For more fun recaps!!

I have started discovery. I didn't know Michelle Yeoh was in it!!

I need to see if he does any other shows currently.

Yes, she is! Also did you notice any episodes written by Bryan Fuller in Voyager? I don't think he got to do much writing for Discovery, but he at least helped start it and pushed for it to be more inclusive.

Yes! He also did some stuff for ds9.
I really dislike the fact that she's called Michael...

Let my know if it's worth keeping up with Discovery. I think I got through most of the first season.

Yeah, at least she was cast though. It sounds like it almost didn't happen when they let go of Fuller.

oh yeah an asian woman and a black woman with the most screen time in the two first episodes? No wonder there are complaints of 'being too woke' |D

And it's weird when there are aliens from other planets.

Have you seen The Orville?

No, I haven't!
Is it good?

I liked the first couple of seasons well enough. Not that great though. Having a hard time getting into the 3rd season, so I only saw a couple so far. He did seem to be trying to make it more like Trek and less humorous than the first 2 seasons.

oooh is it a comedy? That's interesting...

Yeah, but it has serious moments. It does try to focus on moral dilemma the way Star Trek used to. But it's not over the top with the comedy, at least not what you would expect with MacFarlane.

I think I saw a comment about trans issues in orville? But that anti trans people thought it was anti trans, but trans advocates thought it was pro trans.

There is a storyline involving trans aliens, it did seem pro trans at first but it got kind of complicated and probably could have been handled better. I don't remember enough details now. Also they originally aired the first episodes out of order.

Oh that must've been pretty confusing then, to air it our of order @_@

It wasn't too bad. The higher ups apparently though the other episodes would be better to start with. I don't know how anyone can think that's a good idea though.

When it's totally episodic it's ok, but if you have even 2 episodes that depend on each other... it's... weird.
I already miss Michelle Yeoh...

They might have re-edited so it would be less confusing, but I'm not sure.

I've already forgotten most of what happened.
