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.
The Orville has more Star Trek Vibe than most recent official shows
More than Discovery. Somewhat less than SNW. Not even close to Lower Decks.
A few years back, it was true, though. Picard…
More then SNW, by a good margin.
Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie
Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.
And Voyage Home
And The Undiscovered Country
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.
I'd put it above all the TNG movies, too.
Good point, at worst it ranks about equally with Galaxy Quest for me ... Sigourney Weaver weights my ranking a lot though
I will agree that those two movies have the absolute best soundtracks of all the movies.
It's literally just camp TNG with juvenile humor, mildly annoying characters, and low stakes.
I'm sure there's no actual juvenile humor in the armed forces.
Someone didn't watch past ep 3
