   That is intriguing. Of course, they might have ignored his notes (if   
   any) and simply stuck his name on for the same reasons they wanted the   
   Star Trek name on it.

   Yeah, Caleb and the captain are the only ones who interest me. Tilly the   
   hologram is so widely loathed that she might be written out after the   
   first season, if they have any sense.   
      
   I don't think I'm going to keep watching, since I've found some other   
   shows I like better, but I could be persuaded to return if the cast were   
   winnowed down to a reasonable number of decent characters.
