7 days agoAlso Orville - particularly the latest season - has been incredible. Everything Star Trek is supposed to be.
That show surprised the hell out of me, especially because the first season has more of Seth’s typical touch, but then he drops some of the silliness and dives right into being a Trek replacement. It feels like every episode or two has some powerful commentary and things don’t always go the way you think they should because situations are more complex than simply right-or-wrong… Like old Trek.
The issue with this is you often end up with a diverse group of people who are all very educated and grew up in upper-middle class or even upper class homes. It’s a diversity of race and gender but with everyone having the same values anyway. I’ve seen it myself being the only person in my workplace who grew up poor, you realize how little the rest of it really matters.
