I had every action figure, so it was all aboutStar Trekfor me.
It is without exaggeration a dream come true to be crafting a brand new iteration ofStar Trek.
Guys, Bryan Fuller (as with all of his shows) is taking this responsibility very,veryseriously.
He has a history of creating awesome female characters.
I would love to do that version of the show and but thats in the future to be told.
He is a master at mixing tones.
(He pulls this off by grounding absurd happenings with consistent characterization.)
It will be good to have wonder and optimism back.
He embraces fandom fanboys and fangirls alike.
Fuller isnt professionally unfamiliar with fandom.
For example: Its cool to geek out about the design of a spaceship.
Itsnotcool to ship Spock and Kirk together.
Check out this excerpt from the description… Fuller treats his shows fanbases with respect, and people are noticing.
He casts the best actors.
These are only a few of the many talented actors Fuller has managed to attract to his work.
Star Trekhas a history of luring prestigious actors to its shows i.e.
Patrick Stewart forThe Next Generation.Who might Bryan Fuller be able to land?
He has a talent for character-driven, long-form storytelling.
It was much more character-based.
This is good news for fans of character-driven, more serialized science fiction (aka the best kind).
But Fuller has always been a showrunner ahead of his time.
Fuller hasnt always had the best luck in getting lots of people to watch his shows.
Partially, perhaps, because his shows are so hard to describe or compare.
But the newStar Trekseries may be the exception.
It already has a built-in fanbase and an interesting new form of access.
Though the premiere will air on CBS, the following episodes will be available via video-on-demand and digital platforms.
Has Fuller finally arrived at the medium that best suits his unique brand of storytelling?
He is adept at adaptation.
I understand the sentimentality.
And I understand, Oh, its familiar, but theyre doing something different.
Personally, I love the world ofStar Trekand I trust the work of Bryan Fuller.
