I finally got around to watching the first three episodes of Orville. I watched the 9 episodes of STD, and found it to be very Average, not as SJW as I thought it would be (especially compared to NuWho nowadays...), but was very bored and found it quite generic. Episode 7 was the only episode I felt was "fun".

Now with the Orville, I really enjoyed the first three episodes, despite finding a lot of the jokes hit and miss. The characters are incredibly likeable, and the production values, while low, are very appealing somehow, reminds me a lot of TNG, which I watched when I was younger (though haven't since).

I heard a lot of people say that Orville is SJW, like Dave Cullen (early on at least): youtube.com/watch?v=br_vHZjLDK8

I didn't find it to be SJW really at all, not even the third episode about the Moclan baby being born female instead of male (and having her sex changed to male at the end). I only saw some of TNG, but I know that there was an episode with the exact same plot. It felt very much a part of the universe, and told a compelling story that wasn't too preachy...unlike NuWho.

So what do you guys think? I merely thought STD was painfully average, but Orville from what I can tell is a lot of fun.

P.S. Am I a heathen for preferring Alara with Eyebrows?

Orville is the best new show of 2017 on any platform.

I like both. DISCO obviously isnt the comfy Trek template, but it is exciting and did a good job setting up several interesting dynamics. The Orville is very comfy and classic, and you're about to watch two of the best episodes in 4-5, where it really picked up imo. I hope both continue for a number of seasons honestly. That said, I hope they kill the DISCO doctor off, he's a weak link, his line delivery is atrocious.

Here's the difference between STD and The Orville: they're both literally garbage

STD is so unpleasant in so many levels,the aesthetic makes me want to puke and the characters all deserve to die.

The problem with STD is it's ignoring that it is supposed to be star trek and just making shit up every episode, I like the action though, Orville just have more sci fi style stories and good waifus

>the aesthetic makes me want to puke and the characters all deserve to die.

omg really, no hyperbole?

>but I know that there was an episode with the exact same plot
not really, that TNG episode was more like an analogue to the conversion therapy debate, where as the Orville episode is more closely related to performing surgery on intersex babies, but obviously could be broadened to the children using HRT debate

>omg really, no hyperbole?
no,not really,the constan shaking of the camera and the lens flares mixed with those grim colours make me dizzy.
as for the characters,they are all mean and take horrible decisions in a situation of life or death,so yes,they metaphorically and practically deserve to die.

Orville is a stealth hit because non live viewers are watching the fuck out of it

Even it's live ratings put it as #2 on Fox. So it was always a safe bet for renewal.

>just making shit up every episode
No really, it's mushroom warp drive. Aren't our writers just SUUUUPER clever?

Hey man, I like both shows. What are some other shows that you like/hate so I can understand where you're coming from?

Spock knew about them in 1969

Orville was made with love and care and it shows.

Is Orville's season over or did they just skip last week?

really liked it also, really well adapted, gave me a lot more respect for mcfarlane, i hope they get more budget next season

it's over

what is STD ? ungoogleable word

skipped last week because of thanksgiving
back this week and finale is the week after

>mfw when they call Discovery 'STD'
>mfw when they call Voyager 'STV'
>mfw when they call Deep Space Nine 'STDS9'

DISfags get dissed.

Why do you care if we call it STD?

because it triggers his autism

Don't you DARE answer for me you MOTHER FUCKER. Don't you fucking dare.

Autism

NO! It's not autism. I'm just sick and fucking tired of you ALT-RIGHT loosers calling it STD and I don't appreciate someone answering a question DIRECTED towards ME.
