Star Trek is officially being rebooted for television on CBS, and there has been a new teaser-trailer released that looks really awesome. To put it mildly, they are going to go back to the original concept and "boldly go where no man has gone before."
Fans of the Star Trek TV shows and subsequent films have already immersed themselves quite heavily into all of the lore and technology associated with the franchise. Since the Star Trek series started way back in the mid-1960s, the show got quite a bit of attention but was nevertheless short-lived compared to the standards of today where good shows are lasting a minimum of five years.

But there was something else about the new Star Trek series that caught our eyes, which was a statement that accompanied the release of the teaser trailer. It appears as though CBS is about to use Star Trek as its pet project to promote and compete in the streaming media market.
