their take on time travel was really a nice spin on an old trope. specifically the second time they do it and the undercurrent is that Star Wars is what happens if Star Trek doesn't get it right.
never sure if i want this show to take itself more or less seriously. fan.
- I know what you mean about taking itself more seriously but think they have got it right. Some of the subjects they tackle is done so well.thumb_screws

Just finished season 2. It's such a good show. Bortus has completely stolen it. The smoking episode and the scene where Bortus and Klyden are dancing in the in the hoolgram disco had me in tears.

He wanted to direct a Star Trek movie. He kept getting shot down, so we have this and Star Trek has JJ. I think its a better Stay Trek than our current Star Trek.
- Yup.Continuity
- Yeah feel more Star trek than Ddiscoverythumb_screws

I've been really digging it. Has a great balance of fart jokes, social commentary and soap. It's definitely not what i was expecting, thought it would be parody but its much more than that.
- Nah. Seth MacFarlane is such a ST:TNG fanboy, he wants a homage, not a parody.Continuity
- Continuity0
l find it surprising how solid (and accessible) it feels after just a few episodes. And it's absolutely clear MacFarlane dearly loves the source inspiration.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if it eventually moves to straight drama with lighter moments, instead of trying to be mostly a comedy.

Brannon Braga must have liked it too. He left being a producer on Star Trek to work on this now.

I catch the show from time to time. So i don't know if this new arch was foreshadowed but it caught me by surprise. I still get annoyed by some things, but tonight's episode may have got me hooked.

It's a great little show, just enough low key snarky jabs to maintain those lolz.

I'll give it a few more episodes, but they need to decide if it's a comedy or not.

agreed - needs to be more galaxy quest which is how they promoted it
