Why Do nerds think this is the best show ever

Hear Hear!

Not sure why nerds would be angry at stds. They rarely get to even have sex.

Yes, exactly. These episodes of Orville are like they shot the wiki synopsis of a Star Trek ep. All the nuance is missing.

I think you're right they're too close..I was obsessed with Star Wars from 78-83 but man, when Return of the Jedi came out I flat out didn't like it and really never bothered with it again. I know some people are the exact opposite that they loved ROTJ.

For me when I watch it's like it's the missing link between the goofiness of Star Trek Original and Next Gen, some of the stuff in the Kirk years was hilarious, I mean Playboy Kirk, some of the storylines and etc., come on.

So yeah not a show I think too much about, it's the okay time to take the brain out TV time and enjoy something a little less intense, kind of goes in hand with Hawaii Five-0, MacGyver and even The Blacklist really, just a bit of light fluff to balance out the more serious shows.

This came up elsewhere the other day, and I actually started thinking if it is because I'm in Australia and these shows are on for the most part during our Summer (Dec - March) if that makes me more relaxed about how I watch them. You know, you get to night time sun is going down at 9pm or so, it's been a long hot 42 °C (107 °F) day you want to sink a few beers and chill for a bit, you don't want to really think about what's happening on TV too much.

Where as in Winter the brains not so dead and you can hibernate to an extent into watching shows with a bit more to think about and binge on them a bit. Kind of like in winter you really sink your teeth into a good book and in Summer you just go for light reading, basically sitting out on the back deck reading a book or watching TV you're just looking for something to pass time while you chill not to stimulate you (as you know sleeping on a summers night will be difficult).

You take TOS and TNG, mash them together, then replace some of the good stuff with silly humor, water it down and pander to SJW hollyweird a lot, and then try to subvert expectations a bit while still following all the clichés, so you connect every dot faithfully without much originality, and you got this show.

And of course you replace the interesting characters and charisma of the originals with goofiness and watered-down versions. Data, Worf, Kirk, Spock, Bones and even Scott are so much interesting and likable than any of this show's characters.

So it's like a 'wannabe-child' of the better Star Treks, but doesn't quite reach the mark. Entertaining, enjoyable, but flawed and predictable - funny and passable, but in the end, as a whole, boring and forgettable - it makes you miss the better Star Trek shows.

actually I found God, I am doing fine, can't wait till season 3 now lol went a little psycho there. Was a tough time in my life.
