The Orville |OT| MacFarlane's sci-fi com-, wait it's a drama!? That can't be right
- Thread starter berzeli
- Start date
No more football after this episode since it is going to move to Thurdays (so it doesn't compete directly with Discovery)

Does this mean we get another eps this Thursday?
I would normally be upset about a Fox Sunday night show leaving, but that's a pretty good decision. Discovery would kill this show.

yep
Coooool
While I thought the first eps was fairly bad I'm going to give it a chance, I saw enough potential plus I can't get enough Sci-Fi lol
Two amazing episodes in one week?
Then Discovery on Sunday! A good week for space fans
In all seriousness, I'm having dumb fun with The Orville and I'm legit hyped for Discovery but I'm a lone wolf on that one.
It is a good week for space fans...

I was kinda shocked at that, i thought it was a rule after the Heidi game that all gamrs had to play out or maybe that was a rule for another channel.
Wait, I'm confused. Is the show just starting for you? It's been on for 10 minutes for me.
That's weird...
Is that bad?
Yup. I'm going to wait a bit longer to go into details, though.

I'm loving the show and hope to Zues it gets renewed for a 2nd season
It's a lot of fun and I even enjoy the dumb humor.

I couldn't comprehend the critiques of the pilot episode. Were they watching the same show we watched?
There few scenes with the ad-libbing felt horribly out of place. I'm watching the Emmys now, but I'll catch up tomorrow on Hulu.
Well, I'm hoping enough of you have seen pinhead by now. But this episode
has the same plot as the pilot to The Original Series. Which is cool because this is exactly like what I wanted this series to be. Rewrites of Star Trek episodes, but with humor.
But I have to admit that the humor has been lacking a bit.

He really is the worst actor on the show.
That one got a legitimate laugh out of me.
He doesn't know how to emote anything but jerkass
I've noticed several sound effects that are ripped straight from Trek, tonight specifically was the alarm during
the euthanasia protocol.
Watch the first episode for free on basically everything (Google Play, Amazon, ITunes, etc.)

Star Trek with some comedy thrown in
What if a nitrous bottle leaked in the Star Trek: the Next Generation writer's room

I like this show. With the new Star Trek moving to a closed service that I am not going to pay for, The Orville is a close enough facsimile with the added bonus af having some jokes thrown in to boot. Tonight's episode was more drama than comedy which is alright by me. Whether or not it is as good as a classic Stat Trek episode is up for debate (I don't think it was), but I'm willing to keep watching in the hopes that it gets better and fills that sci fi void.
good now watch the first episode for the wood

Yeah that bothers me too because I like the design of everything else (even if it is all very ST)
I see it as their attempt to sort of go with something vaguely resembling an Alcubierre drive, although if each engine can operate independently with the other two disabled, I guess that doesn't make much sense.

Yo ... cannibis brownie on voice command. Nice
Edit: the Obi-wan joke in a trek ripoff is pretty funny

lol wow, the "homage" is so close it hurts. This episode was basically "Disaster" from TNG, complete with a baby, a woman feeling unqualified, and the ship in danger.
