Maybe they had a bunch of actors lying around with no work? Why not make another remake, of a remake, of a remake, of a remake?

I wonder if they spotted that? Star Trek Discovery. Watched it. Very underwhelming. Why did they have to change the Klingons? Again? What purpose does that serve but to disconnect the universe continuity. Further, it was all FX and action and oddly placed flashbacks. Not great, bit boring. Still, might be better when they get to the Discovery and Jason Isaacs - a great actor. Still think The Orville is better.

It's not off to a good start, and I agree on the Klingon reboot. They'd have been better off introducing a different adversary species, (or asking Larry Niven if they could re-introduce the Kzinti they used in the old animated series!) I've been watching the old Legends of the Galactic Heroes series- even though it's late 80's animation, the writing is top-notch, and inspired by history (reminiscent of H B Piper, Anderson, or Pournelle). A reboot of that is due next year.

Watched about 10 mins. of Orville, seemed to me like a soap.

I don't think it is: I think it's a offshoot, of a reboot, of a remake, of a remake. It's bound to be different from the original, if only because our user interface technology has vastly surpassed the Original Series UI of clunking individual switches, and having anything worse than ours would be totally unbelievable1. And having aliens that look a bit less like a human in yet another rubber mask has got to be good - the original Klingons didn't even have rubber masks! :laugh: Mind you, I haven't seen it yet, except for trailers. 1 - unless it had "iStarFleet" on it, in which case I'd prefer the clunky switches, please.

I hear you. However, I am done with Star Trek. It is all just noise to me now. So everything sounds like a remake of a reboot of a remake of a reboot - whether I am correct or not (probably not). :)

Yes - it was ok; a little confused but well done. None of his stories read that well so translating them for video is always going to be difficult.

Didn't get a chance to watch it last night; my wife has a meeting to tonight I do not need to attend. I will try to watch it and then make a determination. If it is better than Star Trek: Voyager, then that is a start.

Wonder if a spoof of this would work? A bigger and badder switch for everything! Could call it Star Trek Clunkery. :laugh:

(By accident?) I watched The Orville - a knockoff series. A good starting scene is followed by two more episodes of near complete predictability and childish dialog. What comes to mind? Millennials, this is for you!

So it wasn't just me? Lots of funny once dialog replicated three or four times. I give it maybe 6 episodes, and it's done. Sort of an unfunny Galaxy Quest.

Orville is pretty bad. STD was okay, but how long before they kill of Yeoh?

I was looking very forward to watching it... But instead, I have Oprah and 60-freaking-Minutes taped. The epitome of "who cares"!
