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 watched one episode of the Orville and I need Seth MacFarlane to tone down his makeup until it no longer overshadows that of the creatures from the other planets.

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.

That's the one thing that the miserably cursed Star Trek 5 had in it's favor.
Shatner wasn't afraid to take chances.
If I'm ever blessed with the chance of meeting him, I'd ask to shake his hand to thank him for what he did with Star Trek 5.
And, of course, for Kingdom of the Spiders.

I'm trying to not have expectations, good or bad, and just let the show speak for itself, but the reviews are making it hard for me to not have low expectations.

I am trying to like The Orville, too, but it's what I thought it would be. I'll give it some more time, but...

As it is, I get my SciFi fix from Star Trek Voyager reruns while waiting for the next season of Star Wars Rebels to start.

It is a cartoon, but I've really enjoyed the first few seasons so far.

It's so good that I'm somewhat depressed that Disney produces it. Thankfully, they haven't messed it up...yet.

Hopefully, I'll say the same thing about Star Trek Discovery.

If Discovery is at least as good as Enterprise was, I'll be happy. I liked Star Trek: Enterprise.
