Should a Pike show take the Orville approach?

[Quinton]

My bad. I didn't notice the date until after I posted that reply.

I just thought it was funny, not gonna lie, haha.

SNW basically is a Star Trek version of The Orville anyway.

The hell it is.

If they ever do a Pike exploring space on the Enterprise doesn't this sort of make sense? Instead of being a love letter to TNG though like Orville make it a love letter to TOS. It seems like this show could be used to offer something the other Trek shows don't. Picard is the serious adult drama. The Section 31 show sounds like it's going to be Mission Impossible with a edge. Discovery is all about Burnham saving the universe. By doing one of these sort of retro-love letters which I would also put the show Stranger Things as well would fit in well with the Pike character and the Enterprise and all that. Even returning to mostly stand alone stories.

Also I am not saying this has to be what Trek always is. I am saying it's good for variation when put of next to the other stuff they are doing. I assume also at some point we will also get our first Trek comedy and one of these days they will figure out how do Starfleet Academy and give Trek it's first show to deal with growing up and becoming a adult theme.

i dont think so, because there is already a problem is strange new worlds being overly comedic. it should actually be the other way around. the dialoge needs to be more professional like old trek

 

[Turtletrekker]

No. Absolutely, positively, unequivocally no.

Did we watch the same "old trek"?

 

[Jayson1]

If what they are saying about the upcoming season is true it seems they might have read this old thread of mine.

maybe you are refering to the tos. i'm right now watching ds9. obviously it had its silly moments but it was not trying to be comedic all the time like in SNW

thats looks like a star trek version of "the office"

A clip from a crossover with a comedy is hardly proof of "all the time."

The same DS9 which was noted for being Star Trek's sitcom before Lower Decks came along?

 

[Jayson1]

If Trek wants to do a a sitcom and they need to do a show about Quark running a bar on the far reaches of space. Morn has followed him and now drinks their. Morgan Bateson now out of Starfleet is also one of the regulars. He is married to that alien lady Lanel from "First Contact" the TNG episode. She somehow got off her planet.

Based on some of the trailers I've seen for season 3, it seems like there are a few Orville Elements coming up, specifically the one with the fashionable 40s-esque clothing.

i get what you are saying but ds9 isnt comedic all the time. there are comedic moments and there are serious moments and there are episodes who are very serious and there are episodes that are pure slice of life/comedy. on top of that, the comedy in ds9 is actually funny.

 

[thribs]

It sort of does. It is rather light compared to other Trek shows. Orville got too serious by the end though which I hope doesn't happen here.

Meh, tell it to Tawny Newsome who has referred to DS9 as "Star Trek's first sitcom" and has cited it as an inspiration for the live action Trek sitcom she's currently developing.

Okay, but this also explains Strange New Worlds, as well. Welcome to the wonderful world of writing a television drama with characters that act like *gasp* people.

I was originally thinking 50s, but I was going on memory of the trailer and thought it looked a little more classical than that. Seeing that picture, it does look a little 70s, though La'an (I think that's La'an in the Red hat) looks like Agent Carter.

Her outfit wouldn't look out of place in the 70s.

I was just thinking you could place all of them in The Taking of Pelham One-Two-Three and they'd blend right in.
