Orville is also in that vein, IMO. It tries to be a comedy, a parody, but you can also tell it's a love-letter to old-school Star Trek.

- hef19898 5y agoAnd better Star Trek then Discovery.
- mandmandam 5y agoI've pulled Ceti eels from my ear that had parasites who wrote better Star Trek than Discovery.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoMy pet theory is that they went over the top with comedy aspects in S1 only to establish The Orville as a parody, to avoid being accused of IP misuse/plagiarism. S2 toned down the jokes a lot, and it feels more like a lighter TNG, which I believe was the goal all along.
- saalweachter 5y agoYeah, I got the same impression -- they really wanted to make Star Trek, and were like, "Exactly how much parody do we need to include to make a lawsuit unprofitable?".
