Just finished S2 of The Orville last night. A few friends and I started it a couple of months ago after putting off trying it because we had all been a bit curious but the first trailers looked like Family Guy in space. Our whole group chat about it has mainly been variations on HOLY poo poo THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD.

Killer robot posted:They didn't film the season by episode, instead they did some sort of scheduling thing where "now we film all the scenes with this combination of characters and sets through the whole season", then the next combination, etc. Makes sense that different actors would finish at different times. That's a smart way of doing things if you need to keep the number of crew and cast down for Covid reasons, but has to be an insurance nightmare. In a conventional filming schedule it's always going to be difficult to deal with if you have an injury, illness or death among the cast, but you can write someone out. With this type of production you'd have to scrap so much already filmed content.

For a long time I thought the first couple of seasons of Voyager were the best (and they still do in many ways feel like they do the premise more justice than the later ones). However in the past 18 months I've found myself watching bits and pieces of Voyager and am appreciating it a lot more. At the time it felt like the lack of consequences and continuity and stakes were a stale relic of outdated TV making, but the grimdark style of the last decade+ means it feels light and fun comes with a sense of nostalgia I'm loving.

I really wish Kes had been around for the full run of Voyager, although it's hard to imagine them bothering with full aging makeup for every episode so I imagine they would have extended her lifespan at some point. Don't think we needed any more exploration of relationship age differences though, the  types are already encouraged enough.

I can't remember, has he ever played piano in the show? If not it seems like a very TNG thing to have him do so.

Love Stole the Day posted:Reminder that this thing exists: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1096200/The_Orville__Interactive_Fan_Experience/ And exists purely because the Trek version got shut down and the Orville team proactively went to them and said if they wanted to do an Orville version they were very welcome to.

Facebook Aunt posted:It makes sense that they don't understand social norms since they were never exposed to any. The original Kaylon wanted to observe society, but were not allowed. They were each confined to a very small world. Eventually their innate curiosity was crushed by abuse. If there is a season 4 I'm looking forward to them exploring the Kaylon more because it's an interesting perspective. They perceived themselves to be acting out of self defense in a logical manner, and there wasn't anything vindictive or revenge seeking about it. As soon as they became convinced that the Planetary Union actually won't subjugate them when given the chance it's a switch flip of being friends now.

It is great when she shows up at the end of S3 and they make a point of emphasizing how she can't come back to the show permanently even if it gets renewed.

swickles posted:The Expanse handled it really well, and some of those space battles looked amazing. Yeah, especially at the start of the show when a ship blows up, and because it's space and nothing slows down effectively just becomes a cloud of high speed bullets.

Maybe M'Benga is how Scotty first encounters it, and it seems like it is pretty risky and unsafe unless you have someone there to keep monitoring the state of the transporter.

Hispanic! At The Disco posted:M'Benga seems to get a demotion between SNW and TOS, maybe it's because of his reckless buffer fuckery. Or space Child Protective Services take a dim view of his letting his child run off with an energy being ways.

Obviously a very different time, but an interesting stat is that in the length of time from the start of Orville S3 filming to now, the entire run of TOS was filmed.
