I knew it! ****ing Les Moonves had ulterior motives for re-launching Star Trek and because of that, like SNR, I have extremely low expectations.

We're looking to do original content on All Access and build up that platform. Netflix is our friend a competitor. They compete with [CBS Corp.'s] Showtime. All Access will put out original content and knowing the loyalty of Star Trek fans, this will boost it… There's about a billion channels out there and because of Star Trek, people will know what All Access is about."
All the series have done well in terms of streaming. Added in to that, Star Trek is a huge international franchise. Our international distribution guy is going crazy; he can't wait to get out to the marketplace and sell that. Right away, we're more than halfway home on the cost of the show from international alone. The risk is small in seeing the track record. We think it'll be great and bring in a lot more subscribers. We're really excited about it. [Star Trek 2017 is a] world-class effort that will make all Star Trek fans proud.
