I’m glad for this. This show is keeping the spirit of Star Trek alive.

I've enjoyed ~~Brave~~ Strange New Worlds. Lots of individual excellent episodes. But Orville's arcs keep me coming back.
Strange New Worlds
Derp, yes. That one
Lower Decks.
The Orville is such a love letter to Star Trek. I can't get enough of it.
Wow! I had completely given up on this ever happening. Awesome!
Yeah, scrolling through Lemmy this was a real surprise! I thought this show was gone for good from what I had heard.
I came into this expecting family guy jokes and such and damn I found an actual legit sci fi show
Neat, I guess McFarlane got a new girlfriend. Love the show but I’d be sincerely surprised if attention didn’t spontaneously shift based on which cast member he’s currently boinking.
Lol, yeah I wonder who the new young hot cast member will be.
Woohoo! S03 was so good! It would have been a shame to end the show there.
Yep, finally found its legs just in time to be cancelled. Just like Outcasts 😭
No! I will not read that!
I’ve never heard of it, but I don’t need yet another awesome sci-fi series to fall in love with only to see it die prematurely.
Edit: I think I may have watched an episode or two of this back in the day, but didn’t get to watch more for some reason…
Firefly IS worth watching IMO even knowing how it pans out cancellation-wise. The movie does a credible job of wrapping things up, even if it can't provide the multi-season arc we would have wanted.
It did start out slightly slow before becoming awesome, but yes you should avoid it. Although it was awesome, they cancelled it at a pretty gigantic cliffhanger in both the main plot and (surprisingly compelling) romance plot. I got to the last episode knowing it was cancelled and was so upset I wished I hadn't watched it.
Edit since I see now there may be some ambiguity - my comment here is specifically regarding Outcasts, not Firefly. I don't think (or didn't see) the Firefly reference was there before their edit.
Ooooo….. now I wanna watch it…. 😬
Controversial take: most of the themes and at least half the characters aged like milk. It was sold to me as “imagine we lost the American revolution” and I even believed that when I saw it in college, but really it’s confederados after the civil war.
Jesse in particular is gross at best, wildly harassing and inappropriate at worst. It also gets tiresome watching Mal yell “WHORE” at Inara by the 30th time.
Yeah, keep it in the rose tinted memory bank folks. Don’t ruin it for yourself.
That image hurt me.
Shit, that looks right up my alley too.
Also “Banished.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banished_(TV_series)
With all of the horrible stuff that just never ends in this world, the existential dread blanketing me over the health of my cat, this little thing.. the announcement of a show I love coming back has brightened my day considerably
Oh my this is good news. I pretty much made peace with it being done but am am stupid excited now. IMHO it's become the best star trek show since TNG.
Star Trek before the Orville: ST:STD, kirk on a motorcycle playing beasytboys, plus dark drama about how we are all doomed!
Star Trek after the Orville: Lower decks, a Voyager sequel series hidden as a nickelodeon show, and ST:BNW doing a musical number were spock sings.
Star Trek future: A school drama and "what-if the sniderverse did an assassin movie in Star Trek"
Star Trek: Prodigy surprised me honestly
ST:BNW
SNW
"what-if the sniderverse did an assassin movie
What?
Isn't there a Section 31 movie coming out, or did a dream that?
no, it seems there is, with release planned for 2025... i knew that it was originally supposed to be series, got scratched, and i thought the film went same way, but it clearly did not.

YEA!!!!!!!
I stopped watching when they were applying human morals to aliens. Literal aliens.
So the beginning?
Or all of Star Trek, its direct inspiration?
