I’m so excited for this! I’m currently doing a rewatch of TNG and I just keep getting more excited!

I'm so perplexed by this. When I saw it announced I thought "it couldn't be the same Michael Chabon" - but clearly it is. Just really feels foolish to tap a guy as showrunner when he's never staffed on a show before, feels like a recipe for trouble.

Of course I wish them all the best and hope it'll be great.
