It's as much Star Trek as the unofficial Trek movie Galaxy Quest. Doesn't matter if the characters and universe are different, it's got the same vibe to fit in.

Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.

The Orville has more Star Trek Vibe than most recent official shows

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

More than Discovery. Somewhat less than SNW. Not even close to Lower Decks.

This show is so freaking Star Trek that it out-Star Treks the Star Trek.

When that second episode of the first season dropped I said the same thing to a friend that's a die hard Star Trek fan. They weren't enjoying the new Trek, yet, but wanted the thought provoking episodes now, action later/sprinkled in

Totally agree, it's definitely more Star Trek than any of the new Star Trek series.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I heard the review "better Trek than Trek".

When are we getting the Wilbur TV show? That's what I want to know.

We definitely do need that show...

I'm actually surprised there isn't, as far as I know, a modern high-budget miniseries about the Wright brothers. It seems like such an obvious biography subject.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I know. They could easily do it now, and potentially very well. It seems like a slam dunk.

The Orville literally made me give Star Trek an actual try. I think of it as my first series of Trek.

So which one of those guys is Orville?

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

This makes sense, we all remember Katherine Voyager Janeway

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

Or the Jean-Luc The-New-Generation Picard

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

It all started with James "Star" Trek Kirk.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

They're standing inside him.

Orville was such an aimless show in the beginning. Obviously it started out going for campy comedy parody but it honestly wasn't hitting the mark on the comedy often enough. I'm stalled out somewhere in early Season 3--not because I wasn't enjoying it, I think it's actually gotten pretty good by that point, but just time and other commitments.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

I prefer the first seasons that they didn't take the show too seriously. The last ones (or last one?) Was way too dense, with episodes way too long that got be bored at half episode every time.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I agree, earlier seasons had the right balance

I had the opposite experience lol! I really liked the first season, season 2 started off pretty well, but I lost interest before I got to season 3. It felt like the later episodes were either too preachy, or too focused on trying to make the characters "cool" instead of funny. I just wasn't enjoying it any more
