Ok... I think I understand what you mean. It sounds like shit in the sense that you aren't interested in it. Not necessarily that it sounds like shit as in it going to be a terrible program that even their intended audience won't like.
Perhaps it will be something more like Scrubs but with sci-fi danger instead of comedy. Or Friday Night Lights, Freaks and Geeks, or a Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I'm holding out hope that they learned something from the backlash over Discovery. [Reply]

Yeah. Just not a mini-genre that I am fond of at all. It would have to be unusually well done to interest me. [Reply]

As you can see by the OP... I'm not in disagreement about when this show should have been set in and you can see who I think should have been the lead.
I don't know why they would look or sound like morons just because it is set in the 32nd century... any more than TOS or TNG did for being set when they were in relation to when they aired.
Not that I am trying to convince you to like it... if anything I will reserve those efforts for Lower Decks. [Reply]

I'm gonna guess she will be teaching Engineering.
How to engineer a lifestyle that makes one fat? [Reply]

Good news, The Doctor from Voyager is going to be a series regular in this. Bad news, several Discovery characters are going to be in it too.

Given that she traveled nearly 1000 years into the future, she should really be a student rather than a teacher. Can you imagine bringing someone from the year 1024 to the present day and then expecting them to teach? [Reply]
The good news is a professor from 1024 would show us how to build roads that didn't go to shit within three years, and our trebuchet game would be on point. [Reply]

Depends what they are teaching. For example, Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi could teach Algebra. Several people from that time could teach Latin. Sun Tzu could still teach strategy.
I understand what you are saying, though, and had the same thought. I can't imagine she is teaching any high level classes regardless how much of a prodigy she is. [Reply]
