Old Wounds

I'm late to the party, watching this for the first time in 2020 and I had tears rolling down my cheeks by the end of the first episode. This is so much better than the grey unwatchable sludge of Discovery and Picard. It looks like real Star Trek, is definitely sounds like real Star Trek with a fantastic evocative score, and the episodic format is like real Star Trek. The humor is great... It's Seth MacFarlane after all. But this is absolutely NOT a parody of Star Trek... it's Star Trek with likeable, funny characters acting in relatable ways. It's so well written, so well made.

It's a genuine crime that so few people have been able to see it, and that critics and networks have unfairly ganged up against it in favor of promoting the abysmal Discovery and Picard. Much love to Seth MacFarlane. Thank you so much for making this. It's one of my favorite shows of all time.

It's a "love letter" to Star Trek by a mega fan. The series just gets better and better as it moves forward. Love the cast, the way the show looks and the humor.

You could easelly think that this is a star trek parody but if you do you ignore much of the other qualities this new series has to offer and it would be an easy way of giving critic . The series has also good special effects , the designs are creative and original ( i loved the first scenes with the new york skyline ) and the humor so far is good What i like abouth it is it takes itself not to seriously and political correct nonsence is (thank god ) absent .

you can clearly see this series is a far better tribute to star trek than star trek discovery is , and the humor makes it a bit unique and that what makes it different than the old star trek series . I have only seen this first episode but i am positively suprised .

Despite being a fan of Star Trek and Galaxy Quest, I didn't have any initial interest in watching the Orville. The trailer just didn't sell me on the show and the low Rotten Tomatoes score also didn't help.

Never-the-less, I decided to give the Orville a chance after some friends surprisingly recommended the show. I'm glad I did because I really like it!

I believe the trailer, which focused on the comedy, was a mistake. I think they were trying to sell the show to fans of Seth McFarlane and Family Guy. Unfortunately, it attracted the wrong crowd.

The show is not purely a comedy. The show deals with ethical dilemmas and sci-fi ideas. It is really a good homage to original Trek. In my opinion, the humor is often its weakest part.

Despite a few flaws, mainly with the comedy, I highly recommend checking out the show.

I enjoyed this episode. I believe The Orville may become an alternative to space shows, which includes irony and certain parody to star trek Although not a fan, I'm prepared to give it a shot.
