When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by season 2 I found myself loving this show.

To me it seems as every bit as comfy, intellectually interesting and even funny as some classic Star Treks while still clearly being its own thing. I wish more comfy space shows like this would get made.

What are your thoughts on The Orville? Also I miss Alara.

    The way I read this, what you are saying is that they made PIC so they can make even worse abominations in the future without being limited by classic Trek canon. That is horrible!

      They kinda went clean slate on tng stuff… It’s aweful if you’re out age… But to new trek fans, it’s the start of “their” era of trek.
