Ok... I think I understand what you mean. It sounds like shit in the sense that you aren't interested in it. Not necessarily that it sounds like shit as in it going to be a terrible program that even their intended audience won't like.

Perhaps it will be something more like Scrubs but with sci-fi danger instead of comedy. Or Friday Night Lights, Freaks and Geeks, or a Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I'm holding out hope that they learned something from the backlash over Discovery.

Just set it post Picard. There's no reason to get crazy...the same damn era worked for the best decade of Trek, um, ever?

Yeah. Just not a mini-genre that I am fond of at all. It would have to be unusually well done to interest me.

As you can see by the OP... I'm not in disagreement about when this show should have been set in and you can see who I think should have been the lead.

I don't know why they would look or sound like morons just because it is set in the 32nd century... any more than TOS or TNG did for being set when they were in relation to when they aired.

Not that I am trying to convince you to like it... if anything I will reserve those efforts for Lower Decks.

Well, they were setting up the fat redhead from Discovery to teach at the Academy.

What is she going to teach, "How to get fat despite AI and food tech that helps you stay fit?"

Well she is an Engineer who was fast tracked through the academy because of her skill, served as XO, and as lead Science officer.

I'm gonna guess she will be teaching Engineering.

Theoretical Engineering... the people who made it possible to go from warp 5 on the NX Enterprise to 9.975 on Voyager.

Good news, The Doctor from Voyager is going to be a series regular in this. Bad news, several Discovery characters are going to be in it too.

Given that she traveled nearly 1000 years into the future, she should really be a student rather than a teacher. Can you imagine bringing someone from the year 1024 to the present day and then expecting them to teach?

The good news is a professor from 1024 would show us how to build roads that didn't go to shit within three years, and our trebuchet game would be on point.

Depends what they are teaching. For example, Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi could teach Algebra. Several people from that time could teach Latin. Sun Tzu could still teach strategy.

I understand what you are saying, though, and had the same thought. I can't imagine she is teaching any high level classes regardless how much of a prodigy she is.

I originally booed the casting from Discovery but in light of...

It isn't like we really got to see a whole lot of what Tilly could be due to the fact that Burnham ate 80% of the dialogue on the show whether it be her speaking or other characters speaking about her.

Tig Notaro as Jett Reno is a HUGE addition for me. I would 100% watch the Reno/Stammets Power Hour if it were ever to be made. Reno was a highlight in the train wreck that was Discovery. Tig is perfect for the role of Reno.

Odid was a nice break from the typical Starfleet Admiral. I don't know if you will understand what I mean, Lower Decks does a really good job of exaggerating it, but an air of massive overconfidence, bravado, and pomposity that they tend to speak with. They tended to come off as take charge but more often than not were actually dumb, incompetent, or just Badmirals (if you didn't know it... yes, that is a term). Like... anytime I saw an Admiral show up in any of the older Trek series I was always waiting to see what member of the crew they were gonna **** over that time.

Hell... that was a trope that not even the greatness of Picard S3 was able to pull off (Shelby).
