Just a heads-up: the first episode of SNW season 3 becomes fair game October 17.

      Had an argument with my dad about The Orville. He said it was too ‘woke’ and political. I told him that’s exactly what makes it feel like good classic Trek.

          That’s what I don’t get. It’s like the people saying Sesame Street has gotten too woke. Were you even paying attention the first time? That’s what I liked about many episodes of The Orville: it felt like classic Star Trek because it was pushing the envelope of social and philosophical issues through a sci-fi lens.

          He asked me if he would like SNW and I wasn’t sure what to tell him. The cast may be more diverse, but honestly the plots have largely been focused on action.
