With just five weeks before the premiere of Star Trek: Discovery, CBS has unveiled an all-new trailer with some never-before-seen footage of First Officer Michael Burnham, Captain Gabriel Lorca and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery.
Clocking in at exactly one-minute, the new trailer includes a TV-MA rating badge along with a voiceover by Soniqua Martin-Green as Burnham saying:
We strive toward this dream of peace, where all species can share common ground. Yet no dream will protect us… from you.
Check out the new trailer for Star Trek: Discovery below.

I’m really trying to keep an open-mind going into this, but when a ‘TV-MA’ rating shows up on screen, I get very concerned. Star Trek was never supposed to be for ‘mature audiences’.

You sure? Some scenes in ST TOS has quite a lot of mature content… I think its rather about the American puritanism which becoming more restrictive and being regulated with these ratings.

Star Trek can’t inspire kids to be astronauts and scientists if they can’t watch it. Talking about serious topics isn’t why shows get the TV-MA label.

“American puritanism”? I’m sorry, I’m confused? America might be light when it comes to sex, but we love our violence & murder! People have brought up that TNG also could of had an MA rating in this day and age, but how many realistically? Maybe 5 out of the whole series? I’m looking at this with open eyes. Too many fans are drinking the Kool-Aid when it comes to ST:D just because it’s new Trek. It’s ok to want to like the new series while at the same time questioning some of the decisions.

LIE! Can’t think of one scene in ST TOS which was mature content. in the 60’s no bad words or nudity ever made it past censors.

Oh yeah? HAHA former ST series had clearly explicit (partial nudity) sexual content, swearing (Picard saying “merde” in french meaning “shit”) and let’s not talk about violence whit is present in many episodes. There you go all your TV-MA but not present for the former series. As said, America’s mores have its puritanism being expanded and further enforced. Hypocrisy in all its beauty!

I get the feeling that it probably will end up being something like “Spartacus in Space”.

Stop fecking geo locking the bloody trailers will you, it’s getting really really old. Yes, Netflix have the deal outside America, but me being able to watch the CBS trailer, is not going to make me cancel my netflix subscription, move to the States, and sign up for CBS, so I’m not sure what the problem is.

This is our penance for not having to pay for CBS.

I enjoy the graphics upgrade… and get this is sort of in the ‘new cannon/reboot/remake’ but I’m hoping they aren’t just trying to completely copy the J.J. Abrams style just because the movies did good while taking a steaming crap on the Gene Roddenberry story-lines.
Also feels like CBS is really banking on this being something that draws in people to their online service…
