    Hello everybody.

    We have about 10 days until Star Trek: Discovery premiers.

    I'm excited! What about you?

    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... :)

    To which Drew Klenotic replies...

    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.

    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. ;)
