It's not perfect but it's funny, fresh and has so much potential. So much better than that CBS YAAAAS QUEEN abortion.
Android confirmed for /ourguy/ and best character.
Has all the heart of Star Trek and none of the JJgrimdark bullshit. Literally a love letter to Trek fans.
Justin Young

Alexander Taylor

Jose Myers
show was objectively awful. Anyone with two eyes and half a brain could see that.
William Diaz
I enjoyed , and want more. As a fan of Star Trek TOS, and TNG The Orville is a next companion to it.
I kind of wish they'd tone down the pop cultural referenced comedy, but I can look passed that because I know today's audience needs it. It works well as a legitimate futuristic science fiction much in line with Star Trek TNG.
Nathaniel Gray
So how much do you get per thread? Can you give me a contact? I'm interested in starting.
James King
Yet there are currently a number of threads on Sup Forums with people praising the show.
Juan Davis
Not bad. I hope this is the last telegraphed convenient plot device though.That's the kind of shit that killed Eureka for me.
Thomas Reed
>but it's funny
Sup Forums is a 18+ only website.
Lucas Scott

Cooper Davis
Why does fox keep giving this hack work? He just got lucky with family guy and it's terrible now anyway.
Easton Perez
I enjoyed it, don't care. Why must you shit on everything that doesn't kiss your crybaby ass?
Ethan Torres
Only people saying it's good are underages and faggots trying to be contrarian since it got bad reviews.
Jackson Diaz
I just don't get how comedy is objective. Comedy is comedy.
Jace Bailey
I wasn't joking, I'm genuinely interested.
Brayden Cruz
nah, mcfarlane is a douche. ima watch the new actual star trek
Charles Campbell
It was terribly unfunny but it actually was interesting and felt kind of nice.
Lincoln Rodriguez
You're assuming, and attempting to derail any legitimate praise for the show. I'm interested in people like you fucking off.
Isaac Williams
thanks anyway you piece of shit.
Anthony Turner

Nicholas Morris
user it was a very very worse version of galaxy quest.
Camden Thomas
lurking for a mega or dropbox as well
Andrew Stewart
Two other threads, plus this one makes a total or three out of 1400 threads.
Three out of 1,400 is a lot?
Jackson Ramirez
>implying Sup Forums doesn't have a large % of contrarian faggots. You must be new.
Isaiah Flores
Man this was so epic! Really REALLY good! I recommend you guys check it out!
Alexander Baker
On such a specific topic, yeah
Logan Wright
>moving the goalposts Oh (you)
Hunter Edwards
Shame no one will watch it and it'll get cancelled. The media is sabotaging it, calling it a rip off instead of fans doing what the real thing refuses to. It's getting ridiculously low reviews.
Gavin Roberts
I'm curious how they take this
Tyler Ross
>moving the goalposts I guess you don't know what that means
Nathaniel Nelson
Fuck yeah, I also enjoyed Iron Fist! Fucking MEDIA, man!
Dominic Reed
Wow anons please give it a chance! To hell with those reviews, what do they know? Watch it and judge it yourself! I enjoyed it very very much!
Jeremiah Ross
Guys this show is AMAZING
Jason Green
I'm not a shill, and I wish there were more shows like it. I'm a real fucking person not making a fucking dime arguing with your dumbass over your stupid fucking generalizations in your delusional mind about shit I don't give a fuck about when it's something I actually like.
So, this is how fucked up the internet is.
I never comment anymore because I know it's customary to hate every fucking thing, but in the rare chance such as it is now that I like something I feel stupidly compelled to prove I'm a real person to a fucking moron who won't believe a fucking word I've typed, because that's how fucked up this all is...can't like anything with fucks ready to hate everything...fuck you...fuck you , and fuck you...
Joseph Clark
Sup Forumsbot hasn't even gone 1488 yet. He's barely said anything, but yea, he does have massive potential.
Jack Taylor
So did I. Defenders was much worse but got way more positive reviews. Either they're all idiots or pushing an agenda.
Jason Butler
No, they're star trek fans.
Tyler Evans
>reddit spacing >getting this mad You need to go back
Nicholas Collins
>Muh dark and gritty plot >Muh super advanced scientific technical jargon > Muh emotional scenes
Wyatt Nelson
I'm laughing now. What is this reddit you mention? I never go there, and I'm accused of it all the time. If you love reddit so much, you should go there.
I invented .....spacing. How do you know so much about reddit. Seriously, go there if you love it so much.
Nathaniel Brooks
man I really can't tell whos shilling, being ironic, or just straight up retarded anymore
Sup Forums you outdo yourself everytime
Tyler Thomas
Nice try Viral Marketing Do you guys here ever learn?
Angel Phillips
>Sup Forums
Connor Campbell
I'm only saying this because I want you to be out of a job, but there's literally no point shilling Macfarlane on Sup Forums. Try reddit.
Easton Lee
heh
Dominic Barnes
I just watched it. Not bad. Its a real show and not just fart jokes with a sci-fi background.
Its got potential.
Nolan Moore
>Newfag doesn't know what cuck means. I bet you also think cuck and NTR are the same thing krill brain.
Ryan Howard
Agreed.
Dylan Perez
It was his typical bullshit, filled with self-aware attempts at humor and parody. He tries to subvert the genre cliches but simply copies them and throws in some 4th wall breaks. He's becoming another Adam Sandler. They hand him money and he turns it into progressively bigger piles of shit.
Kayden Evans
As someone who loves TNG I found the atmosphere very comfortable. I like that the characters are human but not in that shitty grim and edgy way that post-TNG treks do. I really want to like this shit but I doubt they'll be able to polish it up to the point that it no longer feels like a sad fan film. Still guaranteed to be better than STD.
Alexander Watson
He was using the literal definition of "cuckold" from which "cuck" originates.
Jace Robinson
lol wat? he is using cuck correctly, Seth is cucked in the first scene, and it was well done he just nopes the fuck out
Caleb Price
ITT contrarian drumpf. Go back to Sup Forums
Landon Brown
Norm was great in it
Jonathan Harris
An SJW agenda!
Sebastian Thomas
*crickets*
Thomas Richardson
jesus christ the shills are real
Lincoln Gray
Yeah not bad but not great... does have potential though. I will watch a few more
Brayden Thomas
>Sup Forums Greetings fellow authentic 4channarian! I too enjoyed The Orville, airing Sundays at 8/7c, only on FOX!
Angel Gomez
i liked it. but cant stand Seth.
Elijah Fisher
Not a burger and I will be dl it, but thanks anyway
Cooper Thomas
Name a show with a non-white lead. Let's see how long that list is.
Daniel Edwards
>Obvious fucking shills How do they always manage to stick out like a sore thumb?
Chase Jones
>Seth has fucked the mother of dragons
Ian Wilson
Definitely feels more trek-like than what I'm getting from the Discovery trailers, liking it so far. Definitely can see the potential for it to turn to shit, but I guess I'm pulling for it. probably gonna get canceled after this or next season
Adam Torres
Really? apart from the one scene w/ Danny and Luke, I didn't really see any examples. And the Danny and Luke thing is somewhat understandable because the comics have played with their different socio-economic backgrounds.
Justin Richardson
Why is this site so full of high school debate team alternates? Ad hominem this and moving goalposts that. You're so full of shit that It's coming out your eyes.
Colton Myers
Sup Forums?
Haven't been there in years. Perhaps you should go. You're the contrarian. People here like the show, and you don't so that means you're the one contrary to the thread.
Jason Wright
There are 5 threads about this show. It's maybe ok but 5 threads on his glory ?
It's just Star Trek discovery haters because black, because Asian, because woman.
>Haven't been there in years.
That's why you don't understand why all these threads are Sup Forums-related.
John Nguyen
That's exactly what a shill would say.
William Stewart
i enjoyed it. the cuts for commercials seemed oddly timed though
Brayden Davis
>because black, because Asian, because woman. Because JJtrek.
Hudson Cook
Because prequel, because paywall, because shitty JJverse look
Ayden Thomas
Was expecting it to be utter shit, instead 8/10 would watch again. Top comfy.
Only thing that made me cringe was the shuttle docking bit
Landon Howard
I would have liked some kinda tractor beam at least in the hanger, they should've been mushed
Andrew Ross
How exactly?
Luis Campbell
Defending yourself against baseless accusations of shilling is the surest proof that you're a shill
Enjoy your $0.05
Also stop taking the internet so seriously and relax
Charles Edwards
I just asked :"how exactly?", just to see if you'd react. Normally I'd insult about how I won, but since you actually answered I'll just be polite, and say:"thanks.".
Logan Reyes
>brown hair HAnoteven brown but black

Unfortunately, I wasn't the guy who called you a shill, just a well-meaning passerby
But you're welcome bro

Asher Diaz
Being familiar with Seth McFarlane’s body of work, the question I was asking myself going into The Orville was not if, but how long before the show took advantage of its sci-fi trappings to make an alien dick joke. Like a phallus of Damocles hanging over the pilot, McFarlane’s long and dedicated history of easy genital humor made me wary that he created a show in space just to broaden the cosmic scale of his boner joke ambitions. Sure enough the very first joke entails MacFarlane’s Ed Mercer coming home to find his wife, Kelly Grayson (Adrienne Palicki), cheating on him. The tense silence following the discovery is broken when Grayson’s alien partner suddenly ejaculates a cloud of blue liquid from his eyebrows. Surprisingly, the gag ends up providing another kind of release. Having gotten that obligation out of its system, The Orville continues on, mostly dick-free, as the most positive and generally good-natured of McFarlane’s shows. Unfortunately, that mild amicability doesn’t include much of an identity, or even much humor.
The story picks up again a year later, Mercer has taken his divorce badly, and it’s been adversely affecting his job in the Planetary Union. He meets with Admiral Halsey (Victor Garber) who reluctantly offers him a captaincy on the USS Orville, a mid-range exploratory vessel. The only caveat is that the only available first officer for his command is Grayson, his ex-wife. The relationship between the two is meant to be the central tension of the show. Again, as indicative of the general amicable mildness of The Orville, the two aren’t cruel to each other, or outlandish. Both come across as completely reasonable people who are forced to evaluate their failed relationship due to being in unexpectedly close proximity.
Chase Thomas
With the characters and setting established, The Orville doesn’t come across as sci-fi pastiche, it is straight-up Star Trek. Specifically the Next Generation. Every element of the show is rooted firmly in the late ’80s to early ’90s incarnation of the series. From the show’s depiction of a clean, brightly-lit future, to its yearning, inspiring orchestration, color-coded uniforms and the minutest details of the set design. Living spaces are full of sensual abstract sculptures and hanging moss wall art. Even within the confines of the starship, potted plants poke out of every corner of a room. While invoking nostalgia for the soft taupe curves of the Next Generation is potent enough to offer a sufficiently pleasant viewing experience, it’s a question of what The Orville hopes to do by hewing so close to one particular show.
The story is very much a standard enemy species plot line. The ship is sent to a research outpost known as the “Scientist’s Playground” under the false pretense of delivering supplies. The crew flies to the planet’s surface where Dr. Aranov reveals his research team has perfected a ray that accelerates time within a contained field. An alien species known as The Krill found out about the device and want to use it as a weapon. They arrive and storm the science center in order to seize it. Above the planet, the Orville engages with a Krill destroyer as the crew fights their way back to the ship. Back onboard, Mercer and Grayson agree to relinquish the ray, but not before secretly hot gluing a genetically modified redwood seed to the end of the time gun’s barrel. The ray activates on arrival and a massive tree immediately bursts into existence, severing the Krill ship in half. Later, as the Orville secures repairs, Mercer admits that while it’s personally difficult for him to be around Grayson, she’s too much of an asset to let go. Grudgingly, he asks her to stay aboard.
James Turner
He's such a stiff unfunny actor.
concept 10/10 Casting 2/10 Script 7/10
Adrian Clark
Ultimately, the most damning thing you can say about The Orville is that there isn’t that much to say about The Orville. While first episodes are burdened with the ungrateful work of exposition and world building often at the expense of hilarity, it all still feels very slight. It’s not bad, but people in space speaking in a slightly more casual demeanor is not a sufficiently robust conceit to sustain a show. The final reveal shows that it was Grayson who worked behind the scenes to convince Admiral Halsey to give Mercer command of a starship. This reveal isn’t presented as nefarious; it reads like she’s truly trying to help. But is it atonement or an elaborate scheme to try and get the two back together? There’s enough goodwill built up with the general likeability of the characters that turning Grayson into a crazy manipulator isn’t an appealing angle to pursue. Because right now, The Orville’s greatest strength is its general positivity. The chance to see relationships deepen--reply to this post or your mother will die in her sleep--between the characters so far stands as the show’s most engaging aspect. Continuing to borrow from Star Trek not just the pleasant, semi-futuristic wall hangings and uplifting score, but the show’s intrinsic faith in humanity offers The Orville its best chance of developing into something worth sticking around for.
James Taylor
It's the worst thing I have seen in years.
Parker Cook
Pretty much spot on but the network TV show market is already rock bottom. This will do good simply because it's surrounded by utter trash.
What other show would a normie with TV only watch besides this?
Every fucking show is muh feminine power or a crime drama.
Anthony Wilson
Whatever fucking review your posting the 'reviewer' seems to want this to be a comedy, they are really missing the point
Landon Ramirez
>3 seconds in >cuck scene
Nicholas Foster
I'm current watching it now… So far it seems decent, my only complaint is that the sets and the 'world' seem too artificial and clean. Has that very spotless CGI look to everything. That being said, from what I see so far, this is going to be pretty interesting. There seems to be a very good blend of humor, but still drama underneath the humor. So I think it's going to be relatable. That was my main concern for The Orville, that it would be trying to be *too* silly… but from what I see, it seems to be walking that line, very well. The opening…"money shot" was priceless…
So what's your take guys. This Fall/Spring we have Star Trek: Discovery, The Orville and The Expanse...Who's going to take 1st?
