Just seen the official trailer posted on YouTube, looks like it might be quite good, I think it starts this autumn.

I watched it last night, it was fairly good but would have been better if they just went down the serious route rather than trying to make it lighthearted in places.

Sets and CGI were surprisingly good, well on par with star-trek.

Hoping it can keep the viewing figures up!

Characters I care about? Check.
Decent enough VFX? Check.
Halfway competent writing? Check.

Yep, still better than STD.

I like that is like the original ST series where it's episodic rather than the story being stretched over an entire season.

Wasn't expecting Robert Picardo!

Or John Billingsley (Dr Phlox from enterprise).

Episode 3 much better. Very Star Trek!

Was trying to place him, I recognised the voice.

Be fun if they could even get Riker, Sisko, Janeway etc in some episodes.

Janeway looks nothing like she did in Voyager now

I thought it was going to be another moral episode but it turned out quite good, looking forward to the next one.
