It’s 100% meant to be a Star Trek show for someone that grew up on TNG.

The Orville is clearly a copy cat of Star Trek and is too tier.

Seth MacFarlane is a huge Trekkie and The Orville is him paying homage

Which I think is genuinely incredible. Watching the show evolve from a Star Trek Spoof to a Star Trek Comedy all the way to Just Star Trek was breathtaking.
And to think, one of the most crucial plot points of the show–and how it evolved to encompass bigger and more profound issues–came from a gay joke.
