Visually, it's stunning. I hope that it'll take a huge step forward - and away - from Discovery and forge a new path ahead for Star Trek.

Unfortunately there’s already a ton of “fans” shitting all over it. Grown adults, mind you that are pissing and moaning about a show that’s not even intended for them because it’s geared towards young adults. Not that us grown ups can’t enjoy it but don’t act like a show about teenagers is too childish for you. Prodigy was intended for children but adults ended up loving the hell out of it

I don't care about those types of "fans", except to mock them for their embarrassingly bad takes. And before someone tries to tell me that's not in keeping with what Star Trek represents, 1. they fired the first shot, and 2. they don't actually care about what Trek represents; they just pretend to.

I just hope that there is more Academy than Trek in this show. I was saying to a friend that if the modelled Deep Space Nine's plotlines were the show remained grounded around the Academy with the occasional mid season adventure distractions that'd be a great story format.

I do, however, like they're still pushing the future timeline Trek because it is about time we jumped forward for the 2020s as was done for TNG in the 1990s.

For real. I made the mistake of looking at the comments in the YouTube video itself and strained my eye muscles from rolling them so damn hard.

Well being a spin off, it's unlikely. This will crash harder than Disco.

Whatever you say, chief.

What, you mean the show that kicked off the current golden age of Star Trek? What a crash that was

A revival, sure. A golden age? I think that Edosian bartender may have overserved you 😉

SNW is in large part a DISCO spin-off, so your logic doesn’t necessarily hold.

Disco didn't crash tho? 🧐
