Honestly, this show is more Trek than the current ("Discovery") and previous ("Enterprise") Treks. Yes, some unfunny jokes here and there, but all in all -- it's a Star Trek show (specifically - TNG). Last few episodes (4-5-6 could have been easily TNG episodes).
Star Trek viewers needs a ton of Suspension of Disbelief, with all the aliens and spaceships and transporters etc., but in The Orville - this SOD is harder to swallow, because of the... let's call it... casualness... of the show - which kinda makes it harder to actually implement this necessary suspension of disbelief.
Considering the current Trek show, I am just left wondering why they just don't give Seth McFarlane write a proper Star Trek show. He is clearly up to the task, and Trekkies (sorry, Trekkers) deserve a good Star Trek show.
