What you think of this probably goes along with what you think of MacFarlane. New series coming on Fox, he's recruited as a starship captain with his ex wife as first officer. Many many Star Trek references, Galaxy Quest the TV series?

LOL - hope the series is as good as the trailer makes it out to be.

Ta muchly. 'will keep an eye out for that.

[kowalski655]

looks great, the ship even looks like the one in Galaxy Quest(a bit )

[Morningside]

Looks great. Will bookmark and hopefully it doesn't run out of steam

I'll have a watch of this - Didn't realise that the lead woman was Bobbi from Agents of Shield which is definitely a draw

I also hope it doesn't die on its feet as at least with his cartoons, they can easily be manipulated, but live action like this is potentially harder to manipulate.

Personally, I hope he tries to drop a Roger type character in to this as Roger in AmDad is brilliant

Well this will hopefully shake up the people at CBS working on ST Discovery.

Looks a lot of fun and quite a few Star Trek alumni in there (Bashirs Dad, Cassidy Yates).

Mcfarlane is a trekkie so hopefully it will get a bit of that silly Star Trek magic that we need rather than another dark, miserable, space soap opera.

It is just me - or are the SFX for this far better than the teaser for ST Discovery.

Not just you

Great to see Scott Grimes in there too; first saw him on Band of Brothers but having just finished watching all of ER, his Archie Morris character was one of the best (in the second half of the show's run).

Well this got a better response than I thought , I liked it too but I thought the replies here about MacFarlane in a live action thing would be somewhere between marmite and Adam Sandler. Happy to be wrong.

I must have missed or forgot Bashir's dad in Star Trek, because I saw him and thought 'Hey, Raj's dad!' . Looking forward to it hopefully being shown on a UK channel, or Amazon/Netflix (Lucifer episodes are put on Amazon Prime the day after they are shown on Fox).

[james_tigerwoods]

This looks brilliant - I hope all the episodes match up to the trailer

[e21Mark]

Excellent.

[Martin_Hx]

Looks good!

[Butter Face]

Looks great! I shall be watching.

[LuS1fer]

Given they put all the funniest bits in comedy trailers and this is a laugh-free zone, I shall skip it.

[anonymous-user]

Saw the trailer a few days ago - looking forward to it

[Six Fiend]

His live action film "A million ways to die in the West" is excellent if you like his animated offerings. As close to a modern day Blazing Saddles as we'll get.

They could have least given Keith Harris a cameo....
