It think this is as subjective as it gets. You should 'test' a group in the manner they enjoy being tested. For some people this means tactical combat challenges. For others, riddles and Sudoku and the like. And then there's the lot who want a Night at the Improv! (that me).

I think those craft were like the snowspeeders in Empire and the implication was they flew in 'below the radar'. Of course that would mean there weren't spacecraft, and they skipped the scenes showing how they got to that moon. Yeah, it was a little confusing.

OK, the fourth episode was fantastic.

From the trailers I got an almost Scott Pilgrim movie vibe, but the first episode was much more Muslim Lin-Manuel Miranda directing a superhero joint. That’s the highest praise I can deliver. Absolutely delightful.

True. 'Homage, with comedy' is probably a better description. Though it does veer pretty close to parody in some places, ie the Moclans being a parody of TNG-era Klingons.

Season 1 can be skipped. Season 2, not so much. If it helps, the second season makes it much clearer that The Orville is less a TNG parody and more of a TNG continuation, with some of DS9's story arc dramatics thrown in for good measure.

Barbarian casts Magic Missile... WTF?

Starfleet... but with state school instead of Ivy League graduates.

What I meant was Jim Kirk had many adventures where we all knew he'd survive to the end credits. "Stakes are a relative thing when you're talking about TV series and media franchises. It's why Game of Thrones stood out so much - the folks you thought were protagonists could die. I'm looking...

In what way? Kirk didn't die until the first TNG movie, after his TV show and film series. Bond didn't... well, I actually haven't see the last one, but I assume in that one!

Yeah, for me the most compelling part of the show so far is Obi-Wan wrestling with PTSD (and the feelings he had for Padme?). When they raised the stakes in the traditional way for an adventure story by putting Vader on-screen, I found myself reaching for my iPad.

And how long did that take?

Plot immunity didn’t hurt Kirk or Bond. Well okay hurt yes, but kill, no.

You know, seeing Vader did very little for me. However, seeing Obi-Wan in the back of a space pickup looking at Leia while his eyes said, "I would like to have been your mom. It... could have been good. She was great." was excellent.

A Star Trek screwball comedy? Make it so!

Print up an Antifa membership card and mail it to him?

Laughter.

That sounds like a 1990s comic book starring X-O Manowar's lawyer.
