Liam Neeson...
Surprised they managed to get him as a guest appearance. I likey.
FOR DURALL!!
I was impressed, too. Get used to it because there are going to be more good guest stars in future episodes including in Episode 5. You may also want to check out the director's name.
shareOmg! Number 1 from TNG William Riker.
shareYes, he directs a lot of things. If you look at his IMDB page he has directed a lot of shows, mostly sci-fi stuff and sci-fi adjacent.
If you look at the directing credits for the series you will see
Jon Cassar - if you are familiar with the series "24" you will have seen his name many times
Brannon Braga - he has Star Trek written all over his resume
Jon Favreau - he directed Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Elf and many others
Robert Duncan McNeill - Lt. Paris from Star Trek Voyager. If you watch the Series Chuck he directed a lot of those.
I only listed the people I am familiar with. I am still not sure what i think of the show but I give it props for the the people they get to work behind the scenes.
