I debated with myself if I preferred the Star Trek humans vs The Orville humans, and in the end I do prefer the more serious dialogue of Star Trek

Yeah in the end I agree TNG is better. It was more original, had better writing and better acting. But I do think if the Orville gets a few more seasons, it can possibly be as good.

Yeah the humor in season 1 turned me off and I wasn't sure if I liked the show at first, it tapers off in season 2 and mostly evaporates in season 3, so those seasons were far better.

The Orville does the utopia a bit better. For example no prisons in the future and the post scarcity, socialist no money utopia is ironically taken more seriously in The Orville than in Star Trek where it almost seemed embarrassed by it at times.

Couldn't have said it better myself. By the third season, I was like "yes this is honorary Star Trek"

No need to be vs I agree, but people pit them against each other anyway so thought I'd ask. I like both to the extent I just include The Orville in my Star Trek lineup

If you can stand its horrible interface, get Paramount Plus because it has the full series. Or just get them on DVD actually. Sadly no Blu Rays yet of the series

Recently rewatched the first 6 Trek films. For as bad as V is, love that line since I also love Bourbon and baked beans ;)

Bourbon and beans, an explosive combination.

I have both the snes classic and pixel remaster version, wondering which one to play
