NotWearingPants posted:I saw one episode of the Orville and two episodes of the new Star Trek and my hot take is that the new Star Trek was better. If you like TNG era star trek give Orville another shot. It takes a couple episodes to find its groove, but then it is good. They could be in the same universe, almost. The Enterprise as the flagship of the fleet with all the most capable officers, and the Orville as just another a midsize whatever ship with average people working on it. A ship full of Reginald Barclays.

SPACE HOMOS posted:On the other hand Orville's episode that was directed by Frakes was excellent. oh my god it makes so much sense that Frakes directed that one. I actually think it was the weakest since the pilot but still good. Frakes loves love interest stuff.

The Romulan/Klingon talk makes me sort of wonder something that maybe has been directly explained on the show: Was the Khitomer attack really just a means for the Duras family eliminate rival powers within the Empire without anyone being able to link them to it? Maybe the assumption that the House Mogh would be effectively crippled/destroyed through a combination of the attack costing them not only lives, but their reputation. With idea that if the house was effectively destroyed, weakened or discredited enough that the other Klingon houses (or specifically House Duras) would simply downplay any notion of retribution for the attack over time on the basis it was focused solely on a no-longer-relevant House and those that might have been seen as under their protection at the time. (In addition, of course, to the eventual framing of the House of Mogh on the attack, eventually.)

Staffing shortages causing them to dip into undesirable but qualified officers even makes sense if the show's set post-DS9/Voyager, after the losses from the Dominion War.

Man season 7 for DS9 sure has a weird vibe to it. Maybe it's the whole paw wraith thing, I can't put my finger on it. Luckily any scene with Waiun in it saves it.

SPACE HOMOS posted:The last episode was really bad. With great characters like rear end in a top hat security officer "I'm an rear end in a top hat! I say bad things to the main character!!" while the main character does something stupid to move the plot forward. Then at the end the camera goes to every no name character celebrating. It was just awful pretty much the whole way through. So many stupid things in one episode made me loving speechless. Oh boy better save the mine that provides literally half of our fuel source (which it really isnt you hack fraud writers) because we forgot to protect it in any way shape or form! Oh lets let death bug out and shoot it with phasers we know dont work! Oh poo poo im dead, great work! Lets manipulate only sympathetic other character on the ship to tell if deathbug is actually a bad thing or actually a computer! Great idea! FFFFFFFFUUUCK. There are literally zero relatable or likeable characters in the entire show and if the ship blew up in the next episode I would struggle to care.

Imagine, one month ago, someone asking you which sci-fi series would go on to feature a ship whose navigation was controlled by an alien connected to the computer through nipple clamps. Would you answer with Seth MacFarlane's The Orville or Star Trek: Discovery?

Did anyone else get a (new) DOOM vibe from the lab sets on Discovery this episode? Like I dunno the lighting and metal-gray walls gave me a UAC vibe off the whole thing. Maybe it's just me being a dipshit, I dunno.

Watchin' episode 4 and its still Klingon throat-talk and Times New Roman subtitles. Its going to be this way for the rest of the series isnt it? gently caress. Don't these assholes know everyone watches this crap with at least a smartphone in hand? I'm not going to be paying attention to this bullshit for season after season. What happens when other aliens show up? 3/4rs of the show becomes Reading Rainbow? Someone please teach the klingons their ABCs.

I love Dr. Roy Jones Jr. Impersonator's cattyness. Kill the rest of the crew and give him and Scientist Man shared command of a starship. Because Captain Lorca is as exciting as a stale rye bread.
