The Orville by Seth MacFarlane

I'm looking forward more to this then actual ST. For starters it looks like there's more enthusiasm in this.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'll check it out, but I'm wondering if maybe he's just better doing animation.

I'm concerned this might mean Adrienne Palicki might not be able to return to Agents of SHIELD.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

I liked his live-action movies for the most part. Ted and A Million Ways to Die in the West. Ted 2 was kind of disappointing.

I'm really looking forward to this show. Maybe it will light up the old flame I used to have with TV, because I really miss this positivism that Star Trek used to give me. I mean I didn't realize it then how lucky I was until many years after it went away.
