hype. Star Trek has never been a big hit outside of Next Gen for real. This looks good and I'm intrigued by some of the revelations. Only question is whether cbs access will get enough subs to justify it cause I'm sure this isn't a cheap show

Thats not exactly true ds9 was extremely successful for not having a network TOS thrived in syndication.

But it wasn't big. I mean big. Next gen was huge man. I was a kid during that time and it was a pop culture phenomenon I couldn't even escape on the playgrounds lol. DS9 was a hit yeah but it didn't have the pop cache next gen did

Sure TNG was the biggest series it spun off two other shows no arguments there lol but it wasn't the only hit.

Most definitely. Which is why I said the last big hit and if I didn't say that my bad. It's the biggest trek has ever been on tv. Trek can survive without being that big again. As long as it's bigger than enterprise
