Saw it, liked it. It scratches the TNG itch and does things its own way. Also, I don't remember seeing a show so divisive yet, and the RT score is a good example. I guess I'm happy that TV sci-fi can be both plentiful and varied enough to make people angry.

From the AMA:

Well, after the audience response, we have a good shot at sticking around.

Loved it. Simple as that.

I'm really enjoying The Orville. Guess I missed TNG a lot. Looking forward to a rewatch of season one the moment it ends.

gently caress the grim dark Trek.

It’s a warning signal. Such an incoherent episode may mean the show runners are sleeping at the wheel and we’re moving into SG-1 quality territory - not a bad thing maybe, but Orville so far made some very good showings as a proper sci-fi series. There’s also a slim chance they’re telling a story here - perhaps the Planetary Union and Mercer are not that as competent as we assume, and this planet will evolve into a new, scorned enemy. I wouldn’t hold my breath, though.

What a sweet ep. Sure, it was a re-used plot premise, but it was just so pleasant and entertaining. This is the episode I'd show my mum to get her into this show - TNG was probably the last trek she saw.

Also, same week the other show had time crystals and guy who's both eyes were poked out by needles. :ohno:

There’s enough of an established universe to feed comics and spin-offs. While it’s unlikely he’ll ever be able to get the whole cast together, he has lots of options.
