    @Mik....

    Watching The Orville.

    What, ANOTHER time-travel show? LOL.

    The difference between the two is that The Orville tries to be light hearted while being serious to the story.

    Star Trek; Strange New Worlds tries to be serious to the story while being light hearted, sort of.

    Nevertheless, ST:SNW is parsecs beyond the other new iterations of ST. Perhaps it'll find its stride like The Orville has.

    All that aside, nothing can compete with Anson Mount's hair.

      That was true in Hell on Wheels too.

          @Mik never watched the original. Any good, or just more of the same?

            It was OK. I never warmed up to it that much. One of the characters looked like a Sugar Crisp with ears and was supposed to be comic relief, but had a hot human girlfriend.

              @Mik Did you get around to watch the 3rd season of the Orville?

              I was watching S3 E5 and noticed that on board the Orville, Steinway and Sons is still the concert piano of choice. :man-shrugging:

                @Axtremus I’ve watched a couple and liked them both they have accomplished a very difficult task.. to both honor and spoof the original. It’s a pretty brilliant piece of work.

                  It took me a while, but I did come to enjoy Voyager quite a lot. It was quite dystopian and had some interesting story arcs. Each of the characters was flawed in their own peculiar way. Janeway had a ruthlessness about her as Captain owing to the nature of the environment she operated and the mission that confronted her. Mulgrew played the part very well.

                    Yeah, I liked Janeway and Chacotay a lot. And Sugar Crisp's hot girlfriend. The doctor was interesting in that he was a hologram.

                      The doctor character was at times hilarious.
