Fresh eyes 
Well I agree that TV has to move on, I mean a pilot like "Encounter at Farpoint" wouldn't have made it into a printer even these days. But I don't like it when people want to keep riding on the success and story of something that already exists but not respect the fabric of that universe. I might as well be reading Harry Potter slash fan fic. It's very odd to me that The Orville is more trek than Trek!
Genuinely I don't think the series is terribly well done - I find it a bit confusing and hard to follow - why are they there, what are they doing and so on. (But I'll admit part of that could be because I can't get that interested in any of the characters (bar the Irish Romulans, who are now not in it) so I get distracted by my phone 
.) Regardless of feelings about Trek I think I'd be allowed that gripe. The whole bizarre sexy show on the Borg cube is just annoying and lame.
IMO the thing that made Trek great was the moral dilemmas, not the space fights. There's plenty of other sci-fi to watch if you want laser fights. There was an inkling of depth now in this 7of9 episode, but they didn't do it terribly well. OTOH that is quite Trek, to not to anything terribly well, which is why people are itching to "improve" it, haha.
The Trekverse has spent a lot of time telling us about a future where there is no money on Earth (making encounters with the Ferengi, who are profit-driven, so bemusing to the people of the Federation), no poverty, no class system, no wars, no crime (almost). If that is to be deconstructed they need to be credible about it and I don't think they are. They're just using the names and places to tell their own story which I think is disappointing. I mean, the Dominion wars were upheaving and could have led to all sorts of societal changes. They could start there.
