The other morning I was thinking about the time the Orville had to do a bunch of quick jumps in space around an enemy ship they were fighting.
Then I realized it was a klingon ship and it was actually Star Trek Discovery. :lol
Pretty bad that I got a comedy and drama mixed up because they're both so Trek.

Speaking of Stargate (since the Discovery has a silly giant one built in), there is a new show called Stargate Origins coming out.
Made for internet streaming without a buyer in mind, so probably going to be fairly low budget.
It could still be a decent show if the writing is good.

"stream it first" on https://www.stargatecommand.co/home for a $20 one time access fee as far as I can tell.
I haven't seen any news of it being picked up elsewhere.

MGM owns Comet TV (OTA channel) and runs the old series on it.
There are no other first run shows on that channel, so I can't imagine they'll air it on there.

EDIT: "The show will feature ten 10-minute episodes and be exclusively available to stream on Stargate Command"

I do not have high hopes for a 10 minute show. :-\

Twenty-eight (28). The Kurzweil has spoken. Really interesting times loom. Humanism has gotten so.....blah.

Just catching up with this. It's bad Star Trek, but a great fan fiction Star Trek.

I like some of the darker moments (death scenes) and some of the cussing has been fun. Overall, I'll tune in to see what happens next. :)

It's a train wreck that I can't look away from at this point. The Klingon "twist" that everybody saw 20 miles away is not only dumb, but physically impossible, which spits in the face of the Star Trek law that any scifi in the show must at least seem possible. Sarek continues to be a loving father to his human child, despite the fact that he shunned Spock for decades due to being too human. Btw, why the hell haven't we seen Spock yet? This show is only supposed to be set 7 years prior to TOS.

The mirror universe stuff was a complete waste of time and the latest plot development made at the end of the last episode was beyond dumb and the federation, no matter how desperate, would NEVER do that. Yeah let's put Asian Hitler in charge of a starship... I can't see anything bad happening from that.

Also you know where I complained about all the canon breaking due to the introduction of different tech? Well they've made some really strange decisions in regards to what they kept. They still have the beyond fake-looking and completely cheesy "food synthesizers" from TOS. Same orange door, same sound, everything. If there was any tech on the original enterprise that nobody would have complained about if they updated, it would have been that thing, but they kept it. Meanwhile the view screen, which is iconic and literally changed the way living rooms and home theaters were designed is removed.

I mean we all know how this is going to turn out.... they'll eventually go back in time. Since they still insist that this is the prime universe they'll have to since the Klingons never took over the federation. So I don't understand why they are jerking everyone around with this false drama..... stick to stories of the week because we all know how federation history turns out, especially when this is only 7 years before TOS. It's going to be very awkward if the show goes beyond 7 seasons. Enterprise was a sequel, a fact that I hated, but at least they had the good sense to set it a full century before Kirk so they had some wiggle room in regards to the story.
