--- Quote from: Mike A on September 27, 2017, 01:17:37 pm ---Serialized TV shows often get trapped by their own narrative. Good stories are often ruined because writers have to move the plot along. Star Trek is the perfect vehicle for new stories every week. --- End quote --- The downside of the adventure-of-the-week storytelling though is a (somewhat) consequence-free universe and lack of character development. TNG suffered from this a lot. It's possible to have a happy medium with adventures-of-the-week, but still maintain a coherent overall narrative. Firefly was a good example of that; or it would have been if Fox had aired the bloody series in the proper order. |

My wife and I are really enjoying The Orville. I'm not saying it is a great show (the acting and writing are suspect) but it is a lot of fun. |

ok so 3rd episode seemed like a different series. the weird captain may or may not get annoying. Will keep watching. |

I thought the 3rd episode was the worst so far. A billion forced plot devices, bad acting (looking at you questionably gay science officer, and cadet roommate), more magic than science, and the whole Alice in Wonderland spin fell so flat it was eye-rolling cringe worthy. So far from the first episode the series has been getting worse and worst. |
