Bank Robber, who is a much bigger Star Trek fan than I ever will be, agreed with me that The Orville is a better Star Trek show than Star Trek Discovery. My lovely wife agrees with him as well. (She too is a huge Star Trek fan versus my love for Star Wars.)

The last two episodes of The Orville have covered whether a child is born a gender or grows into a gender, and whether the child would be better off being a boy versus a girl in a male dominated society. Much like the one we exist in today.

The second episode asked whether ignorance is bliss, and if a backwards society should be forced into progressiveness or fail to evole and possibly become extinct.

The first three episodes of Star Trek Discovery have covered a human raised by Vulcans doing stupid and illogical things over and over again. Bit the specialeffects are gorgeous.

I'm not saying that Seth MacFarlane is the greatest writer of all time, but he's created a Star Trek show that pays homage to Trek more than an official Star Trek show. It's kind of amazing.
