Two episodes (if you can call a 3-4 minute short an “episode”) will supposedly go live today, so, uh, if you’re a preschooler, let us know what you think!
My headcanon is that this is an in-universe show that the kids on the Enterprise D enjoyed.
Boimler grew up with it and has ALL the nostalgic merch. Mariner also has the merch hidden in the ceiling panels but would never admit to it.
Since the asteroids are silly, and the skateboard appears/disappears, and the targ just appears, I was thinking this was some kids playing in a holodeck, maybe an in-universe hologame(?) for kids.
I personally am looking forward to the inevitable crossover episode with Strange New Worlds.
i can hear it in Dorn’s voice so clearly: “Bubbles is not a traditional name for a targ.”
My sister called this an abomination… and she’s the one who sees redeeming qualities in DISCO (I do too, but I think she likes Disco more than me).
From what I’ve read, I agree. This seems to be purely oriented towards iPad babies, which is horrid; these kinds of shows let their child viewers be dumber than they actually are.
I’d much rather have a Craig of the Creek-esque show about a group of kids having fun and going about their lives on a starbase while their parents deal with big Starfleet stuff in the background, hinting at something bigger going on as a mystery for parents and smart kids to solve. The kids never save the entire Federation or something hokey like that; at most, we have something like a Picard stuck in the turbolift with three children and a broken leg during red alert situation every once in a while.
Yeah, this’ll be a hard pass for me too.
