Now if they could only bring back Space: 1999 or Blake's 7 I'd be happy.

Great shows from my childhood

They're gonna need Chief O'Brien for the final episode.

[Kirwan]

Now that’s how you do nostalgia. Perfect.

That was very satisfying. I hope that show runner gets the Legacy show he wants, he understands Trek and I’d like to see new stories in this format.

New enterprise stories would be great.

@Tim I thought they were going to cry in happiness at one point.

Strange New Worlds on again.

Fixed the Klingon aesthetic, continues the fun episodic vibe from last year. Very enjoyable.

I assume that The Orville has been discussed in the thread already (maybe even by me), I'm watching S2 and will move on to S3. As I don't have Paramount this is the closest to Star Trek I can get and it feels the closest to original Star Trek I've seen, especially as it's mostly stopped being a comedy. What do others think of it?

I haven't seen Strange New Worlds yet though which is apparently(?) the closest to the original of the actual Star Trek brand shows/movies.

SNW definitely close to the original series. Much more gung-ho, episodic and boys own adventurous.

I never managed to get into The Orville

@dogmeat i kind of felt the orville started as the parody of the Star Trek the next generation...then it tried to take up the mantle of what star trek use to be

but the cheap 90's sets and uniforms worked as a parody...but looked cheap and old school when it was trying to be its own thing

[Kirwan]

Season 3 of Picard is a good modern take of TNG as well.

SNW is a little goofy at times, but so was the TOS. Am sure online nerds are annoyed at emotional Spock, but it’s serving the story.

@Kiwiwomble
It was the parody aspect I struggled with.

That and being captained by Peter Griffin

Apparently the parody aspect was the only way McFarlane could get it funded initially. But he had always wanted to do a non parody version.

@Kiwiwomble I've never had a problem with the sets or costumes TBH, I hope you haven't ruined the rest of the series for me now.

Orville second season was pretty good. 3rd season was not very good, but with a couple of good episodes.
