There's a difference between derivative: copying/spoofing/insulting an established show, and world-building: which is what TNG, DS9 and Voyager (and even Enterprise when it wasn't screwing continuity) didSo I wonder how many of the people dismissing this as derivative will be tuning in for the sixth star trek tv show?

Seth, looks like we can agree to all of your terms except the parking spot. BUT we've crunched some numbers and if you were willing to give up any idea of comedic-timing, I think we can make that spot happen.
Seth misses optimism.

Wonder if part of his statement was indirectly aimed at Discovery.
Did you you post an incorrect link?? I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
As soon as I saw "Seth Mcfarlane" attached, and at the helm, I knew any hope of it being clever or actually comedic were impossible.
He is so prolific and throws so much up against the wall wholesale every now and then something sticks.
Only when he's on a leash. When he has full control, we get modern Family Guy and 1000 Ways to Die in the West.
Most talented writers/comedians usually have a niche they specialize in; they don't usually use the "throw everything at the wall" approach. To me, that's actually the opposite of prolific. It's desperation.
I suspect this show will have a bit or two worth a laugh but I can't see this as some long sustainable series. Where do they go
after the Trek parody novelty wears off? That's going to come really fast.
