I need to be able to like this post a million times before I'm remotely satisfied I'd be coming close to how I feel about this series. I could not watch the trailer all the way through, that's how bad I find this.

Bring on the Orville!
Again I would have no issues with this show (except maybe the Klingons....yeah I still have issues with the look) HAD this been set after Voyager
I object to this pandering to the fans saying its a pre tos era and then doing everything htey can to not fit it in....IF it is set before...then make it LOOK like it or for kibbles sake WHY BOTHER???
So nope this is a sinking ship in my opinion.

The contrast between the box with the big words "cats love it!" And then the POed cat underneath cracks me up every time. I'm probably going to order the wizard hat version just to mess with Willy cat in retaliation for the pie incident.

Something was bothering the Kitty after watching the trailer and it took me a day or so to figure this out...is the unis are wrong (not just the fact discovery has a enterprise ship logo)...as is the tech, this takes place in the era of the TOS eppy 'The Cage' (which memory alpha says took place in 2254 o.0) the first pilot made canon by being shown as old Enterprise log footage in the TOS Menagerie eppy 13 years later in 2267...this new show takes place in 2255 one year after the Pike Talos mission and The Enterprise connie was launched around 2250...Cpt April had it for one shakedown mission Pike commanded it for two five year missions, SOOoooo we know what Starfleet and its gear looked like from the 2250's lol We saw it on screen already, and that stuff in the trailer is not it! \o/ The beginning of the trailer says 'ten years before kirk...spock and the enterprise'...um...no maybe ten years before kirk commanded it...but the Enterprise had been around for like 3 five year missions before Kirk's command. I mean this is their own show's time line...their own canon...how do you miss such things....there are omipedia's you can get off amazon and from bookstores 0.o star trek wikipedias...the official star trek website itself lol I mean one is supposed to at least try and make an effort to meet a claim that you wish to achieve for your viewers....wow...this is like watching a train wreck unfold

Is this set in the JJVerse? This is actually a good point. They can get away with the discontinuity if it's JJVerse, because the entire canon becomes bunk due to the reboot. Which is another fail.

I think I'll give it a shot but I'm going in with the lowest possible expectations. I wish they would do a very focused character drama, like Breaking Bad, where no moment is wasted.

At this rate you should go in for no expectations.
Even with it being "prime", it still has the JJverse look and feel.
Nope.

Well, may as well drop this here. I find these guys pretty reliable when it comes to movies and series information. Though, even they say take most of it with a grain of salt at this point.

Did they change their mind about having the first episode on TV again? Last I heard they canceled that because it was so behind schedule and they had no idea when it would be ready. If not even the first wpisode is on TV it will probably be years latter when its not just on their crappy streaming site that I will see any episodes.
