Yeah, he does resemble Captain Marvel, with the $%& eating grin and twinkle in his eye.. now that you mention it.
This looks pretty cool. I asked Sam Jones last weekend if he'd been approached for a Flash Gordon cameo, and he said he hadn't. He generally seemed clueless about the show, so I don't think he was adhering to non-disclosure. But he would be a natural fit for an episode or two.Comment

Glad to see Professor Stein getting more work. Here's hoping for a Shat or West guest star shot.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Yes, McFarlane is a true Trek fan... he even made that show with Patrick Stewart ("Blunt Talk"). I'm curious to see how this one turns out. So much of McFarlane's humor is pop culture based, which would be a mistake with this premise. But then again, he was totally charming in "Sing!" (don't judge).Comment

I think it would have been cool if they went for a more serious look to the bridge set, then just have the comedy set around a regular science fiction background.
Or even allow Seth to use a copy of the Enterprise D Bridge.
A cool starship would have been more fun to watch than a corny one.
Make everything cool, but just have the comedy, and maybe parody a uniform here and there, but don't parody everything.
I have a feeling that I would like this show better if it was a cartoon, some formats seem better. This seems more like Hyperdrive, which was okay, but not something really special that one could think about watching all the time, and be really excited for the next episode each week.
It seems predictable, but it might still be good.Comment

Looks promising. From my understanding, Seth also worked behind the scenes on the FOX 'Cosmos' revival from a couple of years ago.Comment

To be honest I hope Discovery crashes and burns from the start just to spite CBS for not going the classic familiar route (which would have been an easy win)Comment

Exactly Mikey! How hard would it have been to do a "Classic" Star Trek show set before Kirk's time? EASY! I even have a name for it... STAR TREK: CAPTAIN PIKE!
I hope Discovery goes down like The Titanic.sigpicComment
