Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - most of his books and stories are not that great - hard to read and a bit silly but the underlying themes are what sets him apart.

Yeah, wondered if he had got the name of the book wrong.
Bit of a dull film though.

Gets a reasonable rating, I'll watch out for it.

It's not off to a good start, and I agree on the Klingon reboot. They'd have been better off introducing a different adversary species, (or asking Larry Niven if they could re-introduce the Kzinti they used in the old animated series!)
I've been watching the old Legends of the Galactic Heroes series- even though it's late 80's animation, the writing is top-notch, and inspired by history (reminiscent of H B Piper, Anderson, or Pournelle). A reboot of that is due next year.

Watched about 10 mins. of Orville, seemed to me like a soap.

Didn't get a chance to watch it last night; my wife has a meeting to tonight I do not need to attend. I will try to watch it and then make a determination.
If it is better than Star Trek: Voyager, then that is a start.

I refused to watch it. AFAIK, all future episodes will be on-line only from the CBS site and I am not going to sign up for that just to watch this show so I'll pass.

Orville is pretty bad. STD was okay, but how long before they kill of Yeoh?

I was looking very forward to watching it...
But instead, I have Oprah and 60-freaking-Minutes taped. The epitome of "who cares"!

Yeah my tivo doesn't know what to do when 60 minutes does not end on time. Wow, haven't watched that show in 30 years.

You've watched it more recently than I have. That ticking watch bumper they use gives me nightmares about the fleeting nature of mortality.

Sheepishly, I'll cloud the issue and precipitate yet further stormy discussion.
