When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by season 2 I found myself loving this show.

To me it seems as every bit as comfy, intellectually interesting and even funny as some classic Star Treks while still clearly being its own thing. I wish more comfy space shows like this would get made.

What are your thoughts on The Orville? Also I miss Alara.

When Orville started and all we had was Discovery I'd agree, but Trek has pulled itself together of late with Pic S3, Strange New Worlds and Prodigy. The last few episodes of SNW have been amazing.

I might check out Strange New World, seems to get mentioned a few times.

But you ain't getting me to watch Picard, lol. A show that very clearly should have been a direct continuation of TNG... Unless season 3 is Picard waking up in his quarters and everything that happened before (in Star Trek: Picard) was just a terribly written nightmare... From perhaps drinking to much... Uh... Well it was green.
