Shit like this is at odds with the classic trek feel the show is going for. I've always felt trek was a family show that even the strictest of parents wouldn't mind watching with their kids. Most of the jokes fit into that mold just fine, but having this right up front set the complete wrong tone for me.

>>87644371
This. Me and my CBS wife and CBS children were offended at this blatant disregard of family values.

>>87644371
One review put it beautifully
>once the dick joke was out of his system we could get on with the show

>>87643822
the jokes were between unfunny and meh, but it worked as a star trek episode

Beware of CBS talking points such as >>87644474

>>87644500
But he said he liked it

>>87644371
Yeah I bet the "strictest of parents" were thrilled back in the 60s when Kirk kissed Uhuru. And how do you know what sort of feel the show is going for? Did Seth McFarlane tell you?

>>87644515
>he doesn't understand how to undermine an IP

>make a good Star Trek show
>ruin it by making it """funny"""
Bravo.

Wow. Can you faggots get any more insufferable? Stop. Don't finish that post. Whatever shitty fucking joke you're typing up that you think is oh so "clever" and "original" has already been made by some other colossal faggot already.

I watched it and enjoyed it. I'm also not projecting my own assumptions onto it. Fuck you, guy.

I didn't notice this the first time through. This shot features the Brooklyn Bridge in the same way ST always shows off the Golden Gate Bridge before Federation HQ scenes.

>>87645202
Excellent observation!

>>87645135
So what 'feel' did you think the show was going for?

>>87645202
Yea its the golden gate bridge for seths stuff, that seems very obvious.

I honestly don't have enough time in my life to worry about crap like this. I watched the show and enjoyed it. I don't concern myself with overthinking the nuts and bolts.

And yet you've felt the need to discuss Uhura kissing Kirk as a comparison

The Orville has restored hope to my life. I feel joy and strength of will once more.

Orville threads are fun as fuck. It's extra awesome because the things shitting up le /trek/ don't have an established playground

pretty good, whens episode 2?

>>87646752
Every Sunday at 8pm/7pm Central on Fox.

>>87643822
Does anyone remember a show on FOX based in Rome? I think it was canceled.

>>87643822
I'll be surprised if this survives its first season.

So, I think the thing that impressed me most is that they're going to make Star Trek style plots... with no transporters! As a plot device, transporters are just too easy mode. An establishing shot of a shuttle landing should be good enough.

After all, what would The Rockford Files be like if everyone had a cell phone? Half of the plot would simply disappear if you could just reach into your pocket and call someone up, either to resolve a misunderstanding, or to call in the cavalry.

Sorry but this show sucks. I was expecting family guy in space and instead I got... a mediocre drama played mostly straight. More jokes, less plot.

Why would anyone actually want that?

>>87643822
I liked it. Obviously it's a TNG homage/rip off with a bit more humor injected. It could be better, some of the CGI was weak. But I liked it.

The robot guy sounded like Data too much. How long until the guy who plays Steve in American Dad has a musical number?

Not great, not terrible. First ep. seemed mostly like table setting. I'll give it a few more episodes.

I liked it. I hope it stays on long enough to find its footing.

>>87650864
Only if they bring in PatStew to sing the academy song together.

>>87643822

I liked it. The people who made it clearly love Star Trek. Unlike the people who made STD, from everything seen and read so far.

High-gravity waifu without her makeup.

PS I really liked the first episode and I'm really surprised how much the critics hated it. Like they despised it. I felt like it captured the spirit of trek more than trek has in a decade.

>>87652381
You idiot she's wearing tons of makeup in this picture.

>>87652381
But critics gave ghostbusters, queef edition a certified fresh rating. It's as if they have an agenda to perpetuate. These critics would shit on Citizen Kane for having a white cast.
