I’m glad for this. This show is keeping the spirit of Star Trek alive.

I've enjoyed ~~Brave~~ Strange New Worlds. Lots of individual excellent episodes. But Orville's arcs keep me coming back.

Strange New Worlds

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Derp, yes. That one

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Lower Decks.

[-] iterable@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

One of many....

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago

The Orville is such a love letter to Star Trek. I can't get enough of it.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 months ago

Neat, I guess McFarlane got a new girlfriend. Love the show but I’d be sincerely surprised if attention didn’t spontaneously shift based on which cast member he’s currently boinking.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Lol, yeah I wonder who the new young hot cast member will be.

Wow! I had completely given up on this ever happening. Awesome!

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah, scrolling through Lemmy this was a real surprise! I thought this show was gone for good from what I had heard.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Woohoo! S03 was so good! It would have been a shame to end the show there.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yep, finally found its legs just in time to be cancelled. Just like Outcasts 😭

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No! I will not read that!

I’ve never heard of it, but I don’t need yet another awesome sci-fi series to fall in love with only to see it die prematurely.

Edit: I think I may have watched an episode or two of this back in the day, but didn’t get to watch more for some reason…

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago

Firefly IS worth watching IMO even knowing how it pans out cancellation-wise. The movie does a credible job of wrapping things up, even if it can't provide the multi-season arc we would have wanted.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It did start out slightly slow before becoming awesome, but yes you should avoid it. Although it was awesome, they cancelled it at a pretty gigantic cliffhanger in both the main plot and (surprisingly compelling) romance plot. I got to the last episode knowing it was cancelled and was so upset I wished I hadn't watched it.

Edit since I see now there may be some ambiguity - my comment here is specifically regarding Outcasts, not Firefly. I don't think (or didn't see) the Firefly reference was there before their edit.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Ooooo….. now I wanna watch it…. 😬

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Just to be clear, in the comment you replied to here, my description was regarding Outcasts, not Firefly. I'm slightly worried we got our wires crossed there. 🙂 I think the other guy who replied to tell you it didn't age well is talking about Firefly not Outcasts.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 months ago

That image hurt me.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Shit, that looks right up my alley too.

Also “Banished.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banished_(TV_series)

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

That looks interesting, but based on the fact that I'm still talking about how I couldn't handle the cliffhanger cancellation of Outcasts, I think I will give it a miss.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

It’s an empty wound that hasn’t healed

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Star Trek before the Orville: ST:STD, kirk on a motorcycle playing beasytboys, plus dark drama about how we are all doomed!

Star Trek after the Orville: Lower decks, a Voyager sequel series hidden as a nickelodeon show, and ST:BNW doing a musical number were spock sings.

Star Trek future: A school drama and "what-if the sniderverse did an assassin movie in Star Trek"

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

ST:BNW

SNW

"what-if the sniderverse did an assassin movie

What?

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Isn't there a Section 31 movie coming out, or did a dream that?

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

no, it seems there is, with release planned for 2025... i knew that it was originally supposed to be series, got scratched, and i thought the film went same way, but it clearly did not.

Star Trek: Prodigy surprised me honestly

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

With all of the horrible stuff that just never ends in this world, the existential dread blanketing me over the health of my cat, this little thing.. the announcement of a show I love coming back has brightened my day considerably

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

I hope your cat is okay. We just lost ours not long ago, right on the tail of my mom being in ICU for a month (thankfully okay now!), and I know exactly what you mean. I broke down and cried when a friend of mine asked me out to lunch one day a few months later, because it felt so normal, and it felt so weird and strange for something to feel normal and to be happy about it. I really hope your kitty is going to be okay, but just love them and remember the best times.

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Thank you so much for this, Dharma. It's eerily similar to what his sister (litter mate) passed away from and we're just trying our best to hang on. My wife and I both have her paw print tattooed on us (my wrist, her ankle) and It's only been a year and a half. We can't lose our little dude, it's too soon

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

I completely understand. It's sort of insane and completely wild how much you can love something that isn't even the same species. I've got a dachshund who's been plagued with spinal problems. He's been paralyzed twice to the point where I literally had to express his bladder for him, and we've gotten him through it. They're special, and so important. I really hope he's going to be okay. Do you mind if I ask what's going on with him?

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Hey just DM'd you as I don't want to hijack this celebratory thread with cat-sadness. Thanks for being so kind and sympathetic

[-] Traegert@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

I came into this expecting family guy jokes and such and damn I found an actual legit sci fi show

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

YEA!!!!!!!

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 5 points 3 months ago

Oh my this is good news. I pretty much made peace with it being done but am am stupid excited now. IMHO it's become the best star trek show since TNG.
