All I have to say is that it was just okay. I was expecting a more Galaxy Quest style of show however it really is just Star Trek with Seth and company. Too much concentration on the two main characters failed relationship.
The first season or two of Next Generation was pretty meh as well. At least we don't have the super wiz kid saving the day each week. I like the idea of a bright future instead of the bleak one that the reboot and DS9 had. Maybe it will get better, maybe someone will actually punch Seth in the face a few times. I'd like it if they could go a little more Farscape... |

Just watched it on the DVR. It was okay. I chuckled a few times, but I have to admit, I was expecting more funny.
It will be interesting to see if it can hang around long enough to get into a groove. |

I mean, it was the pilot episode. The timing isn't there yet with the actors, nor is the writing. It was entertaining enough for me to go back and see where it goes. I wasn't expecting Yesterday's Enterprise level of good or anything.

Didn't think it was as bad as some are saying. Yes, it's a bit more of a serious take than expected. But, honestly, "Galaxy Quest" has already been done so they have to do more than make it "Ted or Family Guy in Space". The effects are honestly better than anything from the Trek TV universe, Adrianne Palicki was really good in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", the woman playing the doctor was good as the last police captain on "Castle"... it probably won't last with it's strange mix of serious and lowball humor but, as was said, I do like its take of "regular joes in space". As much as I loved the Trek TV shows, they were just so serious and full of themselves for the most part.

Just finished watching it. I really enjoyed it. Wasn't perfect, but it was fun.

I want Seth to find his footing because of what Paramount is doing to Trek's actual franchise.
I'm gonna wait and see with this one. |

I never thought there would be a more boring show than Star Trek Next Generation - the Orville as set a new bar.
