It's kind of pretty to look at, at least.

Not in the slightest. The effects looked cheap and, in some places, even unfinished. In one of the big establishing shots of a space station or something, I swear one of the shuttles that flew past looked like it didn't even have any textures applied to it. The main villains looked okay in a kind of bland, generic orc/vampire/reman kind of way, I guess.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yeah, I went in looking for Galaxy Quest and got Star Trek: B Crew. Which I can definitely see appealing to the big Star Trek/spaceship show fans out there but the "deceptive" or confusing advertising combined with the relatively good debut placing makes me curious what numbers are going to look like for its second and third episodes. Because it seems like a recipe for a lot of people like me who tuned in for the expectation but won't for the reality.

But we'll see. Its a rare case where I'm mildly curious to pay attention to ratings.

I was expecting a dumbed down Galaxy Quest, but hoping for B Crew and was really pleased with it.

If there's a show with an interesting concept that I'm having trouble watching week to week, I just wait til the season's over and watch at my leisure from there. Easier for me to stay engaged if the pace is more under my control.

Trust me, Tim Allen was the worst thing about Galaxy Quest. Everything else was great.

Same thing with Seth and Orville.

Full disclosure I haven't seen it yet but I'll probably try it out based on everyone's comments to see if it will overcome my borderline irrational hatred of McFarlane. Kinda doubt it. Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a jab at him first though.

The Orville isn’t bad. They gave the super strong girl eyebrows after the pilot so she could be more “relatable” to teenage hu-mon boys.

Mrs. Rainbowbeard said that the robot man has Brent Spiner’s inflections and the muscle alien has Michael Dorn’s.

It’s not a terrible show at all. It’s pretty much an off-brand Star Trek with a little extra humor that you don’t have to buy a subscription to CBA All Access to watch in America.

The Seth McFarlane jokes are the worst part of an otherwise fabulous re-imaging of Star Trek TOS + TNG. The jokes just make all the humans look like assholes. All of them except the doctor.

Its always seemed to be whatever the modern equivalent of "mini series" is. Which doesn't discount it from having a second season but should mean its a stand alone story. At least that's always what I've assumed it is.

Like that's how the Agent Carter seasons worked for me. Stand alone, short order "seasons/series." Or the Netflix shows.

It's a face saving tv measure. When a show tests as badly as Inhumans has they relabel it as a limited run series and can say "No, we didn't cancel it, it was only ever meant to run for 12 episodes."

I'm still worried that Inhumans has damaged AoS. Money was taken out (i mean it looks cheap, but it couldn't have been that cheap) of AoS budget for it is a real fear. Especially since this upcoming season looks like it will be Space.

UPDATE: ABC has reached out to us with the following statement: "Please be advised on background that this is the same promotional verbiage we’ve been using throughout our campaign, as this is not a new poster." With that in mind, we probably shouldn't take that "the COMPLETE series" quote as gospel and the door might just still be open for a second season to happen. Stay tuned for updates.
