    I didn't laugh at with its first episode. Did it get better?

    Yes. Like The Orville, it mellowed after a few episodes. Don't view it
    as a comedy, but just as a regular Star Trek show, just with the weird
    bits cranked up, and loads of references to other Trek episodes piled
    on.

    I loved The Orville! I hope it returns soon. It was totally TNG to me.
    So, LD got better. Were they stand alone episodes or do I need to watch
    in order?

    Mostly standalone, but the last episode is definitely a series finale,
    and there's some sensitivity to order in terms of character introduction.
    There are some character arcs going on, and the last two or three eps do link together in terms of Mariner's arc.

    Dave Van Domelen, figures it would probably be best to watch in order
    even if the Main Plots are largely standalone.
