So I'll wait for someone here to indicate it isn't a total waste of time after watching the full season.
I'll be back after Episode 1 but thus far...they're really leaning into this. I do not understand the love-in for Holly Hunter...mid actress at best and her voice is inherently bothersome. Its like she has too many teeth or something.

Apparently enunciation is no longer important in Starfleet. There had better be an episode where the ship and crew is in danger and the Captain and First Officer are barking orders at the crew who just shrug their shoulders because they just can't understand what these people are saying.

Also...do you like lens flares and inexplicable yet plentiful steam vents? What about magic haircuts and uniforms? Because if you do...oh boy is this the show for you!



Apparently in the future this guy really, really jacked the hell out of his prices and totally priced Starfleet out of the carpet market. Thus marble tile has infiltrated the Federation as the premier, inexplicable and wholly inappropriate flooring solution of choice.

I half expected there to be a new character who is just The Janitor going around the entire ship with a mop and bucket.

Just replace Boothby with Groundskeeper Willie but all he does is mop all day.

Then there is the hefty woman who eats her own comm-badge within the first few minutes. Yeah...thats Premium Starfleet material right there.

And thats just the first 20 minutes! Will update as it goes on.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
