A bunch of random people shout at each other, engage in antics. there's a nude scene and apparently heart transplants are just done out in the open with the transplanted organ just thrust into some random persons' hands.

Here is some of my thoughts on the trailer.
1) As a fan of the 90s Trek era, I love that that design of the ship is coming back. One of the things about Discovery and Picard that I don't like is how dark everything looks. The Enterprise looks fine but the other ships are hard to see. I love the design of the Cirretos.
2) I got a laugh out of the captains log gag.
3) I saw Klingons and Borg in this series. I think someone else mentioned Romulans but I didn't see any. I might see the trailer again a few more times.
4) I love the one-eyed visor. It looks like the Dominion eye piece from DS9.
I think more than anything I loved how energetic it was. Like I said, I woke up this morning and someone posted it. I didn't expect something like that, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Clearly terrible.
The guy getting caught naked at the ops or conn station(?) may have been one of the only real laughs of the entire trailer but I did laugh at it.

Star Trek is serious business.
It's from one of the main writers of Rick & Morty, so what exactly were you expecting? The moment Mike McMahan was announced as showrunner, I knew exactly what to expect, and that is exactly what we got in the trailer.
I think going to R&M for their showrunner was a really smart move since that is one of the best, and smartest sci-fi comedies ever.
As for the trailer itself, I loved it, it just looks like a lot of silly, goofy fun. For a long time now, I've wanted a full on comedic Trek series, and based off of the trailer looks like it's going to be exactly what I was wanting.
It's not a parody, it's a comedy set in the Star Trek universe. And yes, there is a difference, a parody is basically making fun of something, but this is not making fun of Star Trek, this is finding humor in the situations people in the Star Trek universe find themselves in. So it's more Trouble with Tribbles, or In the Cards, than Galaxy Quest.
My favorite parts of the trailer were the Captain's Log gag, the holodeck waste bit, and the last part with the phaser.
I wasn't quite sure what the expect visually, and I was a little surprised they stuck as close to the TNG-Voyager visual style as they did. It all made a bit nostalgic, after Discovery and Picard went in their own different directions with things.
Or Starfleet, because it's a workplace comedy.
I liked that they finally dealt with the olfactory component of the holodeck. Stuff has to smell realistic for immersion
Unless I grossly misread the trailer, these don't seem like horrible people.
As long as it is entertaining I’m good. Been waiting for something entertaining from the CBS folks for three-plus years now.
So you didn't see the trailer? Because I didn't see anyone "horrible" in it.
Glad to know WRONG FONT! is still a thing in 2020.
it's a very religious show
A. Our leads are ungrateful
B. Everyone is disdainful towards others
C. The crew play around with dangerous weapons
D. They care more about their position than the lives of their crew mates
E. They come off as passive in uncertain situations
These are horrible people.
You've got to be kidding me. When people ask me what "mock outrage" is, from now on I'll point to this post as a textbook example.
Nope
Yeah. We already have Discovery for that.
