STAR TREK DISCOVERY Any Star Trek fans in the crowd? Star Trek Discovery just had it's fall finale and was wondering if anyone likes the show. Also, on a related note, any Star Trek porn fans in the crowd? I'd love to see Deanna, Ezri, Janeway and 7 get it on. But alas that's not going to happen. There is a surprising amount of Star Trek porn on Pornhub though. Lots of aliens having sex though their genitals are never made up. Probably would cause an allergic reaction for the actors.... -D | |

It's a damn good show. It alone makes the price for CBS All Access worth it. My wife is into it too now, and she was never into trek until she saw Discovery. Better to be pissed on, than to be pissed off. | |

I have a Trekkie coworker who cannot ask often enough if we've all watched it - bless his heart. I probably will eventually try to watch it, although I heard someone else who was a Star Trek fan say that they weren't nearly as impressed as my work colleague seems to be. | |

^Probably the biggest complaint seems to be that some of the technology used in Discovery is superior to what you saw in the original series. They aren't wrong but maybe these people need to take a pill. The original series is 50 years old. Very few people would be willing to watch a modern TV show that emulates technology that was imagined five decades ago. Instead Discovery chose to take the path of paying homage to the technology but make it look modern. The ships sort look similar in design to the old ST show but they have more models to choose from. It would have been really hard to do a show using only Constitution Class Starships like they did in the original series. Especially when we have been introduced to a variety of starships over the last 50 years. They have tried to copy the look of the original series phaser, communicator, transporters and shuttle craft. The cast is excellent, the acting is just as good and the effects are some of the best I have ever seen for a tv show. My main complain is only that there were so few shows this year and I have to wait until early next year to see the end of season one. Hopefully I don't have to wait a year before season two. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I've been watching The Orville which is miles better than the new Trek series. Hopefully CBS/Viacom/Paramount will merge again so they can use the original source material instead of the JJ Abrams Universe. I've been a Trekkie all my life and remember watching the original series when it first aired on NBC. "Dogs think people are Gods.

^ I have also been watching it since day one but our taste must be very different because I mostly watch it out of curiosity than pleasure. I appreciate MacFarlane's talent to pay homage to Star Trek but where he excels at writing comedy and to some extant drama. He is a pretty bad actor. It wouldn't be so bad if he was a secondary character but his ego is such that he had to be the main character of the show. His performance tends to drag down the rest of the cast whenever they share the screen but that's not the shows worst fault. Where the show really drops the ball is in tone. Is The Orville a sci/fi drama show with a huge helping of comedy or is it a sci/fi comedy show with a huge helping of drama? Too often dramatic scenes are intercut with crude jokes that aren't all that funny and completely out of place with what is happening on screen. On the subject of jokes. They aren't funny, they are too juvenile for the core audience of this show and may be why the show gets cancelled. Not necessarily after one season or even two but I can't see them be a successful long term show if they don't decide on the final tone they want their show to have. The best example of Seth MacFarlane dropping the ball when it comes to tone was his movie A Millions Ways to Die in the West. P.S: I'm not sure what you meant about the timelines. Are you implying that Discovery is in JJ Abrams timeline? It's not. It's in the original series timeline but set about 10 years before Star Trek. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

So glad to see that there's other Trek fans on here. I really like Star Trek. Original Series, TNG, DS9 (My fav), VOY, ENT and now DISCO. I refuse to call it STD. The animated series wasn't my favorite though. ANYWAYS, For people who like the Orville better and thinks its more like TNG, that's because of the lighting! Plain and simple. I don't think DISCO is the best though, but it's only 8 episodes so there's still lots of room for improvement. Anybody else like their work out shirts that read DISCO in the front. I think they would've been even better if the shirts read VERY in the back  -D | |

Legally the new series can't use anything from the original series as they have no permission. When CBS and Paramount split up into two separate companies, Paramount started the movies which are a separate timeline and have nothing to do with the original show. It is complicated, but the main reason many fans are upset at the new series is they were lied to about what universe it takes place in. Many are hoping Nicholas Meyer gets his series based on original Trek greenlit. There were many rumors the brass wanted to replace Discovery with what Meyer was doing. Another fix would be if Viacom merges the other companies together (CBS, Paramount and Viacom back into one company). That probably won't happen even though there is major consolidation in the media business. As for the Orville, it is far from perfect and I agree with most of your criticisms. I just think its' heart is in the right place. I can't say the same about Discovery. "Dogs think people are Gods.

^I'm not sure where you got your info but Discovery is in the old timeline and has absolutely nothing to do with the new Star Trek movies. Now it's true that Meyer hinted at a possible future Star Trek project but that project would be a sequel to Star Trek Beyond and therefore be in the new timeline. The bad news is that ST:Beyond had disappointing box office profits and therefore a future ST movie with the new timeline is uncertain but the good news is that it leaves him more time to continue his job as consulting producer on Discovery. I wish I could give more praises to MacFarlane because I think his heart was in the right place when he came up with the idea for The Orville and I think that many of the different storyline he has come up with a excellent but I don't believe he understands that crude juvenile humour is out of place in what is essentially a thought provoking drama series. Case in point the episode "About a Girl" where Bortus and his mate give birth to a baby girl and their dilemma on whether or not to have gender altering surgery to make her a him so that she can better live in a society that is all male. This is high brow thought provoking television but if you interject crude humour in the episode than doesn't that defeat all the hard work you have done. That's not to say that some humour is bad but if we look at it on a scale of 1 to 10. The types of jokes that tend to crop up on the Orville are too often 12 and above. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I'm guessing you haven't seen DISCO yet? Cause Mudd, a much beloved character from TOS was in 2 episodes of DISCO. So.... -D | |

I saw the pilot episode and pieces of some other episodes. I did see their version of Mudd and didn't like what they did to him. I will binge watch the show once I get a chance. "Dogs think people are Gods. Cats don't as they know better." - Kedi (2016) Dogs have masters; Cats have staff. | |
