I was curious about this, then I started seeing reviews that said it's much less fun spoof than the commercials would have you believe. I'm all for a tv version of Galaxy Quest. Not so much a semi-serious knock-off of Star Trek.

So stupid on Fox's part to put this against NBC Sunday Night Football

I am dvring it.
Not sure if it will be appropriate for my smart mouthed 9 year old. So I want to watch it first.

Don't need more phone calls about how he answers questions..

What do you want Benny?
A girl in a short skirt and a long jacket.

What did you do this weekend?
Watched the Aggies beat the hell outta the Mizzou tigers.

Did you throw something at those girls?
We are not the boys you are looking for (in his best Alec Guinness impersonation)

The scientist from Epsilon 2 also said played Julian Bashir's father on DS9. Not to mention that Seth MacFarlane was on two episodes of Enterprise.

Seems like this is going to be the best Star Trek series since DS9 for me.

I think (I'm sure) I have shared this on here before, but I got day drunk with her once and I don't think I ever got my heart back.

She used hearts to converse with Hell in Supernatural, looks like we know where she got it.

Wait, is this a legit Star Trek show? I thought it was a parody (based on MacFarlane and the previews).

I didn't think it was, but I can't really tell what it is. And based on the critics, I'm not the only one.

I haven't read any of the critic reviews, I've generally decided not to these days.

It'll end up being more of a Star Trek show than Discovery will be

Seth McFarlane, the creator of family guy, American dad, etc, is doing a live action spaceship show on fox called the Orville.

CBS is doing a new star trek series set between kirk and picard chronologocally and it is available only on cbs' app, "cbs direct" or somesort.

Aha...

Thanks!

Love star trek but don't think I'll get the CBS app just for that. It's another subscription app like Netflix. I have to be careful or I'll be paying hundred of dollars/month on standalone apps.

Some review called it Star a trek fanfic.

Thought it was OK despite being a bit schizophrenic about satire vs not satire. Will watch again.

But then.. I made it through the whole season of Brain Dead.

The tone is weird. It's not a straight up parody, but some of the characters are caricatures. It wasn't as much ha-ha funny as awkward like The Office. The effects were great for a TV show. I'll probably give it a few more weeks, but I dont know what to think about it now

I actually enjoyed it....seemed like they were going for a futuristic reality where people in the future are still screw ups as opposed to the ST world where they are all robots and try for perfection. They goof off at times, they crack jokes on the bridge when the captain is out particularly, they have weird quirks and needs, some of them are prejudiced against other aliens or even humans, they BS and brag about stuff and make weird holodeck fantasies (to network standards). These people are also on a mid level ship so not the best of the best.

I'll stick with it a while for sure.

Imagine Star Trek was the best of the best from the best fleet in the world.

This show is about the average joes that work at the middling office down the street.

I'll keep watching. It's not bad, and ditto on how impressive the effects were for a TV show. Hopefully, it will hit its stride and deliver more laughs.
