It's not completely unique, but it's always good to pump for a few laughs here and there. And when they start plumbing the dynamic between the 'normies' and the 'heroes' of the traditional Star Trek stories for humor, there's gonna be some good stuff there.

Completely with you on Robot Chicken/Family Guy's spoofs on Star Wars. I think what I'm into here is that this is actual Star Trek. This isn't a spoof or a bit. Whatever happens in this show is CANNON.

What a strange way for Star Trek to continue the Prime timeline... but I'm actually enjoying it.
