Don’t care. Like star trek, but this sounds like an awful idea and a flop that will just dilute the brand even further. The live version of her character and Quaid’s was great. I wish they would land back on SNW or something.
You say “dilute,” I say “diversify”. Star Trek has always had a place for comedy. That doesn’t mean anything goes, and I get being trepidatious after the trash fire that was S31, but I think there’s good reason for optimism in this case. If Lower Decks and interviews like this are anything to go by, it looks like Newsome knows that any comedy needs to jibe with the overall Trek ethos.
For the record, I hated maybe the first five episodes of Lower Decks, while they were mostly just trying to do Rick and Morty in Trek. I do think they found their stride and now the concept of a stand-alone Trek comedy makes a lot more sense, especially from some of the same team.
Whcih I would much prefer over another season of SNW trying to make every episode the wacky, weird viral one instead of having a baseline of episodic sci-fi antology.
I get it, it’s harder to get that balance right with so few episodes, but SNW is WAY closer to jumping the shark than Lower Decks ever was. If you’re going to do a Trek comedy, do a separate show.
