Star Trek Discovery

[dafier]

I vaguely remember something about Klingons being of different races. Hence why they look the way they do in the original, TNG, Into the Darkness and now STD.

Hrm. I just realized that this series is *after* they augmented their DNA. Now I'm really confused... I wonder if we'll get some form of canon explanation later on in the season.

Well...here is the beautiful thing about Star Trek. There are several timelines or universes. So, is this a separate timeline???

And, remember other timelines can have little or no differences than others and some are radically different.

I was under the impression that it was supposed to be the "original" timeline - I guess we'll see how it develops...

Actually there are 2 separate star trek licenses at this time.

Don't have time to explain.

Star Trek Discovery cannot dip into the current timeline or even the TNG timeline, including the entire Klingon IP. The klingons are different because of the IP rights. They have no ability to break into source material that they simply have no license to touch. So they had to slant a lot of stuff in Discovery. The theme song itself is fucked up because of the licensing.

If I find an article explaining the license issue i'll post it

I'm liking The Orville as much as Discovery. Probably more? Gonna wait to see what happens.

Discovery and Orville fit two completely different show types. One is Drama/Action, other is Comedy. Not to say you can't enjoy both. I bet MacFarlane will have quite the laugh if Orville ends up being more successful, but then again that might be more due to it being broadcast on Fox instead of the All Access bullshit.

I liked both. The entrance to Discovery so far feels more like a Pre-lude to what the show will settle into. Instead of starting the show off directly on the Discovery and learning what happened to Michael to get there, it shows us directly, and now the real story begins on Discovery. So I feel like we haven't even settled into the core story yet. We're being introduced to the background/past of the main character and the catalyst of the events which started this war.

Also, I wasn't a Star Trek fan before the rebooted movies came out, so I never really watched any of the previous series. I enjoyed the movies, and so far I enjoy this show.

Orville I expected to be more comedy and satire, but it's quickly settling into it's own full show.

Orivlle was miss marketed as a comedy, I definitely feel like he simply wanted to be in startrek next generation, so he wrote a new version of it but he is definitly trying to make it TNG with a twinge of humor.

And as a full blown trekker Im totally stoked.

It feels to me like TNG, but, in TNG I've always thought it was kinda bullshit that nearly every. single. human being, adopted the idealistic, Utopian socialist image of humanity. Like it was pretty bullshit that the most evil person, was that 1 guy from generations, while everyone else is the ideal socialist Utopian.

Orville feels like TNG if it were in our universe. Like, if WE actually made it to that erra of mankind, it'd be Utopian sure, progressive and socialistic, obviously, but still full of retards and people throwing shade at each other, drinking 6 packs of beers and watching old movies.

But thats all it is to me so far, TNG with a twinge of reality mixed in, which becuse life is better if you make fun of it, its kinda funny.

but it aint no rick and morty comedy show no sir. compared to that, its full blown TNG.

I just watched the first three episodes of Orville and - damn. /mind blown

I like it. I agree with the others that it feels more in line with the Trek franchise I love. I'm rewatching the first two episodes of Discovery as I write this, but so far I agree with Nilgod.
