See, I’m not the biggest fan of McFarlane humor (it’s got it’s moments) but I am a fan of McFarlane the man. He’s just somehow likeable to me and I feel like he’s bringing that side of him to the forefront with this show. But otherwise I agree, totally. I’m so glad The Orville is not the kind of show it was marketed

I’m fairly certain that if Einstein were still alive, he would be a smug asshole about all this.

Yup. I liked it just fine. Everybody seems to have expected MORE dick jokes. What we got was a TNG homage. Marketing should have been more along the “From the producer of “Cosmos” lines.

I agree. I thought it was ok, certainly liked it enough to keep watching

I dunno; most of the negativity I’ve seen has been among critics, not viewers.
Case in point, the Rotten Tomatoes score is 17% for critics and 91% for viewers as I write this.

I liked last night’s pilot episode. It felt like a fanfic mash-up of ST:TNG and ST:DS9. Even down to the score and sound effects. I didn’t realize how much I wanted something like that until last night.

As long as it has nothing to do with bringing Mon-El back, we’re all good.
