The Orville is pretty mid overall, though admittedly with some great episode in there, but boy does it really know how to prey on my nostalgia. Just look at it's opening titles. That ship design is so Trek without being Trek in the best possible way. I just wish it hadn't tried to be funny and took itself seriously instead.

I think the thing that makes most nostalgia baiting repellent is it doesn't understand what I'm nostalgic for, it just points at some intellectual property they bought that I used to like, looks to the camera and says "WOW ISN'T THAT EPIC". I want the spirit of the thing to be passed on in something new, not to be told the thing I like is cool and be invited to circle jerk over it.
