I thought Orville was bad, but then...

I watched the latest Discovery episode and.. It's still not growing on me. It is JJ trek.

The Orville on the other hand is getting better and better. The 4th episode was TNG imo.

Feel the exact oppersite of this.

Orville already started getting boreing around the 4th episode.

While the more Discovery I watched the better I liked it.

Ok. I just watched the first 5 minutes of The Orville Season 1 Ep.2. I couldn't watch any further, because it was unbearable. Badly written jokes dragged out to make sure the audience gets there is supposedly a very funny thing happening on screen.

And the new ST series is even worse? I can't imagine how.

tastes vary, but I agree.... not sure what people in this thread see in Orville, after the 4th episode I dropped it.

ST discovery is much better imo.

 

I see a show that despite flaws is made with heart and passion to carry on Gene's vision and Treks legacy. We live in an age of cynicism, it is refreshing to have something bright about people trying to do what is right.

 

Discovery is an attempt to appeal to non Trek fans, similar to JJ Abrams 2009 reboot. It's fine if that brings in new people, but in doing so alienated old fans.  I get bored by mindless action and effects, I get invested in story and character.

 

I will take Orville as a nice substitute until I finally get a true third generation of Star Trek been waiting twenty years for.
