Star Trek Discovery

This weekend at Comic-Con Star Trek fans saw the first clip for the new CBS series Discovery.  The 13-part series is expected to premiere next January. 

It is an interesting teaser given the hidden USS Discovery and accompanying war-like music. Why is the ship in hiding? It is not clear and CBS is remaining quiet.

With a new Star Trek movie appearing last week, fans should be happy everywhere and particularly at Comic-Con. Given the multitude of movies and television iterations, no one can question Gene Roddenberry spoke for more than one generation. 

Star Trek Returns in Many Forms

If you are awaiting the new Star Trek series on CBS, you may enjoy this new clip setting the stage for the series' release in 2017.  It does not reveal any characters or plot lines, but it does promise new crews, new villains, new heroes, and new worlds.  What else can you ask for?

Of course, you can ask for more information on the next Star Trek film, Star Trek Beyond, and this trailer provides that as well.  As always, the scenes will keep you on the edge of your seat.  Better yet, you will only need to wait until July 22 for the film. 

TV: Houston, We Have A Growing Problem

If you are looking for something different to take your mind off of NASA's funding woes, you might enjoy an evening of television entertainment from CBS.  Tonight you can watch the premiere of the new series produced by Steven Spielberg titled Extant, where Halle Berry plays a returning astronaut from a solo space station mission.  But she has a secret, and its not the fact that she has a robotic son.  That's the normal part.  The problem is that she is also mysteriously pregnant.  Here is a trailer if you want to see more.  It is not Gravity, but we have to take what we can get in this summer season.
