So, the show The Orville debuts in 1 week. What do you think

I think The Orville would be much better received on /tv/ if it didn't have a voice actor trying to be a real actor.

Orville will be mediocre and /tv/ will say that it's the best shit ever.
STD will be mediocre and /tv/ will say that it's the worst shit ever.

Are any of you of the opinion that this show will some how become part of the Trek Cannon if Star Trek Discovery bombs?

>Seth MacFarlane's new Fox sci-fi comedy isn't the Seth MacFarlane sci-fi comedy that Fox wants you to believe it is.

...the show isn't at all what it's being sold as. It happens that it's easier to sell The Orville as a rollicking comedy filled with Seth MacFarlane one-liners, goofy aliens and sci-fi gags, rather than as a very earnest homage to the original Star Trek in which an hourlong runtime allows for some character-driven comedy, but also a lot of sincerity. It's not Galaxy Quest...

>The retro-futuristic effects are fine, the production design is top-notch, and the humor is mostly lazy, with a few exceptions. MacFarlane does many things spectacularly well, but I don't find him a very interesting leading man — and he's definitely meant to be that here. His character also comes across as more of a dick, and as more of a dick more consistently, than MacFarlane or the show realizes. Scott Grimes and Adrianne Palicki have the most screentime of anybody in the supporting cast and both are fine, with Grimes having the more fully realized role. It's funny/odd to see Halston Sage buried in makeup as an alien security officer. And the joke with the Norm Macdonald-voiced goo, a central piece of early trailers, is that character's only appearance in the pilot.

STAR TREK SHOULD HAVE BEATEN THAT ONE NOTE CUNT MCFARLAND AND DID A COMEDY STAR TREK SHOW THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF ANOTHER DEADLY SERIOUS SNOOZE FEST LIKE DISCOVERY WHICH I WILL NEVER WATCH!!!

I WOULD HAVE MADE A 12 EPISODE SERIES FOR NETFLIX, MADE IT R-RATED AND FILLED WITH SWEARING, FUCKING, KILLING AND CALLED IT STAR TREK: DARK STAR AFTER THE 1974 JOHN CARPENTER/DAN O'BANNON CLASSIC!!!

I'VE EVEN GOT THE SONG I'D USE FOR THE THEME RIGHT HERE!!!FACT!!! https://youtu.be/DdKsrotr6PU

No joke, I'm waiting to see what /tv/ thinks before I download it, and if the majority acts like they hate it and it's the worst shit ever, I know it'll be great.

It will probably end up being a better Trek show than the new Trek will be.

Doesn't help the new Trek show that its being released on a proprietary streaming service instead of being shown on TV. The average pleb will watch the first episode then wonder where the next one is the next week. Eventually CBS will realize how badly they've fucked up and try to show the rest on TV. By then everyone will be watching Orville and no longer care.

It'll end up doing better than Trek because it isn't alienating its fanbase by shoehorning in boardroom approved ""diversity""
