The effects are honestly better than anything from the Trek TV universe, Adrianne Palicki was really good in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", the woman playing the doctor was good as the last police captain on "Castle"... it probably won't last with it's strange mix of serious and lowball humor but, as was said, I do like its take of "regular joes in space". As much as I loved the Trek TV shows, they were just so serious and full of themselves for the most part.
Its interesting you thought of Castle. I always associate her with 24. [Reply]
I finally had a chance to watch it tonight. It was pretty much as expected, before all of the negative critics chimed in.
It's basically Star Trek with a touch of humor. It's actually pretty silly that Paramount didn't license the Star Trek name to Seth MacFarlane for the show because it really walks a fine line between their IP and his new program.
I don't know if there's a large enough audience to sustain the budget of this show but if there is, I'd expect it only improve over time. [Reply]
