It has to be better than the uber PC Star Trek Discovery. Even with a foul lib like MacFarlane in charge.
Ping.

Seth gave $500,000 to Harry Reid’s Senate Majority PAC in 2016. Feel free to boycott.
Hey look! Something else I won’t be watching on TV.
We are definitely looking forward to seeing if the series is any good. The previews are highly promising.
Seth MCFarlane is dull, blah, not funny nor clever.
McFarlane has never made me laugh or even smile. He has chops as a voice actor but he’s a cringeworthy comedian.
It does not even look good on the promos.
Pilots are usually shaky. Takes a few episodes to find footing.
MacFarlane is a behind the cameras type guy that keeps trying to be in front of the cameras and reliably fails.
You guys seen it?
It’s decent. Fun and light.
McF is not a great actor and the dramatic elements are maybe on a fan fiction level, no need to over-analyze it.
Adrianne Palicki is hot as hell. And the little Brunntte’s not bad either (appearance wise, not terrific acting, and she’s way too human acting for an alien). Scott Grimes is pretty good.
The uniforms have pockets, imagine that. I remember a scene from TGN where Riker had to stick something in his boot for want of pockets.
There are ugly gay aliens but they have the excuse of not having females in their species.
I was surprised by the third episode. I heard in advance that they would be debating gender issues, assumed it was going to be my jumping off point, and was surprised the heroes took the position they did. That they gave good arguments to both sides is surprising for Hollywood.
I also noticed for the first time tonight that Brannon Braga is the executive producer. He is generally reviled for his presiding over the perceived downfall of Trek. I can’t argue too much against that, though I do like Voyager more than many do. In fact, though the comparisons of The Orville are usually drawn to The Next Generation, I would say it feels very Voyagery so far. The excellent title sequence is a close rip of Voyager.
Okay, so I’m on board for now.
