I’ll give it a chance. These two care about telling a good story while being faithful to the subject matter. That said, their entire resume is jokey movies, which works well for something like D&D but not so well for Star Trek. I wonder if they’ll be able to go in a new professional direction and tamp down on that… or if they were hired for that, since Paramount seems to think Star Trek needs to be more Buffy the Vampire Slayer than TOS or TNG.
That said, part of the reason DS9 was so great in later seasons and so rough and uneven in earlier ones was because the drama was fantastic in later seasons and the comedy was so awful in early ones. So who knows, maybe there’s a chance to strike a balance and not have it come out as shallow as the 2009 movie.
