General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

What got my attention is that Sinclair is apparently in this in some capacity - I always liked him.
Yeah, when they first changed to Sheridan I didn't like him a ton, but over time I grew to love him
I hope they are both in it in some capacity.
I swear, Phil LaMarr is a vocal chameleon.
It’s interesting that this is only available as a purchase rather than through a streamer. Seems like WB is trying to build demand for a new live action product.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed hearing Bruce Boxleitner’s voice in the promo clip. Having him join in the second season of Babylon 5 really saved the show for me. I’m curious to see where this leads, if they will transition with newer younger characters and if B5 can morph into a more viable franchise.
(I found Michael O’Hare’s performance in season one unbearable despite a strong pilot. Knowing his health issues, explains it, but he still pulled down the excellent efforts of all those around him. I still skip most of the season on rewatch.)
I think O'Hare was pretty great in the role, but the role was very...unconventional for a leading man on a sci-fi show. Like Picard with a death wish.
Definitely a different perspective. I get the sense that this is one of those situations where viewer reactions can be quite polarized.
BTW I liked the role, and was very much looking forward to the show after the original pilot aired with the original first officer. I just didn’t find O’Hare’s acting in the actual show met the standard they were looking for.
