Eh. I like the concept, but not the execution. Vulcans have to LEARN to suppress their emotions, yeah? They don't act like that naturally. And geez, poor Spock. Is the fact that he's generally treated like garbage by full-blooded Vulcans genetic too?
Lots of casting news. The above video introduces us to the actors playing the cadets. Also announced is a LOT of returning characters from Discovery, including Tilly (practically a given), Reno, and Vance.
Also returning... ROBERT PICARDO! I'm already seeing mass speculation as to whether he will be playing the "actual" Doctor or the "Living Witness" back-up copy. If it's the "Living Witness" copy... Remember, Series ? did it first!
Yup, new show announced. Live-action comedy. Sounds like it takes place on Risa (or somewhere similar) and is... kinda like the Truman Show?

All of this except Lower Decks & the Academy show is hot flaming garbage, & I say that about the Academy because we know nothing about it yet.
That SNW clip wasn't funny despite it supposed to be, was badly acted, & as you said, is poor canonizing. Their speech patterns were like that Brooklyn 99 scene where they all did their impression of Holt eating a marshmallow–except, y'knOw, not funny. In fact, I'd prefer they drop with the shitty snark-style humor attempts (& it is shitty) & try to fucking remember these people are on a starship bridge, not working at The Gap or as servers in a wine bar.
That S31 trailer made no sense & felt like standard shitty trashy Hollywood bondage-style action porn. Feh. As for a Risa/Truman Show mashup? GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH A CHAINSAW.

I have no hope for CBSTrek. DSC and PIC are gone (and good riddance), LDS will be gone (and good riddance to that too), PRO season 2 seems to be the end of that show (and NOT good riddance, as PRO was the best show they made), and we’re left with:
SNW, which I find tolerable…
SFA, which I have zero interest in…
Section 31 movie, which looks like ass…
And Tawny’s pet project? No. Just, no.

It's too bad Lower Decks is over. It's the perfect fan service show.
