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]

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. [Reply]
