I hope this series kicks ass.

Along with the reboot of Lost In Space for Netflix, high budget SciFi could make a very welcome comeback.

Me too...I think it'll be funnier for star trek type fans or this type of genre.

Didn't know that was coming. Cool

This looks pretty good. Really liked Galaxy Quest, hope Orville is at least as good or better.

Toby Stephens from Black Sails plays John Robinson but in a twist (of course, because everything has to have gender flipping these days), Parker Posey plays Dr. Smith.

Personally, I think she's a great choice because she plays the conniving, condescending bitch so well. From my understanding, this version will remain dark, like the original season and not be all "campy" like the following seasons of the 60's series.

So we won't see a dopey Dr. Smith and silly interactions with Will and the Robot.

Hopefully, it works.

Parker Posey is great in almost everything she's done.

Looks pretty good to me. And I'm not much of a McFarlane fan.

I wouldn't have even known who he was had the trailer not displayed his name.

3-4 episodes in, you'll hate the guy.

Not his character, but Seth MacFarlane himself.

Then I guess I'll be rooting for Ms. Perkins to kick his ass every week. :-)

Ehhh. Not impressed with the trailer. I like MacFarlane's stuff. I like Star Trek. But this looks weird. Trailer didn't really do anything for me.

still pissed at FOX over Arrested Development.

Sepinwall unimpressed

Sounds like Sepinwall just doesn't appreciate the lower brow forms of entertainment. Not everything can be Sopranos, you know.

Parker Posey? Yummy.

It's getting hammered by reviewers.

First off, it's supposedly not a comedy, despite the first trailers. It's serious, with "Bro Humor" thrown in as an afterthought. It's basically a homage to Star Trek but it's also a homage to The Twilight Zone (?).

Every review I've read said that the VFX and sets are phenomenal but the show just doesn't know what it wasn't be and that it's very confusing.

We'll know soon enough.
