yeah, I got a bad feeling about that show. I think it is a mistake to have it in the original universe.
-
that universe no longer exists due to the events in Star Trek 09. Therefore, they are technically doing a whole series that never happened.
-
I think it will confuse people who are not fully into Star Trek yet. This this will especially happen if they do what they are planing in the 2nd season(have interaction with TOS characters).
The lead not being a Captain? how is that going to work? If she is in command of the Starship, how will they explain the lack of the Captain rank? If someone else is the Captain, just how will it work with the lead being the first officer?
and again, I still think it is a mistake to not have this on regular network tv.
