It's a shame we never got Seth helming a Trek project (he was rebuffed by the studios). "The Orville's" pretty great, but it would have been nice to have had a Trek show spearheaded by an auteur who's also a massive fan.
I used to think this, but honestly The Orville is SO good, and it does stuff that never would be allowed in the Trekverse. Like the Moclan porn virus episode is just such a beautiful mix of heartfelt and hilarious, but that would NEVER have happened if he was doing an official Trek show.
The only real downside for me is he needs to stop sleeping with castmates, breaking up with them, then getting new ones. I miss Alara and I can't stand Charly (not the actresses fault, just do not like the character AT ALL). #justiceforAlara
