Greetings, and welcome to the Space Opera Bet.

Today, we take a look at 2 shows that will begin to air in September: The Orville and Star Trek Discovery.

The Orville is a traditional space opera show in the style of Star Trek The Next Generation or Deep Space Nine... but with a comedic twist brought to you by *sigh* Seth McFarlane.




Star Trek Discovery is the newest entry on the Star Trek franchise, which has clearly seen better days. It promises a wild action romp in the vein of the latest 3 movies, in Paramount's further attempt to tell the die hard Star Trek fans to suck it and clear the premises for the new blood, right after the upset about Project Axanar.




So... After that sarcastic presentation and the trailers... Which of these shows do you think has actual promise? Let me know in the poll.

they both look like shit but at least star trek is trying

either way,

>space opera

eh i'll hold judgment on star trek cause who knows. it won't be ~star trek~ but that's not gonna happen ever again with the star trek franchise lmao

what the fuck though how does the set for the orville manage to look WORSE than star trek the next generation? serious question

star trek is so gay lol it soooo imperialist like hmmmm lets travel across the galaxy and o hey there's _**aliens__-0 that look like us and we can communicate with them!!! haha fuck off
