This looks silly, and I will watch it.

Well this is frustrating. A Galaxy Quest-style Star Trek spoof TV show, made by a Trek fan and mostly directed by Trek luminaries (upcoming episodes to be directed by James L. Conway, Jonathan Frakes, Robert Duncan McNeill and, erm, Brannon Braga)... why did it have to be Seth McFarlane though? I suppose on the one hand, he's the only person who can get something like this made. On the other, while I really want to like him because he loves lots of stuff I love, and I'm sure he's a lovely chap, I unfortunately find his stuff annoyingly unfunny and laboured. Maybe he'll go for a different style of humour than he normally does (something a bit warmer and less mean-spirited), but the laugh-free trailer isn't promising. I'll be surprised if this makes it to a second season, looks like exactly the kind of one joke high concept comedy that gets cancelled pretty quickly (see Son Of Zorn), but hopefully a soundtrack CD will be forthcoming.

I hope it's like the Trek seris that he is spoofing: multiple different composers given a chance, with reoccurring favorites. So, Broughton, McNeely, Jones, Murphy, and some others here and there. How sweet would a Don Davis score be?

That's almost exactly how I feel about Kevin Smith. Love the man, hate his work. I certainly cannot fault McFarlane's love of the source material. And it looks more TNG than TOS which is nice. The great thing? McFarlane LOVES music. Good grief, the man can hum Battle in the Snow from The Empire Strikes Back from memory. (OK, that's not a big deal to anyone HERE...)

The trailer giggled me, I'll check this out. Great to see Bruce and Joel, that makes me smile!

I was just gonna dismiss this, but I watched the preview...and actually chuckled a few times. Fine, I'll try it.
