PrivateBiscuit1 10/05/17 9:27:15 PM #1:	Like, I thought it would end up decent, even if Family Guy humor isn't my thing, but I bothered to start watching this episode tonight. It's not funny. Like, there's more drama than humor in this, by far. But the worst part is that the drama is really, really bad. It's derivative of any Star Trek episode ever, except worse in every way. What a bad, bad show. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! <cite>PrivateBiscuit1 posted [p:887891087] in Orville is...

CoolCly 10/05/17 10:47:37 PM #16:	from what i understand it's a better star trek than discovery I've only seen the first episode of Discovery and I can probably buy that. This first episode makes no sense. This main character makes no sense Michael: We gotta kill all the klingons first Literally every character: That seems like a bad idea. Are you sure this isn't just you being mad about klingons killing your family or whatever? Michael: Of course not. I 'm completely logical. I'm practically a Vulcan or something.

StealThisSheen 10/05/17 10:50:28 PM #17:	CoolCly posted... from what i understand it's a better star trek than discovery I'd actually agree with this. The third episode of Discovery was probably better than most of the Orville episodes in overall quality, but it really didn't feel like Star Trek. Orville, whatever you think of the quality, screams Star Trek at every turn, and that's what I like about it. I'm not gonna sit here and say it's a great show, but I wanted something campy like the original Star Trek and that's exactly what it is, so I'm entertained by it. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

The issue was that I thought everything basically went along like I expected it to like it didn't take me long to figure out what was going to happen etc. Yeah, some of it is because I know where in the timeline about it takes place and some star trek lore.

scarletspeed7 10/05/17 11:09:20 PM #23:	I enjoyed Star Trek. My parents enjoyed The Orville. I go visit them on Mondays, and we watch a lot of TV they wouldn't watch otherwise and we've compromised on watching both. This is what my parents watch in order of how much they like it: -Lucifer (Everyone's favorite) -Flash (Mom likes Harrison Wells and Joe, Dad likes Harrison Wells and Barry) -Curb Your Enthusiasm (Dad hates, Mom loves, but Dad quotes it all the time, so I think he just says he hates it) -Star Trek: Discovery (Everyone enjoys it) -Legends of Tomorrow (Dad loves Heatwave, Mom likes the Atom ["he's cute"]) -Arrow (Mom is so bored with it but Dad enjoys it) -The Orville (I dislike it, Mom sleeps through it but says she likes it, Dad likes it, reminds him of "old Star Trek") -Designated Survivor (Not sure why we're watching this) On hiatus: American Crime Story, The Good Fight My parents would likely watching nothing if I didn't interject myself in their lives. But they have a capacity to surprise me; my Mom actually loved South Park. Remember that my mom is a music director at a church, so it's kind of amazing at the range of what she'll watch. My dad just started Game of Thrones this summer and we sneak in an episode here or there if my mom makes a dinner. Anyways, that's my traditional Monday; I don't get to see my parents too often otherwise. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:887896989] in Orville is...

I don't really mind them having a totally different formula, but it just feels like it's aping the storytelling style of something like GoT except with one viewpoint character.
