What's that saying about a Golden Goose again?

"Milk it for all it's worth...and more!"

[McCoy]

That's the one. Glad CBS have also got the memo. 

[Vespa Alex]

Hmmm, as a huge Trek fan I'm starting to feel like this is getting a bit much now.
Still I'm sure I'll give it a go

[Harsin]

 

[JohnC]

It's got a name, Star Trek Prodigy

Smack My Borg Up

[Benny]

Their Lore.

[Meh]

If they're flying around in a Miranda-class ship I'll watch it even if it's garbage. I fucking love those ships. Please be one of those.

This show shouldn't need to exist. When I was a kid the Star Trek I watched was the same Star Trek my Dad watched. It was great family TV, and one of the few shows my Mum, Dad, Brother, Sister and I religiously gathered to watch every week. 

 

The only reason there's a place for this is because Kurtzman has decided Star Trek needs to be full of F Bombs and fucking beheadings to be entertaining. If his aim is to get 'the next generation' watching star trek then make it a fucking family show again, then there'd be no need for this training Trek shit.

Janeway's back, baby

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Janeway is my favourite captain, Voyager my favourite show. Glad to see her back - shame its it a cartoon though

 

 

 

her voice is fantastic!

[DeciderVT]

Oh Alex. Probably the only time you get to see a room full of smiling faces is when you get a proper Trek actor to win an audience over for you.

[JohnC]

A look at the crew. No details. not even names, yet though.

 

 

[Papaya Dance]

Jesus fucking Christ.

[GwiDan]

Bet the one on the right has to fit into a comically small workstation at least twice an episode. 

[JohnC]

I kind of hope he's one of Shatner's deleted rock people.

New Star Wars looks good.

[James Lyon]

Surprised to see that Portal and Flushed Away are part of the Star Trek universe.

I'm quite excited about having a very alien crew. I know the reasons why Star Trek could rarely choose, or afford, to put an alien on the screen that wasn't the result of whatever spray paint, Spandex, and latex foreheads were lying around that week, but I felt its lack of truly interesting species was one of the show's greatest disservices to science fiction.

I wholeheartedly agree, its why i quite like the titan books as the crew on there are mostly non human.

[Papaya Dance]

I'm still annoyed a kid's trek even needs to be made because kurtzman decided what adult trek needs is more beheadings and eye gouging.

Cast and character details.

Rylee Alazraqui (Home Economics) as “Rok-Tahk,” a Brikar and an unusually bright eight-year-old girl. Rok is a bit shy, but not when it comes to her love for animals

 

Brett Gray (On My Block) as “Dal,” 17 years old and an unknown species, he fancies himself a maverick, who even in the toughest times, holds strong onto his unwavering hope

 

Angus Imrie (The Crown) as “Zero,” who is a Medusan: a noncorporeal, genderless, energy-based lifeform. Since others would go mad at the sight of their true self, Zero wears a containment suit they made themselves to protect others

 

Jason Mantzoukas (Infinite) as “Jankom Pog,” a 16-year-old Tellarite. Tellarites are known to relish an argument, and Jankom is no different. Regardless of opinion, he will always play ‘devil’s advocate’ for the sake of hearing all sides

 

Ella Purnell (Army of the Dead) as “Gwyn,” a 17-year-old Vau N’Akat who was raised on her father’s bleak mining planet and grew up dreaming to explore the stars

 

Dee Bradley Baker (SpongeBob SquarePants) as “Murf,” whose age and species is unknown but who is an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts

This looks shit.

 

Then I heard the music and saw the ship and was like, yep, I'm in!

[Garwoofoo]

I thought Lower Decks was going to be shit and it turned out to be the only decent Star Trek produced in the last fifteen years, so I'm more than willing to give this a go.

 

Everyone hated The Clone Wars when it came out and now animated Star Wars is better than the live-action stuff. You won't find me judging this just because it's for kids.
