[QUOTE="Mort, post: 7953591, member: 762"] That's totally fair. I just find I like the Orville's attitude that humanity, while it's still the same basically, has mostly evolved into a more optimistic/benevolent society. And while the show has some seriously dark themes - it really evokes the old Star Trek theme of hope and betterment. I like the new Star Treks (Discovery and Picard) but they're just SO dark. Nearly EVERY character is deeply flawed and wrestling with past/current demons, it's almost always a "who can you trust" situation and the answer is rarely - Starfleet. Just like you have trouble watching more than 3 or so Orville episodes, I find I have to take a long break between episodes of the 2 new series (Them not being immediately bingeable was actually pretty good for me).
