"The last time I trusted you, I needed an abortion"
"Boldly Going Nowhere" is a TV pilot that wasn't picked up by any network and I found it on YouTube. After watching, I think I understand why it failed...it was incredibly unfunny and crude. Interestingly, a few years later, "The Orville" would air and it gained quite a following...and was very similar but with a larger budget.
"Boldly Going Nowhere" is set aboard a space cargo ship a century and a half from now. The ship consists of a crew of total idiots...so stupid that you wonder how they could pilot a ship, let alone find their navels. They simply were too stupid and incompetent to be funny. Imagine, a ship where everyone is more of a buffoon than Homer Simpson! It's supposed to be a comedy and most of the jokes are crude and unfunny...such as the abortion comment above. Some things, abortions, cancer, pedophilia, etc. Simply cannot be funny...but the writers of this show thought otherwise.
The bottom line is that this show is incredibly unfunny and pretty distasteful. The show didn't stand a chance based on the writing, unlikable characters and illogical plot. It also lacked heart...and reason to CARE about the captain or crew.
