Did anyone catch The Orville on Fox? I heard it’s playing it mostly straight and not the wacky Trek spoof the promos made it out to be. Which begs the question of how it’s going to avoid a big fat lawsuit from Paramount.
Because Paramount doesn’t own a copyright on science fiction? Even if they played it completely straight, they’re not stealing anything.
After what they did to kneecap fan films, I don’t put anything past them. Remember when Fox was lawsuit happy while drunk off the profits from Star Wars? They went after Battlestar Galactica, and even wanted to sue over Hardware Wars until George talked them out of it.
