It's trendy to be a "nerd" now - there are lots of pretenders. Anyhoo, I'm assuming you're talking about the remake BSG (I didn't like either.) I wouldn't call the Orville a parody, perhaps it started that way but I don't think it's been like that for a while.Ketraar wrote: ↑Thu, 23.

But it seems to be a general issue not exclusive to Trek, as the new Star Wars shows seem to suffer from the same blanditis. Rewatching Battlestar Galactica for teh 4th time seems a much better idea, not a fan of Orville as I'm not really into parodies.

Re: Star Trek Discovery
That was my big problem with the second season of ST: Picard--going back in time and having most of the show set in contemporary America just seemed to completely forget what the franchise is about, all for the sake of some of the heaviest-handed eco propaganda they could stuff in there.
Re: Star Trek Discovery
Haven't got to the third season of the Orville yet. Didn't mind the first two seasons.
First season might suffer a bit from Macfarlane "Family Guy/Ted" writing.
The show is probaly still a Trek-lite but it is a homage to the Trek family.

Re: Star Trek Discovery
Third season Orville is sci-fi with a tiny bit of MacFarlane humour compared to season one is MacFarlane humour in a sci-fi situation.
Anyway just watched episode 3 of SNW and it was a recycled story done so many times and so much better elsewhere. Cancelled the Paramount+ sub before the 7 days free expires. Other content on there doesn't seem to be worth the money either.
