I like that Michelle Yeoh is in this, but I didn't realize McConnell had a role. (pictured far right)
Isn’t this the Star Trek where “Klingons = Trump” or some such nonsense?
Hard pass.
Kuck Trek.
If it turns out to be any good I'll be watching it by way of bittorrent.
Was not super impressed with the trailers. Fear they will just be trying to push a political agenda. We shall see.
No.
Will record it and watch later tonight or tomorrow.
I am rather surprised at The Orville on FOX. If Seth quit trying to be funny [which he isn’t], that show has the potential to be a decent dramatic series.
I’m expecting it to be a lot of PC indoctrination about how bug chasing and gift giving are good and Trump = Klingon = bad, but I’m going to give it a chance.
Been watching Seth MacFarlane’s “The Orville” and pleasantly pleased. Really like the ‘Original Series’ look & production style, not one lens flare so far. Plots are very Star Trekish and even with their rating falling some, I bumped it up to “Record Series” on my DVR—
Tonight, we get the premiere of “Star Trek: Discovery” on CBS after football. Will DVD to watch later yet I do not have much hope it will be anything but a second-rate PC take with lens flares and gay characters galore. The uniforms in the clip are supposed to be from 10 years before the Original Series but they look too ST: The Motion Picture-ish for my taste or anywhere near Star Trek cannon for when the Enterprise captain was Robert April.
Speaking of cannon— Hell, Spock never ever mention an adopted sister but then again, he never previously mentioned the brother that took them to see God in Star Trek V.
Hope I am wrong and the series overcomes my expectation but not wagering the farm on it—
I will watch episode 1 tonight on cBS, but they are making me go to a Costa Rica link to watch the rest of them. It might take a day to view it, but they have it in HD AND commercial free.
First time they’ll have an openly gay couple...not just a gay character, but a gay couple. I heard a rumor about that, but did some googling and it’s true. That did it for me, I think I’ll skip it.
Nah, I'll pass. If I want PC sci-fi, I'll stick with "The Orville". It may be PC and cheesy, but it KNOWS it's PC and cheesy and has a little fun with it, IMHO.
I have extremely low expectations for this series and they get one episode.
On Twitter, Isaacs said that, if he had the ability, he would take a knee on the bridge of the USS Discovery. Isaacs plays the captain of the Discovery, Gabriel Lorca, on Star Trek: Discovery, which premieres tonight.
***********************************************************
What the hell am I missing here? Assuming ‘Gabriel’ is referring to a female officer which I’ve seen in previews and Isaacs refers to himself as a ‘he’ I’m totally lost. I’ve never heard of this paying to see the continuing episodes??????
Not paying CBS to watch anything.
Especially if they script her a girlfight, then the sound goes back on.
Sorry FRiend. Boycott in progress.
And now that they have two openly "homosexual" characters (come on folks, let's call them what they are) I certainly will not be watching it.
This thread is an example of conservative PC. How about watching the episode and then comment. And no i won’t pay to watch the rest of it.
