Doctor Foxx posted... but I don't think it is going to hit the same notes as Trek does about morality and society It doesn't because he wears his politics on his shoulder and even though he puts on the appearance of being impartial, his narrative always seems to ram the "correct answer" down your throat. TNG was guilty of doing that a little bit, but the Orville is far far less sublte about it. So you're right when it comes to trying discuss philosophical and moral points it tends to fall a little flat, but the show is nevertheless still decently entertaining. But that discussion was what made TNG awesome and not just another SciFi show. I feel like The Orville can only aspire to be like the original Star Trek at best --- Never write off the Doctor! <cite>Doctor Foxx posted [p:888690160] in If you're ...
