    -Captain Tardigrade defender of the multiverse has a girlfriend,now

    -I don't care if a series has a source of inspiration from a non-trek game or web series,as long if this is a good source ,but the game TARDIGRADES and the disgusting Youtube series CAPTAIN TARDIGRADE , DEFENDER OF THE MULTIVERSE are not something a normal human being should ever watch,how can you people be so low ,morbid and disgusting..?!?

    Bugs Bunny?

    No way Bugs Bunny. Definitely Wiley Coyote. I LIKED IT.

    I was really excited to see this...

    A cartoon about a Tardigrade..I was expecting it to be about star trek and for it to have a somewhat serious nature...But this bugs bunny thing was not working for me. It wasn't even scientifically correct in the star trek universe...

    A mockery of the continuity of the franchise ... and boooring

    Terrible problems of continuity, lousely narrated. The characters produce more disgust than grace and it is impossible to become fond of them. No wonder it looks like Discovery at all. Zero respect for everything that has already been done on Star Trek for over 40 years.

    • Trivia
      During the scene showing the destruction of the Enterprise from Star Trek III, the registry number marks the Enterprise as its successor the NCC-1701-A. It should have just read "NCC-1701" since it was the original Enterprise that had had a major overhaul.

      The main function of the deflector dish is to bounce objects out of the Enterprise's flight path at great distances, the exact opposite of having Ephraim's asteroid smashing into it.
