So, I have seen the first two episodes and while I like the design of the ships etc. I don't like the characters much (especially the ex-wife of the captain, hell that women should IMHO keep as far away from her ex-husband as possible, she after all ruined his career (no: Helping him gain command of an inferior ship - compared to what people expected that he'd get as his first command - is NOT enough to make up for it IMHO!)...hell, I admit I wanted her spaced (or otherwise removed from the show!) when he said that she wanted to use a couple's councilor that was related to her (thus even more biased in favor of her as a woman than most councilors, who often fault find the man instead of looking at both partners equally)) and I hate the jokes (I am not against humor, but if a show doesn't take itself serious then I don't like that...I don't like parodies much either and this is deffinitely modelled on Star Trek!)
Still, it does a better job than STD
greetings LAX
ps: The ship itself gives me a Voyager vibe sadly...I'd have prefered it if the captain really gained command of a bigger ship (always being in the underdog position if something a little larger than a shuttle confronts you frankly sucks!)

Discovery is a cookie cutter space war drama, it's not 'Trek', all the twists in the last few episodes were predicted months ago online and were easy to work out, I sussed them before the mid-season break.
Laxian, stick with Orville, the story and explanation of the wife is revisited, and explained later in the series in the most amusing, and unusual way.

Also there's a very good reason why Orville has more of a star trek feel and that is because they are literally reusing plots from Voyager and TNG.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.
