Eh, it feels weird. How does a lot of [profanity] on Trek? Not so great. Are there moments where it merits it that we&#8217;re trying to push here and there? I would say we&#8217;re trying to push more by having the type of complicated messed-up characters who aren&#8217;t necessarily embraced on broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying we&#8217;re not doing some violent things or doing a tiny bit of language. But what&#8217;s important to the creative team is the legacy of the show \u2014 which is passed down from mother to daughter, from father to son, from brother to brother. We want to make sure we&#8217;re not creating a show that fans can&#8217;t share with their families. You have to honor what the franchise is. I would say we&#8217;re not going much beyond hard PG-13.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the benefits to going to a streaming service instead of airing Star Trek:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46443,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8677],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-star-trek-discovery"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817-150x150.gif",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/HarbertsStarTrekDiscoveryStock072817.gif",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-discovery\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: Discovery<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: Discovery","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46442"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46444,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46442\/revisions\/46444"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
