Right up until the movie Arachnophobia... Spiders in movies do not bother me much. Spiders in video games, get to me depending on the game. And in person, I hate HATE spiders. Creepy things.

DocM Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 We have a pet Goliath birdeater, a large tarantula, and she's about 13 in/33 cm across the legs. Wanna meet her? Mando 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna meet her? Only if I can bring a flamethrower! I went to a reptile show with my cousins years ago and one vendor had a bunch of these. Of course the younger one loved the big spiders. I told her in no uncertain terms that if she got one of those she was walking home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted December 1, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2017 Solid episode last night..2d space/lifeforms was weird/interesting. How did the Orville not destroy the 2d space/life around it (I'm guessing because it is a TV show)? Good humor at the right spots! +Raze and FloatingFatMan 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatingFatMan Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Agreed! Another strong episode, though I was hoping we'd get to see the 2d lifeforms as well. I got a strong Tron vibe from this ep. DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted December 9, 2017 Subscriber² Share Posted December 9, 2017 Last episode was very Star Trekish. And, like other entries in the series, pretty even-handed on the cultural commentary. What was that game called? Latchcum or something? I'm horrible at hearing things right. Gotta try that PB&J thing some time, though. So this season, not the greatest show ever, but still good to watch. Glad it is getting a season 2, they might tune it up some.

It's got that "Classic Trek" feel that Trek fans want and aren't getting from STD. Seth had a stroke of genius when he hired Braga for an exec producer as his years of experience with REAL Trek is showing quite clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that STD isn't going with a episodic format, it doesn't have to last for 8 seasons to do its job. In many cases lots of TV shows run for 2-3 seasons more than they should story wise.

+Sledge Subscriber² Posted January 15, 2018 Subscriber² Share Posted January 15, 2018 Finally got around to watching this. Very enjoyable has it has the basics of Star Trek with a bit of real life thrown in. Funny watching people try and deal with ###### hungover which you just don't get in traditional Trek. Looking forward to Season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mando Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 ive given it another shot and im beginning to like it, watched 2nd or 3rd episode i think it was with the brooding on the egg bit, i giggled like a schoolgirl with the butt shot....i know childish but im finding it quite amusing the more i watch. the script writing is pretty funny, not quite what id expect from Seth, but its good, very good infact.

But yeah, Star Trek Discovery could have just as well been a scifi series by another name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have just done what the fans wanted from the start, and gone back to the prime timeline instead of all this prequel crap that no one asked for, and no one wants.

Prequels are fine but Discovery changed the feel of ST. Previous series, there was a main seasonal plot/story line but was broken up by other instances and adventures. Discovery just focuses on one thing/plot. Best if it was just a movie and leave it at that. The Orville has the same feel to it that ST fans like.

True, but for a season opener a little more excitement would've be nice. That was more of a mid season episode. Peresvet and Nogib 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
