Discovery and "The Orville" Comparisons

Yeah, but if they counted all the Jackasses and not just Jackass 3 it would surely top the list...
(that is one seriously inexplicable list

Pfft. I'll take my own personal survey that indicates there are TRILLIONS of fans over Facebook any day. They are just trying to downplay Star Trek's greatness!

I'm not a fan of Seth McFarlane because of his lack of tolerance for people who don't share his beliefs. That said, The Orville seems to feature adventure, fun, character work, and as he noted in a recent interview, actual dramatic storytelling. Those are all things I want from Star Trek in general, but see very little of in Discovery. Had Discovery TRULY drawn from TOS, there would be a mix of humor and adventure with social commentary, focus on character, and drama. No, I haven't seen an episode of the show, but the trailers have shown very dire circumstances, a very old conflict (Federation vs. Klingons) and not any fun at all. The news is depressing and "realistic" enough, so I don't need that from Trek.
I understand that, but even "Coming Next Week" trailers from TOS showed hardly any humor and concentrated on the drama and the issue of that week. The little banter and interplay wasn't evident in those, either.
One thing in favor of "The Orville" to me is that I work with a girl who is a dead ringer for Adrianne Palicki...
But enough about Star Trek...
Why would you care? I watch and read plenty of people who don't agree with me and I don't agree with them.
Seeing Fast and furious on 2nd place almost makes me lose what little hope I have left for the film industry. :|
Why did I click?!
Nothing wrong with people liking fun movies.
And then there was B5 Season 5 - which blew chunks. Why because JMS thought he was only going to get a 4th and not a 5th season so he crammed what would have been season 5 into the latter half of season 4 and we all suffered for that.
It was always a small part of any episode, usually at the end. Sorta like the little chocolate mint thingies Olive Garden gives you at the end of the meal.
Maybe they'll have someone give out little chocolate mints at the end of a mission on Discovery!
Hmm...TOS, huh?
Looking at the list of TOS episodes, there wasn't even a SHREAD of humor until "Shore Leave"....episode **15**.
You know, only Trek fans would obsessively analyze episodes for humorous comments to prove a show was humorless.
Lol!
How many episodes contained direct references to logic?
Had Bill Shatner overacting?
Had red shirts dying?
Had any of the other tropes or themes know as key ingredients of TOS?
It's not about numbers, it's about lasting impressions.
Looks like your deflector shields are working.
