He was a supporting actor on a fairly successful movie franchise 30 years ago.

If also like the superhero genre, I’d recommend Bryan Crantson’s Supermansion on Crackle (free on any sony device) it is funny as all hell.

It was indeed and I enjoyed it a lot. I would certainly be appreciating The Orville a hell of a lot more if it was a fraction as funny and satirical and thought provoking as Blunt Talk was.

Interestingly enough, Me and a group of my friends did something similar to the Orville using Voyager and a 360 degree mic, again, 20+ years ago. Except it was a whole lot funnier and more creative, especially when it came to the dick jokes. IE, Captain Janeway because Captain Hepburn, Tuvok because Spaft (Half…

Man, you’re like a dog with a shoe that thinks its a bone. Well, carry on if you must. If anything you are amusing (like a dog with a shoe that thinks its a bone).

Because extremism is also in itself a problem. When someone comes along with literally dozens of accusers lining up (as far as I can tell legitimately), there’s always someone who says.... how come not Woody Allen? Why isn’t Woody Allen being treated the same way as this guy who has been accused by dozens/hundreds …

Some people just can’t handle anything that doesn’t give extreme pleasure to their nostalgia receptors.

TOS. It has 3 legendary eps, 3 decent ones and 3 cringingly awful eps. Discovery is mostly above average. haven’t had enough time to fully evaluate all eps, although Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad has earned its place in my top 10 eps of all time.

Are you saying this show needs more dick jokes? Or it needs to treat sexual harrassment and rape for laughs? Or maybe the federation should drug anyone who doesn’t fall in line with their requirements? Because I’m really not at all convinced Orville offers anything otherwise but nostalgia for beige sets and color…

How about after the 9 episodes? I’d say at worst it ranks 2.

All I suggested is that you haven’t been paying close enough attention to what’s on the screen if you don’t think its very good on its own merits. Most classic Star Trek episodes are about as challenging to decipher as a game of checkers. Disco episodes are somewhat more challenging. The Harry Mudd episode, for…

That’s because you’re watching the show superficially and only see the duck bobbing serenely. You actually have to look underneath the surface. There you’ll see something very different. I will however, admit that the show is introducing the characters through Burnham’s eyes, and that sort of series intro hasn’t…

If your game is checkers, sure. If your game is 3d chess, not so much.

I’ll give you a hint. It’s the one whose title means ‘Love’. And its not because of the mechanics of the story, but how the motivations of the characters involved are explored and where they lead.

Seriously, if all you can see is “scary muslims. But like in space.” then you are watching something that’s over your head. Try something that actually has a “delusional fanbase” that’s more your speed. Hint: Its got beige sets and color coded uniforms.

Actually, the two characters are bound together. Lorca brought Burnham on board in the hopes that through redeeming her, he could redeem himself. This isn’t remotely ‘torture porn’, and if you’ve ever watched the show you’d know what I’m saying is a reasonably accurate assessment.

This. You can’t watch these episode superficially like most other Treks. Its a step up, and if you unwilling to take that step, your better off watching that knockoff that is all about the dick jokes.

Maybe better if Lorca cavagely beat a Klingon to death with his bare hands (which is what Adama did to a Cylon pretty early on - and he was probably the nicest guy in the show)?

I guess you weren’t paying attention to what was going on in Madness to Make the Sanest Man go Mad, as it is probably one of the best ST episodes ever made.

You clearly haven’t seen a single minute of the show.
