Wow. That third episode. Heavy stuff for a rookie show, but some real Star Trek type material. It really felt like a TNG epsisode with a couple more ridiculous scenes.
Doing that episode was ballsy.

I’m hearing this show is more TNG than it is Galaxy Quest. Would that be a fair description? (Haven’t been able to see it yet).

It really is a bit of both. You will probably have to see it and decide for yourself. (Not an endorsement, btw. You might like it, you might hate it.)

Thx!

I would say it is TNG without the sanitized TNG character dialog- IOW, characters interact with the same kind of banter & word choices we'd expect from family, friends and work colleagues- with a blend of seriousness & just enough over the top/juvenile humor to never let us forget its creator.

I've been thinking of it as the Rosanne of sci-fi comedy in terms of pacing and overall storytelling.

I don't know if I'll be able to. It's not on here, and as far as I can make out no channel plans to show it in future.

Definitely "realistic", as opposed to Hollywood-style wish fulfillment. Extremely gutsy AND well done for a new "comedic" series.

I was going to say Married With Children.

The 3rd episode was very TNG in content.
