I’d love to see Season 4 happen because Season 3 was some of the best recent space SciFi made. Certainly beats the piss out of whatever the hell Star Trek Picard Seasons 1 and 2 were…or basically all of Discovery.

At least I have Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds to look forward to.

Lower Decks has been a real breath of fresh air for Star Trek.

Given that they’ve started to make decent Star Trek again I kind of don’t care anymore. It did a good job of demonstrating why old style Star Trek should still be popular, and I feel sort of like that was really what the point ultimately was.

You’re comparing it to star trek? Give your head a shake. Seth is a subspecies when it comes to Star Trek captain charisma. it’s closer to stargate when it comes to ripping off characters like tealc. And even lexx had more storyline. and you’re drunk if you think discovery wasn’t good. Go back to eating the wall.

You only say that because You were never a Trekkie enough to know the difference.

Based on your update/downvote ratio compared to mine, you seem to be in the minority, bud.

Is it because he was wrong, or because he was being an asshole?

The word is that he hogs the writing for the show. This is the main reason for no season 4.

Meanwhile, Disney want to show to go back to the season 1 format of a joke every minute. I’m not a fan of the painful jokes from season 1.

Production for the show was also painfully slow to the point where some of the actors were living on ramen noodles.

It’s not going to happen

Season 1 was Family Guy Star Trek. It was okay but as I kept with it, they dropped some of the humor in favor of more dramatic issues. I enjoyed the later seasons but if they circle back to season 1, then they may as well just cancel it.

That’s where I’m at. I groaned at most jokes in season 1. If season 4 is like that… Cancel it!

Season 3 stories or writing were some of the best especially the one with topa

Eh, one of the weaker episodes in my book.

It was missing a b-plot, which is a big no-no in writing Star Trek. It focusses too much on one story, instead of interweaving multiple.

The message was okay though.

I think they finally got the humor/drama ratio right for Season 3, I would be really happy to get a Season 4+ if they are going to maintain that sort of approach.

Thank god! I’ve been a fan since it was announced way back when. For Christmas this year, my sister-in-law bought me “The World of Orville” and the physical collection of the comics, as she knew I bought the digital ones.

I very much look forward to another season!

If you read the article it’s pretty clear that he is in denial of a dying project. The other actors are tired of him faffing about and are doing other projects. Even if it lives another season its not going to be good.

Yeah check this interview out

https://youtu.be/Zklxb1PXFHM?si=ZLxwr6kLgfhd1a5S

55 episodes over 5 years? The actors can be locked into a project like that, even if the show really is excellent, they have to eat too.

Also I never knew those two cast members were married breifly

Yes, please. Season 3 was horrendous. It’s just full of tropes and downright idiotic decisions in every episode I could get through.

Just stop while you’re “at the top”, like Stargate.

Stargate?

You mean the show that kept going by replacing the main cast?

I liked it all but they wrung every possible episode out and then released a couple of movies.

There is not going to be (a season 11 of Stargate SG-1) on U.S. television. Our contract with MGM prohibits it. It’s done a great job, rejuvenated with the additions of Ben, Claudia, and Beau, but we think we’ve come to the end of those stories. We really felt like it was the right time to segue out, for the show not to overstay its welcome.

I’m glad they stopped Stargate SG-1 where they did and didn’t pull a Marvel on it. Stargate Atlantis was OK, but not as good as Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Universe was crap. The new Stargate about finding the Stargate was just crap and I doubt anybody involved in the original SG-1 series was actually involved.

Yeah because I remember Universe being really successful

Sorry, the quote was about SG-1. Indeed, Universe was the wet dream of an incel.
