It looks like it's trying very hard to be a Rick and Morty themed Star Truck, but honestly I'll give it the usual Three Episode Trial because "trying to be funny and tell the stories of the unsung crewmen" is a step up from the self-important and nonsensically plotted and fancervixy Grimdark Skull Trek of Disco/Picard.

If the worst it does is tepid humor I will be happy to see that in my Star Trek instead of acid attacks, exploding women, robot Picard, cannibalism, torture, and the Federation doing war crimes.

I thought it looks good. Pacing seems to be a lot faster than Trek shows, but it seems on par with animation like Final Space or Rick n Morty.

Modern trek is bad, friend. My theory is 9/11 broke a bunch of brains in writer's rooms when it comes to imagining a better future that's different from our gross, ugly present-- and they never healed. Look at what happened to Enterprise, it started out all Faith of the Heart and then the eps produced after 9/11 happened and it was Space American Space Marines responding to Space 9/11 by fighting the shadowy perfidious The Racist Cartoon Man's ersatz Trek has a better finger on the pulse of what Star Trek is than the real deal.

Action!" Not gratuitous shots of optical poptitude. I do remember as a kid that Conspiracy was a wild and out of character stand-out for fangorous violence. Just phasering that dude's torso apart on a Sunday night family space adventure show on network TV, NBD.

Oh god I cringed so hard I think I sprained something. I would almost rather re-watch both seasons of disco plus season 3, Picard, and ( ) Nemesis than give this aggressively, offensively unfunny trash even one chance. Mercifully that's almost, because I long ago promised myself I'd never watch Nemesis again.

I think it looks alright, and I’m glad they’re using proper LCARS and proper TNG era sound effects and whatnot. I’ll happily give it a chance. Y’all are just dead inside.

I'll give it a shot, even though I'm not at all sold by the trailer. Comedy trailers are tough, where your jokes aren't in context and are probably cut apart and the viewer doesn't know the characters' personalities. That being said, I was surprised at how dramatically ambitious it looked. Maybe I was just worried it would have a wacky Robot Chicken vibe or something, but I do see some promise in that it looks very story focused and emphasizes the relationships between the characters. The humor as shown didn't come off great, but I think that based on that trailer the show's got a chance of being enjoyable, and I'm not willing to write off the comedy quite yet.

Not going to write it off based on a trailer, they're usually terrible regardless of the content quality.

I don't really know what people were expecting, it looks fine in my opinion, but I certainly won't be starting my CBS All Access subscription just to watch it.

Comedy trailers are tough, where your jokes aren't in context and are probably cut apart and the viewer doesn't know the characters' personalities. That's pretty much my reaction too. The look is fine: it's visibly TNG-ish and the ship does look better than I expected from the poster. The humor could still go either way; that's always hard to judge from a trailer.

You know, I can't help to think that practically every show is made to look even worse by chopping up all the "best" bits and gluing them together. It always sells the tone wrong, overexposes short frenetic actions/gags, and contains none of the warm character moments that make a show lovable. Trailers are in need of a thorough re-think. Something like this would be served better by a five-minute mini-episode.

Yeah, it might just be the eternal optimist in me, but I'm also willing to bet that this trailer was made to attract a specific crowd and it ain't Trek nerds.

I smiled at "You almost phasered me!"/"Nah, it was set on stah..." Trailers for animated comedies seem especially prone to short-selling them by cramming in the most OTT out-of-context gags. The first trailer I saw for Futurama (on Fox, which I caught when visiting LA before the show reached the UK) was shrill and awful and centred on basically a masturbation joke, and it was shown in every commercial break. Almost put me off the show before it started.

It looks alright, I guess. It didn't make me laugh, but it looks like it will be more of a cute character show than a gag show. I'd actually be more interested in it if it were live action.

It actually kind of looks like it could be The Orville with more emphasis on the comedy and better pacing. But with the embarrassment of being a branded cartoon.

The Lower Decks trailer feels like Rick and Morty for 12 year olds. Everyone seems to act like they're in high school and can't wait to pop out a Dreamworks smirk. I'll give it a chance but that trailer is trash.

There's actually some of the best joeks in the show in some of these trailers but they're presented without context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW0GXPb8Erg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9mqjugWd38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9fmIoiQL-M

It’s trippy to realize Futurama and Family Guy were airing when DS9 was still first run. I mentally put those shows in two distinct eras of television.
