How can you be embarrassed by a video?

"What's Past Is Prologue" (to be edited as I go along)
- The Buran looks kind of like the Stargazer.
- Mirror Stamets would fit right in with Doctor Evil's clique.
- Mirror Georgiou's my favorite character on Discovery. Period.
- Georgiou must've been laughing inside of her head when Burnham was talking about the innocents who've been killed by Lorca.
- When the spores fly all over the place at the end of the episode, and one of them lands on Tilly, other spores could've landed anywhere else too... including possibly in the morgue and on Culber, and we just didn't see it? Or is that stretching things? Maybe, probably.
- What I love at the end is when it looks like the Klingons have won. Discovery isn't afraid to shake things up. They're not just hanging around for 10 years waiting for TOS to happen. Things are happening now. It's an active time period where nothing is static.

Lorca's song when Burnham turns on him... if he listened to Stone Temple Pilots.
Listen to the lyrics.
Listen to the lyrics.
I thought the Mirror stuff, other than the Lorca reveal, was definitely the best part of the season. At least it had a bit of fun about it. I don't think it's great Star Trek, and I think they played that super fannish card much too soon, but at least it kept me watching.
I wasn't really interested in returning to the main universe at the end of the arc, which is sort of how I feel about season two. The holdover stuff from the first season has almost zero interest for me.

I said the trailer itself was embarrassing, as in, cringe-worthy.
The awkward comedy (ironically trying to be the Orville and missing the point), the music and the total fanservice of showing the Enterprise.
It's almost everything I hate in a series, especially a Star Trek one.
I'm not seeing it.
The lift gag is text book Orville.
Orville didn't invent Elevator gags.
No.
But...they have owned them with things like the Muzak running gag. I mean we can give Star Trek v the precedent for space opera trek style lift gags, but I think they are uncommon. The lift gag in the trailer could literally be an Orville scene. Just a hint of 2009 reboot. Get doon! (One thing for pegs scotty...he’s both more accurate and easier to do impressions of. I think beyond and me and my little man wearing JJ trek uniforms for a week last Halloween made me finally like those films. Honestly. The fun we had repairing the House as scotty and Kirk...and I was scotty.)
Wasn’t the gag the alien putting music in? Do you mean his choice should have been more alien?
The Sgt Pepper film proves you can.
Just want to point out that "Murphy Brown" was doing all kinds of Elevator Jokes/Conversations looong before the Orville started doing it.
So it's pretty much been a TV-trope for several decades.
TWOK had it in '82.
I think you're rather ultra-defensive of this show, to be honest.
Hardly.
DSC or Orville?
