I actually felt the 3rd episode was redeeming somewhat as it had no SJW nonsense that I noticed.

Tiny brown female Chief of Security with no known superpowers. She does look a bit butch, like Tasha the closet lesbo.
So, odds of their experiment trapping them in yet another timeline? Gotta reboot the reboot.
From the tone of things I'd argue they were starting from the mirror universe, but nobody has an evil goatee.

Yeah you're right, the chief of security did slightly trigger me.
But I'm liking the psycho captain, the alien first officer, the production values, the level of blood/gore (not typical for Trek), and the overall dark malevolent tinge they're giving to the show.

I really hope your theory is right, that would make atleast some sense at this point. I could even forgive the main character going all shoot first if that turns out what is going on.

Went to read some Trek forums and reddit threads - basically everyone agrees that this is Section 31 shit. It's too on the nose not to be.
I didnt care for S31 stuff in DS9 or ENT, I always thought that it was kind of a dumb plot device. Having them building an entire show around something that was supposed to be super secret that no one even knew about, seems kinda dumb.
I'll give this another 2 episodes but right now I'm not feeling it.
I will say though that the production values and special effects on this show are even better than the JJ Abrams movie reboots and those movies are $150M-200M each. What a joke.

The section 31 theory makes a whole lot of sense and actually makes the show interesting to me, as it won't just be about the reeeeetard main character. This also gives them a lot of leeway/excuse to dive deeper into the dirty illegal dealings of star fleet and the internal conflicts they were talking about which we saw in ep3, without destroying what we all expected from a star trek show about hope exploration and peaceful nature of the federation, which we can still get from the orville anyways.

Guessing the fungus drive is also prolly how they get time travel etc.
And thats how they are going to make the protagonist right about every stupid thing she did in the first 2 or 3 episodes. SEE GUYS YOUR RACIST SHE WAS REALLY RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO HER STRONG BLACK WOMAN MAKE YOU SCARED. Etc.

It makes as much sense as steering the ship with a tardigrade's nipples.
That episode sucked shit. Dumb ass decisions like opening the dark cell after "anesthetizing" the tardigrade and blowing up Klingon ships over a city and raining down fiery debris.
But the worst thing of all is that all this money went into the Klingon sets, costumes, and special effects and you don't get to see any of it because you have to read dumbass subtitles the whole time.

Was saying going section 31 would be interesting... then they go get a space monster nipple navigator... Some other stupid stuff in between, as usual.
Klingon language is very annoying, sometimes it comes out smooth as with the female klingon, and sometimes it's every word being emphasized and paused as delivered by most of the males. Leave that shit to the movies.
