I mean, it could be worse, it could be Roberto Orci in charge, but at the end of the day The Orville comes from a place of love, while Discovery comes from a place of CBS Wants Money.

Yeah, sorry, I was being more than a little unfair, given everything I heard about it. I guess the point I was trying to make was that while people may have expected it to be good, I don’t think anyone expected it to overtake the continuation of its own inspiration AND I was being an insufferable edgelord about it.

I can't wait for Harry Bomberguy to do a video about the HBO series where it's just BBC Sherlock again except everyone is a Japanese woman. Because it's actually interesting to compare the two, I think, and it's weird to see a show that is ostensibly better but then redoes stupid plot points from the british show presumedly just because the BBC did them corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Jul 4, 2019 |

I haven't watched The Orville outside of one-and-a-half episodes, but it does sound like it's a good spiritual successor to Star Trek, albeit with more of a comedic bent. I was also interested to see Brannon Braga produced it.

The Orville is loving weird, especially the second season (which was, straight up, promoted as having "less comedy" in it--possibly a first in TV history). There is, for example, an episode about a hostage situation which is taken completely seriously by everyone involved, but then occasionally the show cuts back to the ship where a weird comic relief alien played by Patrick Warburton eat things grossly so Seth McFunny can do reaction faces and the laugh track can get some use. Tonally it's completely hosed and also Seth Mcfarlane cannot act to save his life

McFarlane may be aware of that. He's really taken a step back in the second season and let it become an ensemble show with him in a mostly straight man role. It's still weird that a show that started out as "Maybe as good as Galaxy Quest if we're lucky" is now just more episodes of TNG with a few jokes added. Although the occasional McFarlane trademark is pretty great, like when he says gently caress it and lets the show's orchestra do a showtunes concert as a major part of an episode because he's a big band/orchestra nerd.

Yea it's probably the best example of why Seth McFarlane should A) be allowed to just do whatever he likes because he actually has some good taste when not churning out Family Guy and Ted poo poo, and B) should also not be allowed to act in anything. Orville never really found it's right tone but the heart was there and it made up for it where you had genuinely solid, very trek like, plotlines where captain Seth and Not Seth Green his best friend have to go undercover in an evil alien base and they learn oh right the evil aliens are bad but not everyone there is some heartless monster and there's actually hope if they can help them overcome their oppressive leadership, and they have to grapple with this plan they have that's basically 'we're gonna wipe a ship full of both civilian and military people to protect a colony of our people from their super weapon'. It's very Trek, it even comes back to haunt them in a later episode, but yea it's made kinda weird when they have to splice in these random jokes because 'wacky Seth McFarlane project!!!!!'

I think the reason The Orville works at all is it generally understands when it's time to put the jokes away and be serious for a plot. And even the jokes that linger tend to be just brief filler conversation or asides rather than pumping the brakes on the whole scene to Tell A Joke.

Like, it feels like he got kinda roped into 'sure we'll finance your Star Trek fan project, but you gotta make it funny, funny man' because I can't think of a joke that I saw that didn't feel very phoned in and tacked on. I guess I'm being unfair though, since I am counting 'jokes' and 'funny moments' differently. There's some genuinely funny moments when it's just kinda 'the banality of serving on a space ship in this era is funny to a viewer in 2019 Earth' like in one of the first episodes one of the new crew just randomly asks what the captain's policy for snacks and drinks on the bridge is. That's a funny moment but it feels way different than the 'and smash cut to the captain having to watch a diplomat eat a big ugly bug' kinda jokes that they sprinkle in.

My personal theory is he had to sneak it by the studio in a form like the far more family guy-esque pilot to get it green-lit. Because it shifts hard to far more Star Trek-esque writing immediately afterwards.

Like episode 1 literally opens on him walking in on his wife boning a blue dude who I wanna say shoots blue jizz on the bed or something, and every other episode is just 'yes we're serious space ship people who sometimes will make a passing joke to each other as we work'.

get that OUT of my face posted:Speaking of RLM, I watched the Star Trek Discovery Season 2 Re:View. Something I walked away with: presumably, Discovery wasn't put on CBS proper because of a lack of audience. Putting it on streaming means that they don't have to worry about pulling in a wider range of views as much, and can cater to the true fans. So why the hell did they make it just another generic, big-explosions-and-epic-battles sci-fi thing? Why shoehorn in a season-long arc that fails to be well-written or coherent? What's wrong with a purely episodic format? None of this needed to happen. Someone in charge on second season was a huge Moffat era Doctor Who fan, such a disaster

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:but it definitely was not an attempt to just be another tng. I can tell you that's absolutely not true. Rick Berman mandated zero continuity was allowed because that sweet, sweet syndication money meant people would get confused if they saw episodes out of order late at night. The Starfleet vs Marquis crew dynamic was put to bed by episode 3 in favour of a perfectly homogenized crew (again, Rick Berman mandate), and outside of being in the Delta Quadrant it may as well be TNG with a ship full of joyless mannequins and a psychopathic dictator for a captain (again, Rick Berman on the TNG-redux thing). The only two cast who consistently put effort in were Robert Picardo and Jeri Ryan, the rest were total driftwood.
