Movies and TV FOX & MacFarlane's The Orville - Page 14

I'm amazed how much LESS SJW is in the Orville than the new ST series.

To me, this looks like TNG with humor. Well, MORE humor...

I’m not really loving it yet. It’s good enough to keep watching and hoping it gets better. I haven’t really developed much connection with any of the characters yet.

Weird premiere date?

Sounds like FOX doesn’t have much faith in it?

Fox screwed the pooch with Firefly, so yeah, they probably don't have much faith in it.

(and no, Orville is not as good or the same as Firefly, but it's definitely good enough. Fox will still fuck it up, you watch.)

What are the redeeming qualities that make Orville good TV? Never watched it but I've went to shows like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia because people swore by it and I;m glad I did.

Also eager to see and learn

It’s basically Star Trek Next Generation Lite with humor.

And it’s far better than what’s currently passing as actual Star Trek.

First episode or two the humor was a little forced. After that, MacFarlane started making the Trek-style show he’d always wanted. Still has humor and human interactions, also pushes some Trek style storylines (gender choice, Internet voting and superficiality, science of a 2D universe, et cetera).

The season opener sucked. Hard. Mercer stalking Kelly, the doctor's brat getting mixed up with a bad kid, Bortus having to go home to pee. WTF? Worst episode of the show so far. Can't believe they used it as a season opener; if that had been the first episode I ever watched, I would not watch again.

No where to go but up, I guess.

What a season opening bomb yuk I had to switch to the Sunday night football game half hour in.

Huge disappointment.

I thought it was great. Only part I didn't like was alara (is that her name?) getting set up with the alien. It's nice having an episode of entirely dialogue. To each their own.
