The Stone Age Tribe on a Banned Island You Can't Visit

ChaosEngine says...

*fascinating. There is a real-life Star Trek Prime Directive thing happening here.

Obviously, we don't want to introduce disease to these people, but I'm pretty sure we have some stuff (medicine, plumbing, refrigeration, Stephen Colbert, etc) that would make their lives better. Interesting ethical conundrumm.

Isaac Gives Claire Parenting Advice | Orville S1E8

Guys, try up to episode 3 and then decide. Episodes 3 and up got way better with less humor. It is like old Star Trek TNG, etc.

I thought the same thing after episode 1. It was bad enough that I gave up on it right there.

The Adorkable Misogyny of The Big Bang Theory

ChaosEngine says...

I'm a total self-confessed geek. I play video games, I like sci-fi, Star Wars AND Star Trek and I was even given a Lego Saturn V for my 40th by my friends who are also geeks. Hell, I work as a computer programmer.

I should find this show hilarious.

But I hate it.

Aside from the creepy undertones, it's a really tired stereotype. Yeah, I'm a geek and I like geek things, but I'm also a martial artist, a snowboarder and a mountain biker. And the same is true of all my "geek" friends. The idea that just because you like comic books means you're Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons hasn't been true for decades.

I literally don't know anyone like the characters on this show (and that's not "none of my friends are like this", that's "I don't think many people like this exist").

I never liked the show for exactly the reasons this video talks about. I could never articulate it as well it as it did.
Best I could say is it makes fun OF nerds and geeks, not WITH.

Nichelle Nichols on filming the first interracial kiss

Buck says...

*promote for those who are being ushered in to the Star Trek universe with discovery. It is an iconic franchise that helped shape society.

ORVILLE S1E3: The Crew Preps For A Wild Wild West Showdown

You keep posting these, Ant.

I don't get the appeal. It's not funny enough to be a parody, but it's not unique enough to stand as an homage or a furthering of the Star Trek idea. The Orville is just hack writing, cutting as close to the copyright law as they can sneak without getting sued (they hope).

Orville: Ed & Kelly Argue About Their Past Marriage To Krill

newtboy says...

To me, they're trying to appeal to everyone by being serious and comedic at the same time. I hate that. I'll give them one more shot, but I don't have high hopes. Too bad, with Star Trek being subscription only, we need another decent sci-fi series on tv. I had hoped this would be it....and I had hoped it would be a comedy....not a comedy/drama. I usually think those fail on both fronts.

To me, it got better. It had an ethical plot/story like old Star Trek with some humor. I guess you wouldn't like it if you don't like both. I am enjoying the series so far.

Was it any better? Episode 1 sucked hard, and commercials made episode 2 look worse.
I felt it suffered from the McFarlane curse, by which I mean when he's in a live action movie, he's just not that funny and always has to insert some touchy feely or serious storyline that destroys the comedy.
Seth....be funny, or be serious. You can't be both, and trying makes you neither.

Orville: Ed & Kelly Argue About Their Past Marriage To Krill

OverLord says...

I just watched the first episode. I am unsure how to feel. I mean, they are trying to be funny, but also trying to be serious.

I dunno, I think I prefer either pure "Star Trek" or pure "Galaxy Quest".
