The only things we know about it are two of the actors and the setting. A bit early to declare it shit, no?
Either way... we aren't the target audience for this series much like we weren't the target audience for Prodigy and most of you weren't the target audience for Lower Decks. [Reply]

No. It sounds like a coming-of-age TV show set in a fictional college. There will be Trek window dressing to appropriate the established universe, and there will be nothing about it to provide storytelling opportunities like previous Trek shows. Hey, kids! Saved By The Bell...in space! But not really in space. Near San Francisco! [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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

I'm gonna guess she will be teaching Engineering.
How to engineer a lifestyle that makes one fat? [Reply]
