A call to all fans of the The Orville Sci-Fi series: The first 2 seasons are available on AmazonPrime and Hulu etc., season 3 comes on March 10, 2022. It's similar to Star Trek, maybe even better Definitely much better than the current "Star Trek: Discovery", which is IMO crap. I like The Orville.

I gave up this show like 3 episodes into it. It's the "SpaceBalls" of Star Trek, and is a tired old parody style that just doesn't work for me. You can keep it.
You should try season 2, it gets much better. And I believe the upcoming season 3 will win many prizes like the Emmy Awards etc. Here you can read the abstract of each episode before watching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orville_(season_1) In season 1 at least the episodes 4, 5, 6 are IMO very good stories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orville_(season_2) In season 2 at least the episodes 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 are IMO very good stories.
No thanks. I'll just wait for some more "Star Trek: Discovery", which is a refreshing take that uses a weird hybrid timeline/adjunct thing from different canons of ST. I find it fascinating how they can weave elements from different lines into a whole new experience. The Spore drive? WTF! Cool stuff.
"Star Trek: Lower Decks" is good too. It's animated series. It's intended more towards younger generations, but not necessarily for kids
You have to be a Trekkie to like Star Trek or The Orville As said "Star Trek: Discovery" is definitely not Star Trek, it's just crap
Tsing Tao perhaps named after Ray Tsing Tao in the original series. Ask him I sense he is a Ray, he has Ray vibes. The Orville does get watchable and becomes it's own thing not a parody. StarTrek Lower Decks I just could not get into.
Star Trek Enterprise is my favorite Star Trek series, as it's not that far fetched and plays about 110 years before Kirk & Spock, ie. in 2151+ I also like the theme song See also: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_Enterprise
