I personally think its just bait to get you back next year.
I doubt if they will go anywhere with Pike and the Enterprise story.
Its too risky.
They're already not doing a very good job of staying with the original storylines.

They've already said Spock will not be in the show...and Spock is Pike's First Officer, is he not?

Regardless of the claims of positive reaction, I think the show is still struggling to find a fan base.
Many like me, are trying real hard to watch and get connected,
but there are so many unlikeable characters and too many nit picking moments.

And the constant need to share everyone's sexuality and homosexuality, is just uncomfortable.
I know that Kirk bedded his way across the Galaxy, but it wasn't as important to the storylines, as it is today in so many shows.

I've gotten past the weird Klingon alterations...sort of...
but I am still bothered by the look and style and technology,
which just doesn't match with Enterprise before it or the Original Series after.

Personally...the only character I could tolerate and get behind, is dead (Capt. Lorca).
The rest of the main characters/actors I really dislike.
So I am watching just for the "Star Trek" element...but I find I am not completely satisfied each episode.

If something else good comes along in that time slot (on another channel) I'm afraid I will be switching.
(Although, I'll probably still download the episodes...it'll kill me to miss something just in case! lol)

I'm so glad the Expanse is coming back!

Do you think they might reboot My Favorite Martian anytime soon?
