Yeah it seems pretty typical for a pilot episode to differ a lot from regular episodes of the show. Looks like the guy who played Dwight on The Office will be on the next one, that should be funny.
With the Klingons I just don't get why they had to ditch the beards and long hair.

Yeah i dont like the new Klingons, they look weird.
But i like the show, reminds me of the new Star Trek movie back in 2007. Its more action packed and different than the original series. I think i can get used to it.

I thought it was some of the worst dialog I've ever seen. Stilted, wooden... like they were pausing just that half-second too long, as though they were waiting for the cards to be flipped before they could read the next line.
It was like it written by a 15 year-old that's read about Star Trek, but has never actually seen it.
Seriously-- it was trash.
All four people I was watching it with were turned off by it-- the flashy big-budget effects couldn't make a dent in the absurdity of supposed 7-year relationships requiring elementary school quality exposition and frankly bizarre behavior. Ugh. I give it two seasons before unceremonious cancellation.

i found the lens flare and tilted camera angles distracting.
and fuck cbs for making people sign up for some bullshit just to watch a tv show. this isn't on the game of thrones level. (i wish it was, actually)
the poster above is right about the dialogue too. it reminded me of walking dead, where every conversation i'm thinking SAY SOMETHING

I think the Orville is closer in spirit to trek than Discovery.

How is The Orville?

So far its TNG with a few more jokes not bad. I felt tired watching discovery it didn't feel like star trek to much violence to much drama.

Thats pretty bad ass.
Im not a big fan of Seth McFarland, but i did love Galaxy Quest, a Star Trek spoof movie basically. I wanna check out Orville, as long as its not *too* stupid.

So far I've only seen the pilot of the orville it was decent not to seth macfarleny. Who knows though it could easily suck over time due to seths ego.

I actually really liked those first two episodes. It was different and I understand some of the complaints but every single series has been different from the last in one way or another. They always try to do something a bit different and try to stay relevant. I'm just happy to have more Trek to watch. There were some off moments so far but I'm hopefuly they will go a "bigger" route and make the storylines more complex, intertwined, and driven, rather than having these occasional arcs sprinkled onto triple digits of episodic content. If they make it more fleshed out and sciency, maybe take a page or two from GoT, it could very well turn out to be one of the best series yet, but I'm not immune from understanding just how hopeful all of that is.

The pilot counts as 1 and 2, so the one that just came out yesterday is episode 3.
The new ship looks really badass, I like the concentric rings thing and the super stretch look to the nacelles.
I feel like it's solidly a real Star Trek tv show now. Character relationships are starting to gel, cool take on a Spock/Data style "straight man", etc.

There's been way too much action and not enough sci-fi for me so far, but I still have hope.
