Oh yes, so much yes. I hate ST:D. To me, ST:D entirely misses the point of Star Trek. How could they write a Star Trek series without a crew? Seriously, there hasn't been a single scene where the doctor cared for patients, the engineer engineered, or any other person actually did their job. They are all just actors clowning around on a sound stage, without any world building or, you know, science fiction. And don't get me started on the characters or the sad excuse of a plot (seriously, the spend SO MUCH foreshadowing on "Klingons attack, Federation wins"???) Ugh, I hate it.

But luckily, there is the Orville. After every episode of ST:D, I would watch an episode of the Orville. Honestly, I would have given up on modern science fiction if it were not for the Orville.

(I don't like modern TV series. I don't like the "bingeable" cliffhangers. I don't like the negativity. I don't like that "epic" CG effects have become more important than likeable characters or a coherent world. I don't like the blatant stupidity of most if the writing. I really haven't watched TV for about a decade. Maybe the Orville is just a throwback to older times. But I like it. )
