Let’s call everything what it actually is:

The Orville is now Star Trek
Star Trek Discovery is now Star Wars
Star Wars is now Liberal Propaganda

quote:I agree with you but there is a very simple solution to this problem - have the show take place in the future after the last Star Trek film. I can't think of anything the show gains by being a prequel except the weak connection to Sarek.
I have no problem with the showrunners taking poetic license with the tech so that we're not watching a show set in a 1960's idea of what the future would be.
They could still have Klingons if they are dead set on that. Maybe the Federation isn't at peace with them any more? Maybe a radical sect of Klingon isolationists have gained power, etc? Perhaps it's nostalgia culture taking hold in our entertainment but I'm growing tired of "prequel" stories. Just continue the timeline into the future.

I'll never know if it's awesome or not unless it comes on NetFlix.
Orville is the best Sci-Fi on TV in a really long time.
