‘Star Trek’: Nickelodeon Near Deal For Kids Animated Series

[pilight]

Penned by the Hageman brothers, the animated series is targeted at younger audiences. Because of that, it would be the first new Star Trek project outside of CBS All Access, which has an adult focus.

I was never really into Nickelodeon as a kid.

Avatar: The Last Airbender was pretty good. But for some reason I'm not having much hope for this one - not with the direction most cartoons have been taking of late. The fact they're saying that they're specifically targeting it at "younger audiences" is a bit of a red flag for me, too. I'm halfway expecting something along the lines of Steven Universe or Rick and Morty.

''Younger audience'' tends to be code for ''don't criticise how crap it is, its for kids''.

Yeah as an adult watching it you kinda have to throw it at the wall and see what sticks.

Yep, exactly what I was on to.

Well what's the big deal?

[Admiral X]

That it's probably going to suck and that the main "defense" of it is going to be "it's for kids, so it doesn't matter if it sucks."

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Or in other words, it's not really meant for you?

And here we have the microcosm of exactly how this show is going to go over with fans...
