I'm not planning on it right now, mostly cause I dont want to pay for a new service that has next to nothing else, kinda like stargate origins is doing as well, for a show that gives a middle finger to treks continuity.
Since its on non-standard service Orville will probably end up taking a lot of the trek audience from them, premiering it first may have been a good play.
Edit1: Just saw an ad for the new trek and it discribed it as a season 1 exclusive for cbs all access, which is leading me to believe their subscription numbers are much lower than expected, in that they may shift it to regular cbs in season 2, if it makes it that far.
Edit2: It was mostly decent, sure the only character who really seems to matter (like the only character who can do anything, Michael or whatever her name is) is the black chick and it seemed very star warsy and largely gives a middle finger to continuity but seems like it will be a decent sci fi show, not really trek but like Abrams trek. Ok it basicly seems like star wars as more of a tv show. Graphics were much better I thiught than those early trailers.

It is only on tv for the first episode, then you have to subscribe to their $10 a month crappy streaming site. I might watch it just to anger myself. This SJW Trek is going to be the end of the series and fandom as we know it.

Wait so it's on cbs tonight? I may have to check it out then. We should make a drinking game.

We should make a Saurian brandy drinking game and do a shot every time they employ a heavy-handed virtue signalling plot device to deliver a clumsy message.

That is not Star Trek, so no.

But legally it is star trek, even if the content is worse that most copies of it.

Like Babylon 5? Is that any good?
[–] RayLomas 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I consider B5, together with (new) Battlestar Galactica the best space-based sci-fi series recorded to this day. Even though I have some kind of sentiment for Star Trek, these 2 are better written and more clever (with no or almost no technobabble).
B5 was intended to be a more mature kind of SciFi, with a lot of darker themes, but still a lot of humor. See this example.

Holy fuck, this is the first I've heard of it. The new StarTrek is beyond shit, but I might have to check out Stargate Origins.
[–] ashekchum [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
No release date on it yet just that it is supposed to come out sometime in 2017. Some unknown pay schedule on that series as well, but there is a trailer for it released just a few days ago

I love Star Trek. The graphics were good on discovery but that's all that was good about this dog. The SJW choices in actors sucks sucks sucks. The captain a female jap that cant speak without pauses, and a nigger woman for #1. I turned it off half way through but the wife PVR'ed it. I doubt I will be watching it. Was the orville already on....crap I missed it. I hope this show gets canceled.

Thank you, that's a quite in depth analysis of it, the info on the licensing is nice as well wasn't sure on that. I only saw the first episode and it seemed much more single character focused than other star trek series. Yah the production quality was a lot better than the early teasers.
Did it feel like a star trek show to you? In like the way the show was written?
