Hopefully this will be a look forward beyond Voyager rather than going back again..
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with going for an alternate timeline and a modern take on starship design. As long as they don't turn Star Trek into an action franchise, I'm okay with it.

I, for one, am really looking forward to Axanar as much or even more than these official series.
Any word on the setting and how the alternate timeline reset of the of 2009 movie fits into the cannon? It seems like there are couple possibilities. 1) They act like the reset in the 2009 movie didn't happen, and the new show is just set sometime after TNG/DS9/Voyager, with the same continuity. 2) Everything is reset and we get a new show set sometime after the reset. I guess there is this: >The new television serie…
I say they open up another timeline. Earth explodes and Vulcan survives.
Although the series is aimed more at the US than the rest of the world, What if they decided to tackle the current migration issues? Those will only become bigger in the future as climate change will provoke more mass migrations.
Aside from being contemporary, the topic is a great source of material for dramatic stories too.
EDIT: Could tie in neatly to the Vulcan planet being destroyed in the new timeline.
While we're here, let's also acknowledge some of the fan-funded efforts that have been keeping the spirit alive: http://www.startrekaxanar.com/ http://startrekrenegades.com/ I, for one, am really looking forward to Axanar as much or even more than these official series.

Unless they put it in the alternate timeline, which it doesn't sound like they will given this quote: >The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016. ...they'd have to some serious retconning to place it anywhere before Voyager. Too much existing canon to take into account when writing the scripts.
It could be that they need to be clear that they aren't associated with the next film. Different characters, etc.
> will also be distributed concurrently for television
So, is it on TV or not?
I have always been interested in watching Star Trek, having watched some of Deep Space Nine with my dad and thinking it was okay when I was really young in addition to enjoying the new movies. I figure now is a good time seeing as this is coming out in a little over a year. Any suggestions as to what order I should watch it in or if I should avoid any of the series?
Dive in, have fun, my personal suggestion is any episode that deals with time travel or the mischievous life form called Q. You can't go wrong there.
