I've watched 1 ep beyond that one (perhaps 2 - when did the "Blue man" show up again?) and it was by far the worst.

So far, to me at least, this is a very ST-NG show with comedy added.

I think it does a good job of pointing out social issues ST might run into, while confronting our own, and NOT taking a preachy side.

Star Trek has always been a "morality tale", which is why the Abrams produced movies and even Enterprise have missed the mark.
Your second point is what more people need to realize. Star Trek isn't a "run around shoot 'em up" kind of franchise. I am intrigued but worried about this Tarantino project that may get off the ground.

Unrelated to your comment, but I wanted to hate The Orville because I'm really not entertained by most of SM's humor, but the show has some great writing and characters despite some stupid sophomoric jokes. I will agree that there are a few low brow jokes that do hit the mark pretty well.

I know this will appear nitpicky to most, but I really wish they would have explained that Ed and Gordon met during a history class of the late 20th century or something. Most of the jokes are based on pop culture from this era, after all.

It wasn't great and it wasn't terrible. The Doctor was a bit hypocritical in her actions. Stab the guy that basically saved her and then shoot him. Really? Maybe use something in the medical bag to incapacitate him and then escape?

Very predictable and would the Captain really risk the entire ship and crew to go through a rift which could result in them being destroyed for two crew members and two badly behaved children?

At least they are trying to keep the episodes diverse and not be Kirk/Spock/McCoy each week. Not that it was a bad thing.

And thankfully, NO WHESLEY!!!!!!!!!

The last episode was hilarious. More than a little disturbing, but also hilarious. Interesting take on the Ilia character from the first Star Trek movie.

I either didn't notice the credits or it wasn't there, but almost immediately I realized the blue alien was played by Rob Lowe. Great casting choice.

This series seems to get better every episode. Loved the last one...characters were spot on and the plot was cool. Standing on the shoulders of the next generation.

I dont normally go for this type stuff. I am not a Trekkie or a Star Wars fanboy but I like this show. It moves along fast has some humor makes you think with a moral to the story. I hope they can keep it up without going off the rails because as it is now its a winner.

Okay, I’m sure Seth MacFarlane sold Fox on “The Orville” by telling them it would be “like ‘Galaxy Quest’ but raunchy”. But instead he’s made a show that’s both funny as well as thought provoking and intelligent and as scientific as any “Trek”. The season ender was hilarious and horrifying and allegorical and scientifically out-there all at once, and still had room for human emotion. Compared to his other works like “Ted” and “Family Guy”, this show is like if Weird Al wrote a symphony to rival Beethoven’s 5th.
