Set roughly ten years before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series, the show sees the Klingon T'Kuvma look to unite the 24 great Klingon houses, leading to a cold war between his race and the United Federation of Planets that involves the crew of the USS Discovery. Though will be available through regular TV for the first two episodes but after that then on CBS' own streaming service CBS All Access. Really hope this works as I am getting Stargate Universe vibes with the latest trailer. | ||

I liked what I saw for the most part, but I couldn't stand the Klingons, not because they were different but because they talked so slowly and that annoyed me a lot. The prosthetic must be a pain for the actors so Im not blaming them. Hopefully they down down the lens flares too. I know Im nitpicking, but I've dropped shows for less negatives. Other than that I liked it. | ||

Main problem of this ST show is the main character as it is an unlikeable character and the actress is terrible (and was in The Walking Dead as well). I would have prefered if the main character was the captain instead. She is a better actress and has a much better screen presence. Also her character is more likeable. | ||

What orville did at the end of.the last episode showed a lot of bravery that you dont see.from shows and it was closer to star trek then this first episode. The captian was a lot better character then the main. Is the main character the same one as was depicted in the vulcan flashback? So shes spock now? The worst part was.without a doubt the science officers line.about seeing death approch. Its emblematic of terrible forward planning to boil down a races existance as being equivalent to quasi psychic guard dogs. Well.that and the + Show Spoiler + 30 second poorly planned.and.execuited mutiny I mean shes going to be killed for.that right? | ||

Don't particularly care about the change in Klingon appearance, but I hope their general personality as a species isn't changed too much from the original. They've clearly established the Klingon honor and war themes, but a huge part of Klingon's is also their love of having a good time/drinking/partying/story telling etc. | ||

Why does the main character have to be some super gifted person who knows everything better than the entire bridge combined? Isn't Star Trek supposed to be about a range of characters with different perks that compliment each other? Also they managed to make a spaceship fleet battle without tension. After watching The Expanse this series is just so much lower quality and hard to watch. | ||

Its crude but you have to admire the balls of a show thats able to pull off a baby sex change story + Show Spoiler + and actually pull the trigger on transitioning the baby to male from female. | ||

Certainly looking forward to more episodes now. I found episode 3 disturbing. Defnitly interresting, but zero star trek vibes. Episode 4 of Orville was straight up ripped out of 90s TNG, love it more and more. | ||

I think a lot of the vibe difference is simply by location (Discovery is during war) + the possibility that we might be on a "Section 31" vessel. Big monster might have been a supersized tardigrad from the spores which would be awesome in itself.I like science nods. | ||

I always felt that star trek had this unique role in television to discuss ethics and paint a positive picture of the future. Though discarding this opportunity is a travesty, I think I could enjoy the show more with the perspective you offer. Thank you. | ||
