nameraka Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 any opinions? i need to know whether or not it's worth 30 minutes of my very valuable time. https://www.youtube.com/theorville?cmpid=org%3Dfbc%3A%3Aag%3D360i%3A%3Amc%3Dcpc%3A%3Asrc%3Dgoogle%3A%3Acmp%3Dthe-orville%3A%3Aadd%3Dthe_orville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameraka Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 edit: replaced the image with a screenshot of the scene where Brian gives Stewie a rim-job because it's worse (fox eventually banned it) so is that... like a "no" then?

Jman Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Basically Seth can't act in live action and this is less a spoof of Trek so much as it's outright plagiarism. Also it's not really a comedy per se. Fail all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 after the first episode it looks like it could go either way, but it doesn't inspire faith... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa Ounze Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think it's terrific honestly, there have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse attempts at sci-fi series, and even sci-fi comedies for that matter. Although it doesn't just stay comedic. It bounces between some laughs and humerus situations to sci-fi, and drama. Not a ton of action so far, but they tend to pace it much like a Star Trek episode more than Star Wars and new Trek. So far it looks beautiful, it has a few laughs, and they can obviously tell a sci-fi story based on the 2nd episode. As a Star Trek fan for years I would suggest it, and millions of others enjoy it and would as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still rather watch a real star trek show than Seth Macfarland's blatant rip-off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa Ounze Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Just because it's an exploratory ship/crew, and a futuristic union of planets doesn't mean it's a complete ripoff of Star Trek. Star Trek beat everyone on the topic, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones who can have a stab at it or dream of a future in space allied with other planets. That's just silly. I have watched A LOT of sci-fi shows, this one is not bad at all. It's actually better thus far than Star Trek Enterprise in my opinion. Bottom line is what I said is true: It's already gained millions of fans, it looks beautiful, and they can tell a decent sci-fi story as they have shown in episodes 2 and 3.

CAC Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I actually enjoyed the first 3 eps so far. I was expecting full on parody, but it's not, it actually has more to it than just comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger_Jules Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 At first, I didn't care for it, but since episode 2, Orville has managed to find it's emotional and creative center. Episodes 3 and 5 have especially helped this show grow it's beard. I guess the pilot was just warming up the show for the far better subsequent episodes. It's grown on me.
