Yeah, yeah I know, introspection is at all time lows, while levels of self-efficacy are at historic highs.

If Seth has any humility he can turn Orville into something really good.

NewtonMP2100, I agree about the Orville. I actually found it enjoyable except for the humor. It's very reminiscent of TNG.

The Orville just ain't wright.

It's the internet.. episode 2 was bittorrented about 15 secs after CBS posted it.

....so you bit.....??

Someone apparently never viewed an entire episode of the the original Star Trek.

Maybe this Discovery crew is caught up in some type of time warp, but the kind of equipment shown on that vessel NEVER appeared on NCC-1701…

....that is what I'm saying....this occurred before the original Star Trek.......so why is the technology.....MORE advanced.....at least on the show 'Enterprise' the technology fit the time period.......

Understood, but I've moved on from torrenting files and now value convenience. Or I'll just go do something else. TV, or loss of it, is no biggie for me. For a show I cared about, I could be persuaded to do it the old fashioned way, by tuning in at an exact time each week, AND "put up" with commercials. But even that's not an option here.

CBS got a huge influx of new subscribers because of this new show, but has squandered the one thing all of the Netflixes of world will never have: actual, OTA broadcast ability. It's clear they don't want it. Instead of educating consumers about the value of an antenna, they chose to milk them.

Yup, we've* been talking about this for three years now... where ya been? I'll torrent a few more episodes, and see how things shape up. But not gonna pay CBS's prices for the ONE show of theirs I'm interested in.
