Do not like what they've done to the klingons, not one bit. This is supposed
to take place after Enterprise, so they should have left the klingons alone since the ones we saw in Enterprise were the same as we've come to know from TNG and the other shows.

The new ship looks like the stole parts from an old Klingon ship.

I'm also not going to pay another service in order to watch it. I think CBS
is making a majorly bad decision by not airing it on regular TV, and I'm
afraid it will seriously hurt the franchise.

Take a look at Youtube: At the latest ComicCon they've released a VERY interesting trailer which might reveal a lot about the story of this series...

That's causing a lot of debate around. It seems that these guys will have an explanation, just like the ones regarding the forehead ridges (which at

the end were a byproduct of the Augment virus). We will have to wait and see.

The new ship looks like the stole parts from an old Klingon ship.

Believe it or not, the USS Shenzou looks like an upgraded Enterprise-clas ship, while the USS Discovery had its design taken from a scrapped series called Star Trek Phase II.

think CBS is making a majorly bad decision by not airing it on regular
TV, and I'm afraid it will seriously hurt the franchise.

That's what will be, I believe, the major "shot in the foot" that CBS is doing now. For instance, I live in Brazil, and the series will be made available immediately over Netflix, therefore I won't have to pay extra to have

it (as I pay Netflix already)

Well I'm surprised that they ordered a second season. Really I thought that it would not "fly" because the Star Trek fans would not pay CBS to see it on their paid service. (Think they call it All Access). I'm wating for Netflix to pick it up there cause I can get it from them. I figured the ST clubs would DVR or recoord it and swap it among themselves rather than pay to watch it.

I'd like to know actual numbers on how many new subscriptions CBS got, and then how many will stick around after the season ends. I'm debating cancelling my CBS All Access pass for the month of December, and picking it back up when the second half of Season 1 starts.

That said, I'm enjoying the show, but I've really only seen glimpses of what I consider to be "Star Trek". The Orville is more Star Trek than Discovery is, at this point.

Yea that will be interesing to see who bails after the season ends and IF they come back next year and how many.

Boy I've got a friend who is watching and and says it's very star trek. Since I'm not I can't agree or disagree with you.

If I remember from the first episode Discovery happens between Enterpise and TOS. So they could be referencing things and people in the the Enterprise series. Wonder if there will be a USS Tripp to honor Tripp who died in the series.

Saw that they will do a Mudd episode just wonder if they will "age" the characters right. You could also see the TOS charaters in their early years
in Starflet or in the Academy.

Done right it could be a boone to ST arc. Done wrong a disaster. It wll be an intesting few years.

It's set 10 years before TOS. There's a reference to the Enterprise which was in service at the time (under Captain Christopher Pike). Not many other things have been referenced.

Saw that they will do a Mudd episode just wonder if they will "age"
the characters right. You could also see the TOS charaters in their
early years in Starflet or in the Academy.

There were two episodes containing Mudd. Both were... interesting. Rainn Wilson (he played Dwight Schrute in The Office) plays the character in Discovery, there are a few pictures online where you can compare Wilson's Mudd to TOS's Roger C. Carmel's Mudd. There's a definite resemblance.

Done right it could be a boone to ST arc. Done wrong a disaster. It
wll be an intesting few years.

I'll avoid spoilers and just say that it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it.

Yeah, I haven't been watching STD... but I am really liking the Oriville.
Been kind of impressed with the alien races too.

Sometimes it gets a little silly, but frankly, I think we need that right
about now.

I am not familiar with that one. But my TV schedule is so full that I don't have time to check all the new shows out. I DVR up to four shows a day at times and then watch them later. Usually I get done about 2 AM in the morning.

If it's something that I find or something that some tells me about that looks interesting I catch it on reruns, go through the series one and move onto something else.

Consider yourself told. The Orville is pretty much a slightly less
serious version of Star Trek... or to be more accurate, it is still a
serious show... there is danger... there is drama (people die and we're
all pretty said about it). But some of the characters are smartasses and
some are jackasses throughout it all.

One specific episode that comes to mind... they had to infiltrate an
enemy vessel so they could learn about their religion (they're fanatics)
so they could hopefully find some way to connect on a common level...
only to discover they were about to unleash a weapon of mass destruction
on an innocent farming colony.

It was tense... it was serious... it was going to be a bad end for them
if they got caught... but the name of their "god" was Avis... and one
character couldn't help but crack a string of jokes about how their god
was named after the rental car company.

I'd recommend watching a few episodes.
