Captain James T. Kirk opens the original series of “Star Trek” with these immortal words: “Space: the final border. These are the traveling business trips. The Excellent “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” draws his title from the intro of Captain Kirk, but it is not the only show to draw inspiration from this opening narration (although you may be surprised to learn which series I am referring here).

In the wake of the dazzling success of season 3 “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, 20th Century Fox was interested in all that the creators of the series – Rob Mcelhenny, Glenn Howrton and Charlie Day – made cooked. Therefore, while appearing at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con (via Ign), the trio has announced that they were working on a series of science fiction comedies entitled “Audaciously Going Nowhere”, an ironic touch on the famous words of Kirk.

Their idea was to explode the signature humor of “It is always sunny in Philadelphia” in space with a parody “Star Trek” – in particular, which focused on workers at the bottom of the intergalactic totemic post. However, there was practically no word on the series itself in the years that followed. We would end up obtaining a show with a similar premise in the form of The great animated series “Star Trek: Lower Decks”, “ But for “always sunny” fans, the absence of updates on “go boldly nowhere” and its development was discouraging.

It was not until August 2022 that we were finally able to see two clips of the program pilot thanks to the “always sunny podcast”. Then, a month later, the entire program of the show was downloaded from Youtube, and the result was just as chaotic as you can imagine.

Looking at the pilot “elongated nowhere” will almost certainly give fans “always sunny” a feeling of already seen. Indeed, the creatives “Always Sunny” were able to transport the brand of Anarchy and the will of the show of the show and the desire to tackle taboo subjects with a joyful parody in their parody “Star Trek”. The pilot himself, that you can watch on YouTube with this link, Follows the exploits of Ronald Teague (Ben Koldyke) and his crew less than crack on the Spatial rock collector of the Galactic Coalition Coalition 7. But Teague, the real “always sunny” fashion, delusions of magnitude and seek to abandon their real mission in order to explore the stars.

The casting “Going Goo Aning Nowhere” presents many familiar faces, including actors from the first three seasons of “Always Sunny” and other television pillars. Example: David Hornsby, who plays jerky cricket by developing on “Always Sunny” And serves as an executive producer in the series, depicts the long -standing lieutenant of the ship launches Brigsby. Likewise, Artemis Pebdani embodies an extraterrestrial communications agent who is only slightly less twisted than his character “always sunny” and the lover of Frank Reynolds (Danny Devito), Artemis Dubois.

In addition, the matching members of the “Always Sunny” gang appear in a series of cameras only, probably because they wanted to save their actor energy for the flagship series. As such, Kaitlin Olsen embodies the unfaithful woman of Lieutenant Brigsby, Charlie Day presents herself as an intern who wants to “relax” in the Holodeck (if you know what I mean), and Rob Mcelhenny has a flashing role and you do not put the role of television as a pitchman. Meanwhile, Glenn Howrton has most of the lot, playing an inspector who climbs on board the Teague ship and quickly finds himself pushed to the edge by the incompetence of his crew.

Among the new faces of the pilot are the actor Lennon Parham, who plays the pilot of the ship and serves as a hetero. Finally, Tony Hale of the reputation of “Arrested Development” plays an Android trying to foment a revolt of the workers against Teague, and Oliver Platt (“the bear”) appears briefly as a supervisor of the ship.

It is not because “going daring nowhere” did not become a complete series that the pilot had no impact, because two of his stars finally went to Philadelphia. In fact, after being interpreted as the incompetent captain Teague, Koldyke later appeared in the episode “Always Sunny” “the gang exploits the mortgage crisis”.

The real MVP of “going boldly nowhere”, however, was Chad L. Coleman. Most of them will recognize him as Dennis “Cutty” Sage on “The Wire”, but he really opted for his performance as a Cobalt security chief in the pilot. Coleman really left nothing on the table, bringing a tense ferocity that makes his performance to see. It is not surprising while after “going to a daringly nowhere” managed to move forward, he found his way to “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” in season 6.

While the pilot “going daring nowhere” has a lot of fun taking the piss of science fiction tropes like Holodecks, put the phasers to stun “, and the realities of what the stars would look like, the episode is also clearly unfinished. Its special effects are quite non-refined and the sound design is not over for the big pieces of the execution (including the final line). of what could have been in an alternative reality.
