Published: Nov. 7, 2015, 7:50 p.m.

b'This week came the announcement we\\u2019ve been waiting for: A new \\u201cStar Trek\\u201d series is in the works. But with the announcement came a bunch of interesting details (it\\u2019s going to be exclusive to CBS\\u2019 streaming service, it\\u2019s going to be produced by one of the co-writers of the J.J. Abrams \\u201cStar Trek\\u201d movies) and a lack of specifics (they\\u2019re still interviewing writers and didn\\u2019t announce even the most basic of premises). Our panel of Star Trek fans analyzes the interesting decisions CBS has made so far, tries to imagine how a \\u201cStar Trek\\u201d series from 2017 might differ from its predecessors, and discusses the importance of creating a series that can keep the franchise alive by appealing to a new generation of fans.'
