With this one I'm taking a "wait and see" approach. I'm in the minority that's not particularly fond of Galaxy Quest, so I've learned to do so.
Not that I don't like parodies of Trek. I admit that there's plenty to riff on. Steam Trek, Robot Chicken, the Voyager Coronary, that time the Voyager cast was replaced with the Frasier cast, all well and good. But those are one offs (or a string of one offs where "continuity" is always understood to take a back seat). But it sounds like Orville will attempt to tell a story, and that means a continuing plotline, and that means backfilling details that were skipped earlier. And from my coverage of TOS's first season you know how much I HATE backfilling!
