It's as much Star Trek as the unofficial Trek movie Galaxy Quest. Doesn't matter if the characters and universe are different, it's got the same vibe to fit in.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie

[–] 7of9@startrek.website 13 points 11 months ago (11 children)

Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.

The Orville has more Star Trek Vibe than most recent official shows

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

More than Discovery. Somewhat less than SNW. Not even close to Lower Decks.

[–] nicoweio@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

A few years back, it was true, though. Picard…

This show is so freaking Star Trek that it out-Star Treks the Star Trek.

[–] Here4CatPics@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

When that second episode of the first season dropped I said the same thing to a friend that's a die hard Star Trek fan. They weren't enjoying the new Trek, yet, but wanted the thought provoking episodes now, action later/sprinkled in

[–] HedonismB0t@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Totally agree, it's definitely more Star Trek than any of the new Star Trek series.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I heard the review "better Trek than Trek".

When are we getting the Wilbur TV show? That's what I want to know.

[–] Here4CatPics@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

it's been a long road . . . .

We definitely do need that show...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm actually surprised there isn't, as far as I know, a modern high-budget miniseries about the Wright brothers. It seems like such an obvious biography subject.

[–] negativenull@startrek.website 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I know. They could easily do it now, and potentially very well. It seems like a slam dunk.

So which one of those guys is Orville?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This makes sense, we all remember Katherine Voyager Janeway

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or the Jean-Luc The-New-Generation Picard

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 11 months ago

It all started with James "Star" Trek Kirk.

The Orville literally made me give Star Trek an actual try. I think of it as my first series of Trek.

Orville was such an aimless show in the beginning. Obviously it started out going for campy comedy parody but it honestly wasn't hitting the mark on the comedy often enough. I'm stalled out somewhere in early Season 3--not because I wasn't enjoying it, I think it's actually gotten pretty good by that point, but just time and other commitments.

[–] driving_crooner 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I prefer the first seasons that they didn't take the show too seriously. The last ones (or last one?) Was way too dense, with episodes way too long that got be bored at half episode every time.

[–] Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I agree, earlier seasons had the right balance

I had the opposite experience lol! I really liked the first season, season 2 started off pretty well, but I lost interest before I got to season 3. It felt like the later episodes were either too preachy, or too focused on trying to make the characters "cool" instead of funny. I just wasn't enjoying it any more
