Yea loved this new episode! It's really coming up to be what I expected new discovery to actually be! They've toned their humor in general, I feel - and found the balance!
Also, is the season 2 renewal confirmed for Orville?

Just saw E8 and was impressed yet again. In hindsight, it was very Trek, yet I don't recall "feeling" that while watching it. Maybe I was absorbed by the characters, visuals and story that I just don't think of Trek ... it seems to be it's own thing.
I'm adoring this show.

Okay, i've just watched the season finale. This is, for me, the true time for judgement. The series has had time to grow, to ripen, and for building the characters. In my judgement, and i know this might not make me popular, the Orville is easily the equal if not the better of TOS and TNG.
*ducks for incoming*
Let me say that i'm not casual about this. I grew up on TNG... well, from 12 years old then. TNG is what tore me loose from my starwars addiction. So for me to say that the orville is equal to and has at least the potential to become better than TNG is really saying something. I noticed how much i was getting into the show with the "Halloween" episode. But what clinched it for me as being a show that took my heart was the final scene in the season finale. I actually shed a few tears for those two. (not going into any detail to prevent spoilers).
So there. I said it, i judged it.
Let the anger flow through you.... (oops wrong franchise)

So I'm not trying to start anything here, I'm genuinely curious, but what episode of TNG got you 'torn' from star wars? Because although the first episode was good, the first one or two seasons were a little on the rough side.

I see Star Trek and Star Wars as apples and oranges. Star Trek being science fiction and Star Wars being science fantasy. Orville seems to be a branch of the apple tree, maybe a blossom? haha
When I first got into TNG, I started watching SW and couldn't stand it. Everything seemed bulky and grungy, even on the starships. The tech was never explained, so I wasn't into it. Wasn't til high school did it start to grow on me.

Just saw "Mad Idolatry" and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I don't think ST would have taken the chance Orville did with this idea.

It was actually "Encounter at Farpoint"
But you have to understand that this was, for me, the first acceptable sci-fi to come out since the first three (episode IV, V and VI) of the starwars.
The thing that actually got me to pay attention in the episode was *ducking for incoming* Wesley Crusher!! When he came onto the bridge the series had me. Wesley was the same age i was at that time.....
For me it was quite different. I saw the first sw movies, and then there was nothing for a decade. (i was 6 when i watched the three sw movies, back in 1980) when TNG came in 1987 i was ready for something new. I was also a little older so the science behind the fiction made more sense then.

I mean to say, I started watching SW and couldn't stand SW. In SW, everything seemed bulky and grungy, even on the starships. The tech was never explained on SW, so I wasn't into it. Wasn't til high school did SW start to grow on me.
ST was everything I wanted, the tech explained with their own in-universe pseudoscience and technobabble. I was constantly reading schematics and trying to tie it into real life science.
Out of all the time travel episodes, Time's Arrow turned me onto time travel. Got me into Special and General Relativity. Other episodes got me into free energy and other forms of economics. I had no idea that an utopian society was possible.
SW seemed to be strictly fantasy, but that's why I like SW, too. The mystic properties of the Force and the concept of good/evil made sense to me when I was older.
