    Trailer leaked. Looks damn good, and doesn't look like a children's cartoon at all, lots of adult humour.

    Just saw this too and really looking forward to seeing it. The teaser makes it feel like The Orville or maybe Futurama in tone. I am fully bracing myself for another wave of "That's not Star Trek" trolls on social media too.

    Then they're not Star Trek fans, not worth the attention given to them.

    Completely agree. None of these shows are being billed as "season X" of an older show, and arguably Wrath of Khan/Into Darkness is the only effort to directly remake the same story (although take away the Khan name and the mirrored Kirk/Spock death scenes and they become 2 very different movies). If I want to watch an old story, I'll stream the old show it appeared in. Otherwise give me new and different. It is going to be more fun for the directors, actors and writers to make, and more fun to watch when you don't already know where the story is going.

    As always, I am reserving judgement until I have actually seen it, but the trailer looks like the sort of comedy that won't land for me. I tend to prefer absurd situations over absurd characters. I wasn't a huge fan of the "comedy" of Season 1 of the Orville, either, and this looks like the characters in this one are going to be bigger clowns.

    Really the big red flag isn't our main cast as much as the bridge crew going hi five let's get a beer.

    Having seen the trailer, I think this may interest me, and might be my favourite of the Star Treks that have come out in the past few years, I can imagine the crew below decks being goofy.

    Well...
    Seeing as thus far everyone has passed on the international distribution (even Netflix) of the series and that CBS already disabeled likes/dislikes and comments...
    ...it will be as "liked" as Star Trek: Burnham and Picard.

    If the toons didn't wear the uniforms you wouldn't even know it's Trek, it just looks like a watered down Rick & Morty rip-off.

    All the references (aside from the obvious...even Tasha's "Spiked Ball of Death" made it in) to other, more supirior series, is so tryhard it actually hurts...and it's only 1:44 minutes of this %!#*...

    But hey, comments and likes/dislikes are still enabled...for now.

    This is definitely not a knock on the genre or anyone who does, but I just do not enjoy animation... easy to pass up on this one for me.

    I'll watch it and give it a chance.

    But I am not really thrilled at the prospect of Rick & Morty Trek. Yes there have been subtle bits of comedy in every version of Star Trek but this is more so an animated rip off of the Orville's Concept. With respect to CBS, Seth McFarland does it better as well.

    I also want to know what designer was allowed to design such a starship & what Admiral at Utopia Planitia or Starfleet Command actually approved it. If the shields fail you're a couple of phaser blasts or torpedo shots away from being stranded in space and running on auxiliary power. The EPS System has to be a nightmare and I feel very bad for the Chief Engineer on that ship.

    All that being said for the sake of the franchise. Well I'll give it my best go.

    It looks god-awful. But hey I'll watch the pilot. If I don't vomit I'll consider that a plus.
