There should be an Orville community there because the Orville is a Star Trek show.

I just started watching that show a couple days ago

What do you think so far? Season 1 has some pretty good episodes—something you can’t always say about Star Trek proper.

[–] gun@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it was just going to be a parody of star trek the whole time like space balls was for star wars, but it had some interesting concepts and a lot of character development. Not what I expected at all, but I love it.

It gets better, too!

Hey, if it stars an extra from Enterprise, it's canon.

Cassidy Yates is also a regular there so double canon?

[–] buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Voyager's Doctor makes an appearance too

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If we count all the guest stars (Picardo, Sirtis, Billingsly, Russ, etc) and directors (Frakes, McNeill) together, it might be close to triple canon then.

Edit: Couldn't leave Tuvok relegated to "etc".

And it has the (sniff) ideology of Trek

[–] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

The Doctor vs. Phlox, even. Turns out Phlox was a bit of a dick.

Marina Sirtis is in an episode as well.

... and some more I'd forgotten about: https://screenrant.com/orville-star-trek-actors-cameos-every/

That makes Babylon 5 canon as well.

[–] jackiebrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Speaking of.. Did you see the trailer for the new Babylon 5 movie?

I miss The Orville! It filled a huge void for me.
