I was thinking more like they just say it’s Star Trek but make the show identical to Firefly.
It was a reference about how Disco wasn’t anything like Trek other than they called it Star Trek. A similar thing was done with Foundation and Dirk Gently. It’s not like Dirk Gently was bad. I really liked it. But it had absolutely nothing in common with the books.
The mistake Whedon made was not slapping Star Trek or Star Wars branding on it. They could have gotten 5 seasons like Disco.
Captain Reynolds wouldn’t do well in Starfleet, though I suppose you could make him Maquis

Gotcha. Haven’t seen Discovery, so I didn’t realize it was not really a trek show
