We shall see.... I didn't hate the Orville as much as the critics told
me I would.

I liked the second episode of the Oriville... I'll be watching it again tonight.

I watched about half of Discovery, got tired and went to bed.

Given some of the comments the actor playing the Captain has been saying
and considering that I really just didn't like it much at all, I doubt
I'll even bother watching the second half.

Well, The Orville is not being streamed here in Brazil, so I'll have to see it

using less conventional means...

But give Discovery some time and faith. ;)

Actually, given the cast's latest antics regarding their "support" for
the NFL antics...... I'm not even going to give them a chance.

These celebrities need to start making TV shows and stop trying to impose
their values (or lack thereof) on us. People want to be entertained, not lectured to by a bunch of hollywood elites.

Hope we're not looking at "the death of the franchise".

Perhaps you can lecture me on it, as I am not from the US I did not understand

the context... :)

Well, talking about that would really be off topic and would probably
cause more issues... but suffice to say, these people are actors. Some
of them not even Americans. I want to be entertained by a TV show. I
don't want all the press about it to be about what the actor playing the Captain of Discovery thinks about people who voted for the current
president, or how they all made a big "stand" (kneel) in support of NFL
players who want to protest the national anthem. (For that matter, the
same goes for them.... shut up and play football). Sure, they can
express their opinions, but do it as private citizens on their own time.

None of us would probably be able to protest on our company time and get
away with it.

I wasn't aware of this, interesting. Really, these things should go on to its own contexts..

So anyone actually watch Discovery and like it?

I haven't seen it (and won't be subscribing to CBS so I likely never
will) but am still interested what people think.

Not really liking what I'm hearing about the lack of moral fiber in the
main characters so far... but then again, it's only going on what I hear.

Orville on the other hand, should have it's own echo. ;)
