  1. I'm curious about the Star Trek thing as well. I will say, if it's done properly, I WOULD join CBS All Access just to watch it.

  2. I wouldn't be *completely* shocked if the CBS All Access thing is just out there as a feeler to gauge reaction. The response I've seen has been overwhelmingly negative. Perhaps they're hoping for fans to campaign to get it on "real" TV, earning them some free publicity.
