We've got two new space-based shows to look forward to this Fall. A new Star Trek in Star Trek Discovery and The Orville which is somewhere between a parody of Star Trek and Futurama - although the creator Seth MacFarlane has said it is more serious than the trailer makes it look. Which brings us to the first round.

Star Trek Discovery Vs The Orville: Which show has the best trailer?

Star Trek Discovery

The Orville

Who wins the first round? The Orville is solid fun all the way through, we get to meet a load of different crew members and even a hint of the plot for the pilot episode.

Star Trek Discovery doesn’t have the same energy - even if it ends on a strong note with the original theme and a Starfleet symbol. This is a slightly darker Star Trek, with of course lots of lense flare. Everyone is speaking in bold philosophical statements rather than things real people say - although it’s not as bad as the film Prometheus.

We’re going to give this round to The Orville, just.

Star Trek Discovery Vs The Orville: Who has the best Captain?

The main character of Star Trek discovery is first officer Michael Burnham (played by Sonequa Martin-Green) not the captain. Instead Michelle Yeoh is taking up that role as Captain Philippa Georgiou. We don’t know much about her yet, but she seems to be on the Picard end of the scale of ship’s captains rather than Kirk. On the Orville the captain is Ed Mercer (Seth MacFarlane) he, well he’s not had the best run of luck recently.

This round goes to Star Trek Discovery.

Star Trek Discovery Vs The Orville: Who has the best uniforms?

Two part uniforms are the order of days in the future. The crew of The Orville wear black with block colour panels to signify their role on the ship. The panels are cut to make them more slimming - handy if you’ve had a lot space burgers.

The Star Trek Discovery uniforms are also two-parters with panels but with blue as a base colour and metallic panels which also extended onto the pants.

We asked the fashion team at CelebsNow magazine which was best and they said Star Trek, ‘It's more sleek. Sports Lux is so hot right now. It's a trend for everyone and athleisure is everywhere on the catwalk this season.’

Star Trek Discovery Vs The Orville: Which has the best ships?

The Orville is a sleek looking exploration ship, fresh out of the ship-yards. It’s very fast and maneuverable - we see it dodge and weave past a few other ships in the trailer. It’s not the biggest ship in the fleet but it seems pretty flash.

We don’t know much about the ship in Star Trek Discovery. We’ve been told the series will follow the USS Discovery but the captain (Philippa Georgiou) is listed as the captain of the USS Shenzhou. There are a few fan theories about why this is and we won’t know for certain until the Fall when the series premieres. This round has to go to The Orville for now.

So with two points each we’re going to call this a draw, but it could change as we find out more.
