Your thoughts on The Orville?
(lemmy.world)
When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by season 2 I found myself loving this show.
To me it seems as every bit as comfy, intellectually interesting and even funny as some classic Star Treks while still clearly being its own thing. I wish more comfy space shows like this would get made.
What are your thoughts on The Orville? Also I miss Alara.
I was in the same boat as you until recently. I was burned so bad from Discovery and Picard I just couldn't go through it again. I heard all the good things, but still I just couldn't get around to it. I'm so glad I finally did. I know there is some recency bias but I think I would go so far as to say Captain Pike is my favorite Captain now...
Damn it's like you know me LMAO. I swear I will check it out soon.
I bet it was common in the Trek community. I guess the positive side is you have two seasons to be able to binge when you finally get around to it.
