I'll be cautiously optimistic with a good bit of pessimism... *promote to see what others have to say.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Wednesday, May 17th, 2017 5:54pm PDT - promote requested by original submitter RFlagg.

The music kind of makes me think of the last two Deus Ex soundtracks, the rest reminds me of Mass Effect. That's not a criticism mind you, I like both of those.

The embed didn't work for me. I had to go here:

This looks like a science fantasy series with a star trek soundtrack.

Tentative.

Eh, weird. Klingons look so not Star Trek and I guess they are also ignoring the story about them losing their forehead ridges due to the Levodian flu cure. Of course it could be that those are some kind of separatists, but I doubt it.
Guess we have to wait and see. Also other things make it look like its the terrible JJA universe, which would indeed be a death sentence.
Not too thrilled about the lead actor (Captain) either. She is such a bland actor.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I can't believe they would geo-block this. I don't understand how marketing people can be so short-sighted.

I'm an old curmudgeon, but I don't think I'm going to like this. Acting felt weak and an over-reliance on the "look" over the characters, concepts and stories. Typical Hollywood over-produced schlock.

Hmm. I don't like the temporal setting, pre-TOS. As forward-thinking as TOS was for the 60s, bridge officers and brass clearly tended to be male. Now, pre-TOS, we've got a female Captain and 1st Officer on the same ship. Plus, Enterprise already tried the whole prequel thing and was generally not as warmly received as the other series.

Don't like the look of the Klingons. The whole Levodian flu thing was clearly a retcon to distinguish them from humans beyond bushy eyebrows and bronze makeup, but it was a definite improvement and set the standard going forward. Why mess with that?

The bit about "never being able to learn Vulcan" (language) made me jump to the conclusion that Sonequa Martin-Green's character was going to be a young Uhura. Guess that is wrong. She's looking foxy as hell though -- probably the best thing about the trailer in my opinion!

I guess I agree with a lot here that seem to have some doubts about this. Willing and hopeful to be proven wrong though!

Always good to optimize your pessimism if at all possible.

I wonder if the Orville is just a virtual reality simulation in this show.

I think the "sense the coming of death" alien was talking about this not making it to a second season... = \
