It's as much Star Trek as the unofficial Trek movie Galaxy Quest. Doesn't matter if the characters and universe are different, it's got the same vibe to fit in.

    Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie

    Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.

    Undiscovered Country is my favorite TOS movie, even above The Wrath of Khan.

    I can understand why. The motivations and message are a bit deeper than WoK. But UC wouldn't have happened (in the same way) without WoK first, since I don't think Kirk had the same hatred towards Klingons before. Distrust sure, but not revenge level hate.

    UC also has that connection with one of the best TNG episodes, Yesterday's Enterprise.

    The Orville has more Star Trek Vibe than most recent official shows

    It's literally just camp TNG with juvenile humor, mildly annoying characters, and low stakes.

    Honestly I kind of wanted them to keep more of the humorous tone. I know a lot of people hated it and thought it was distracting, but I thought it was a pretty unique take on the genre. I wish they'd toned it down without going full space opera.

    It took me a while to get passed the early episodes, they were a little too “family guy” for me.

    But the show did get pretty good in season 2, and the humour got better (in my opinion).

    I think the humour in the first few episodes was Mcfarlens way of sneaking the show past the network suits - he sold it as family guy meets star trek, then switched on them once it was established.
