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

First episode wasn't bad, waiting to see what happens the rest of the season. One thing I'm glad is that all the promo stuff was from the premiere, so at least we haven't seen all the highlights ahead of time.

show's hilarious and surprisingly 'interesting' :)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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