It's as much Star Trek as the unofficial Trek movie Galaxy Quest. Doesn't matter if the characters and universe are different, it's got the same vibe to fit in.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie

[–] 7of9@startrek.website 12 points 10 months ago (11 children)

Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.

The Orville has more Star Trek Vibe than most recent official shows

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

More than Discovery. Somewhat less than SNW. Not even close to Lower Decks.

[–] nicoweio@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

A few years back, it was true, though. Picard…

This show is so freaking Star Trek that it out-Star Treks the Star Trek.

[–] Here4CatPics@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

When that second episode of the first season dropped I said the same thing to a friend that's a die hard Star Trek fan. They weren't enjoying the new Trek, yet, but wanted the thought provoking episodes now, action later/sprinkled in

Totally agree, it's definitely more Star Trek than any of the new Star Trek series.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I heard the review "better Trek than Trek".

When are we getting the Wilbur TV show? That's what I want to know.

[–] Here4CatPics@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

it's been a long road . . . .

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't you start.

We definitely do need that show...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm actually surprised there isn't, as far as I know, a modern high-budget miniseries about the Wright brothers. It seems like such an obvious biography subject.

[–] negativenull@startrek.website 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know. They could easily do it now, and potentially very well. It seems like a slam dunk.

So which one of those guys is Orville?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This makes sense, we all remember Katherine Voyager Janeway

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or the Jean-Luc The-New-Generation Picard

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 10 months ago

It all started with James "Star" Trek Kirk.

[–] tryitout@infosec.pub 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They're standing inside him.

The Orville literally made me give Star Trek an actual try. I think of it as my first series of Trek.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Average Orville fan

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Until Strange New World came out, Orville was my favorite Trek since TNG.
