For twenty years all I've wanted is a true third generation of Star Trek and they keep avoiding actually taking the series forward. Nothing about this appeals to me, the visuals feel way off from Star Trek, especially if it is supposed to take place so close to TOS. I may catch it sometime, but no way paying CBS to watch it.

Well on the plus side if this is reasonably successful that "third gen" Trek may finally happen. 

Maybe they chose this time period in their pitches because they weren't sure they'd get a huge enough budget or they likely wanted to piggyback some of the success of the JJ-verse. 

Here's the dillema. If I support this and it does well, I'd expect more of the same.  If I don't I expect Star Trek to go into hiding from television for a decade.  

On budget this show looks way higher budget in terms of effects and sets.  I read they had roughly $6 million per episode.  I don't watch Star Trek for budget though, I watch it for ideas, stories, and characters.  I'll take a profound story on a campy set over a generic story on an expensive set.
