They forgot to have him pee  should have had reactions during the credits would have been the perfect gag.It was a very weak season opener would have been fine mid season. They really need to do the TNG thing and do high stakes 2 part episodes for finale and opening. Light hearted romp around the universe for mid season.

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:so a mediocre actor like Seth McFarland sticks out and bad writing sticks out and cheap costumes stick out. The one thing that keeps Orville from being cancelled is that it is literally the only game in town and nerds being extremely salty and defiant about executives trying to turn the new treks into a burlesque piece who took the jam out of your donut

I've asked this before but I never got an answer, but why does Seth have a "Ooooo that drat varmint" *stomp on hat* reaction out of some people? Is it purely Family Guy blowback? Afaik he isn't a creep, he is a good guy, nobody hates him for the person that he is, etc. He hasn't raped anyone which is pretty rare these days even!

I know he's not an rear end in a top hat irl (as far as I've heard), he seems like he'd be really cool to have some drinks with, etc... but goddamn man I was sick of Family Guy reruns when I was in middle school which was in like 2003 when it was only in season 4-5 or so. He'd probably laugh and say he's sick of it too and he can't believe it is still on air but nonetheless it's hard for me to get past his otherwise perfectly fine voice. That said I got over it like halfway in through the first episode. He does a good job. It just made me not want to check it out at all for a while.

As someone who loves the Orville, and knows Family Guy is no longer being made by McFarlane, I want the former show to steal all the viewers from the latter, devouring them like Bortus would a cactus.

snack eater posted:is Isaac fully functional like Data? I don't think it's been specifically stated but he's clearly written to be a stand in for Data. He comes from an entire species with the intent of fostering a relationship with the whatever they are calling the Federation. This leaves open a war where he has to pick a side as a season finale or something else interesting. The show really needs to separate itself from being nothing more than a love letter to TNG. I enjoy it but I want it to be more.

Issac has no interest in being human, as his 'species' is convinced they are far superior to humans. It is Issac's job to study humanity, not want to join it.

we don't need to do the late-TNG A-plot/B-plot thing of "we want to tell a story about worf being a bad dad, but the producers say we have to have a space problem, so also here's a bullshit story about a soliton wave we don't really care about"

If you want to tell parenting stories without any science fiction element write for a drama. The setting was working against the story - the kids have a genius alien robot as a father figure and exploring what that would be like for them is an interesting sci-fi parenting story. Lil Bobby's friend hacks a vending machine and it plays out in a mundane way despite the alien is confounding as well as boring.

withak posted:Orville is Star Trek But Jokes I like it, it just needs to do more to be different. It's also very heavy on character and world building without doing anything on it right now. Stargate Universe was all build up and finally tapped the potential in the last few episodes just in time to be canceled. Orville needs to do something interesting by mid season or they risk losing audience attention. Really I don't want another Universe, that was really heartbreaking to see canceled where it did.
