    Anyone in particular? I don’t feel taken out of the story by the acting.

    I sometimes think the writing is a bit too obvious, but I guess its hard to come up with something original in a universe with this much content. The actors seem believable to me. I enjoy it because Captain pike feels like the captain, a captain Riker would be.

      I think it’s hard to describe why we don’t like something. I think part of it is because of the annoying personalities. But they won’t be annoying to you, or you would have picked up on it by now.

      I think most people seem to like the show. It’s doing better than Picard I think, which was also crap in my opinion.

      I did like the Orville though, because it did have some actually funny scenes and decent stories.

      The choice to make spock a “Big Bang Theory” Sheldon comic relief was very bad, for example.

        I’m only on the end of season 1 but it’s so super cheesy. He basically went “let anger into my heart”, then proceeded to hit the wall a few times, and now he can’t control his emotions anymore.

        It’s so teenage level, all of this. They could have created something great here but they clearly didn’t care, and just put C level actors everywhere and hoped the audience wouldn’t notice how bad it is.

          Shit, just wait until you hit season 2. In amongst the passable episodes there’s so much bad sitcom material. The tones shifts so dramatically, its hard to know what kind of show you’re watching.

          A lot of people are lapping it up, though. The star trek fans that I’ve spoken to, online, seem to think it’s the best show for ages.
