Okay, y’all say your piece—
Wasn’t thrilled with the preceding “born a girl/turned into a boy” episode and the way last night started with the 2 “its”, but the episode told me they will do some semi-spoofs of original Star Trek shows and it was interesting enough to watch unless better options come along.
Damn, forgot it moved to Thursday and missed it, had college football on in the background for noise instead.
Have to make a mental note for next week.
My son and I are watching the series because we both like Seth McFarland’s humor.
The two dad’s gender reassignment episode - I found it to be a subtle dig more than PC propaganda.
Last night I decided that the series has potential. They have actual plots that are a little campy like the original Star Trek. But they are also lampooning Star Trek a little bit. It is a refreshing take on that type of series.
I really enjoyed the scene where the captain tries their food without a second thought and it disgusts him. As he began to eat, my son was saying “how does he know it isn’t poisonous to humans?”
I would have really liked it if they did something similar in the torture scene. The bad guy gives the female officer a shot that should cause excruciating pain. It would have been great if it had an effect like heroine. Since it is McFarland, I expected her to have an orgasm from the shot.
Where do you watch this?
As much of a flaming libhole that McFarlane is, he is willing to take a swipe at his own side as well. And frankly it couldn’t get worse than Roddenberry, who at times was to the left of classical libs.

I haven't seen it, but considering his fascination/love of Star Wars, I would guess that Seth will have a good run.
I got around to watching eps 3 and 4.
3 was.....there was part of that plot not to like but generally it was done much better than I would have thought, and I can’t imagine “Discovery” touching something like that with a 10 foot pole. It was a very “Star Trek” kinda story.
Episode 4 was very funny, good mix of comedy and drama. Good performances by the 2 lovely ladies, McF isn’t a good actor but his performance is growing on me. Nice to see “T-bag” from Prison Break. Scott Grimes is very amusing.
All in all, impressed with 3 and 4. Definitely better (but so radically different it’s hard to compare) than Discovery.
Couldn’t even get through the first episode of this series.
