New Star Trek Series Set After Undiscovered Country

As you know (if you read this blog regularly), CBS is bringing Star Trek back to television in a little less than a year.  CBS drew a lot of applause from Trek fans after their announcement, and then hit everybody with the news that the first episode would air on their broadcast network, but then the rest of the series would only be shown on CBS All-Access, so the only way to watch it is to sign up for their streaming service.  That dulled the excitement a little bit, but not that much.  It's also been reported that Bryan Fuller has been hired to as it's showrunner.  Joining him as executive producers are Alex Kurtzman, Nicholas Meyer, and Rod Roddenberry.  So now we know the men behind the scenes, but just what can we expect, and when will it take place?

Over at Birth.Movies.Death. they are reporting that the show will take place after Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country but before Star Trek: The Next Generation.  It will take place in the Original Series continuity, and not be apart of the Star Trek cinematic universe that was rebooted by JJ Abrams and changed the history of the show.  BMD is also reporting that the show will not be taking place on the U.S.S. Enterprise, rather a different ship that is part of the Federation.  One last thing that they reported as a rumor, because they could "second source" the story at the time that they were writing the article, is that although the series would take place after the Khitomer Conference which brought an end to the war between the Klingons and the Federation, Fuller has a plan in the works on how to still feature villainous Klingons in the series, something (which they point out) we haven't seen in decades.

Here's something that they posted in the article that wasn't part of it's original story, which was written by Devin Faraci:

"UPDATE! A trusted source has chimed in and told me that it looks like the show will be a seasonal anthology, which means the first season will be set post-Undiscovered Country. After that the entire Star Trek universe is potentially open. So those of you hoping for a post-Dominion War show... don't give up hope. That could come some day."

So what do you think?  Does this information make you excited to see the new series, or are you a little leery on what to expect?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
