2. OK The Orville looks like a semi comedic take off of Star Trek.

Uniforms similar, ships similar, flight deck similar. Not a trekkie, but thoroughly enjoy the Star Trek series right from the first season. So will watch,

Star Trek Discovery looks a lot darker than previous series. Not sure I'm ready for that. Also hate that you have to pay to watch the series.

Episodes to be released weekly so CBS has their hook in you for 6 months Sept - Feb, 15 episodes. Commercial free that's $60.

Anyone familiar with CBS all Access, is it possible to sign up at the end of the series and all the episodes are available for viewing so you only have to pay for a month?

Both, please Hong Kong Cavalier Jul 2017 #3

Orville is a no go. Discovery is a big question mark. rogue emissary Jul 2017 #4

I've never seen this before, but I recognize the actress playing Tina Shukshin Pendrench Sep 2017 #19

First time I recognized her was a small part in House of Lies with Don Cheadle. rogue emissary Sep 2017 #20

Orville has potential. As a 1-hour sci-fi comedy-drama it's threading a needle. I wish it luck. Gidney N Cloyd Sep 2017 #17
