Fingers crossed that this show is as good as it sounds like it will be. 🙏

And they have been wonderful stories.

[@Stewie_1701]

That's the difference be Orville and Discovery.. One is in it to make good TV and to make us think. The other is in it for money...

[@PopRocksV]

I think Seth would be the only person that I'd allow to get that close into my personal bubble space. He got so cloooseee. ;)

[@TREKontheTUBE]

Episodic. Wow.

"I mean Star Trek did it for a long time and then they..." Steth to himself: can't say went to shit... "eeevolved into something different"

To Seth would the captain want to be called ma'am? Why call the doc or other lead women sir? Seems sexist . Other than that I love the show.
