Captain Robert April

Gene didn't consider TAS canon (because he was being petty over who owned the rights) and didn't like those movies, that's the joke.

Here I thought he'd sat through "The Infinite Vulcan" and simply come to the reasonable decision No Fucking Way.

Actually Walter Koenig states he was getting notes from Roddenberry on the story as he was doing a rewrite and that he wasn't being Fantastical enough because they could do more things with animation - so cue the plant aliens and a 50-foot cloned Spock.

The 1970s were a Helluva drug.

Some would have us believe they can be damaged or even bulldozed(!) from great distances by unseen, nefarious agents. If so, I suspect witchcraft is afoot.

The transporter is real, but only works on books.

after watching 1883 on P+, I've come to the realization that I want a 10-episode limited series detailing April and his command of the Enterprise. every two episodes could cover a defining moment in April's five-year tenure as Captain of the Enterprise and the aftermath of the events are what compels April to leave and transfer command over to Pike.

I haven't watched 1883. What about this show in particular inspired your limited series idea?

Speaking only for myself as another one who saw 1883, one of the most interesting things about it was that it was a limited series. It told a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end in 10 episodes. It's still part of a larger ongoing narrative (the Yellowstone Saga I guess), but 1883 was a brief untold chapter with many characters you weren't sure were going to make it out alive.
