The Orville

>>87625122
I don't think about it. When I first saw the commericial for it, my only thought was "It looks awful".

I don't get how it even got greenlit

Was not what i thought it would be.

First episode is slow, be i can see thibgs I like, and I am hopeful that it may be a good show, but knowing fox it will be canceled after 1 season.

>>87625165
Star trek.... with Seth McFarland.

Its nerd and fart jokes, we will make millions boss!

>>87625122
Pretty damn good. Discovery shills are paid to bash it, but I liked it.

>>87625288
Discovery doesn't have me intrigued. But Orville, i liked it. And i hope it does well.

Every single joke fell flat. The banter was tiresome. The captain/first officer relationship is trash.

Other than that, it's fine.

>>87625122
Dog shit

8 is too many
they should kick out 2.

>>87625122
I really enjoyed it.

>>87625165
SO you pre-judge shit about even watching it? Kill yourself, nigger.

>>87625213
I don't think there was a single fart joke. There was a banana joke.

>>87625454
The jokes fell flat? Were you under the impression that there was a studio audience and no one laughed?

Not a good Star Trek parody. Not a good Star Trek rip off. Not funny. Not dramatic. Not sure who the audience is for this piece of crap.

It's a more faithful Star trek series than Discovery. Which is sad.

And the character traits are really neat.

You have the helmsman who is legendarily brilliant, but can't get any posts because he's reckless, the Captain who was considered a rising star with potential for grandeur, who sank to the bottom after a bad divorce

and the rest are sort of Star trek stereotypes with side quirks. And the other characters are enjoyable in their own right, with their own quirks.

and the idea of that captain, getting his ex wife as his first officer, is brilliant potential.

the plot was way more star trek than it had any right to be, but with some more levity.

It was like Star trek without the soapy melodrama, and with a more lighthearted edge.

>>87625613
Did anybody laugh in real life? For the sake of humanity, I hope not.

>>87625454
>Every single joke fell flat. The banter was tiresome. The captain/first officer relationship is trash.

>Other than that, it's fine.

what did he mean by this?

>>87625677
Music, fine. Aesthetics, fine. Storytelling, fine. It's all fine when they aren't trying to be funny.

>>87625665
You sound like an arrogant prick. Do you have any friends?

>>87625665
i laughed in pretend life

>>87625747
This and really it's just seth macfarlane's jokes personally that fell flat. The helmsman and navigator bantz were great. The big guy alien was also pretty good deadpan funny.

>>87625122
Norm MacDonald?

Never once.

>>87625665
Laughed at the holodeck ogre being a bro
Laughed when the black guy wanted to bring soda on deck
Laughed when the alien emitted fluid from its face
The robot was pretty amusing
Probably forgetting a few scenes, but this thing was full of honest laughs

>>87625775
Are you implying that there's something wrong with having no friends? This is a bully-free zone, you bully.

>>87625122
It was pretty comfy and I enjoyed it.
Certainly better than STD so far.

The pilot was meh, but I'll watch a few more episodes and give this show a chance.

>>87625985
How many episodes into STD are you?

It's a mediocre comedy and a poor Star Trek knock-off. It's probably the best looking fan project I've ever seen, aside from Axanar though.

Compare it to other Star Trek pilots and it really gives us no reason to continue to tune in, other than to see if the captain and first officer reconcile. They don't set up any kind of grand adventure or mystery, or real premise outside of "it's just like Star Trek". There was no morality or deeper themes at play, just a run and gun adventure that younger audiences would probably enjoy. It didn't have the wonder of TNG's first episode, the world building of DS9 or the action and stakes of VOY.

Also, the black navigator is a horrible actor. You need someone much, much funnier in that role, who can emote more.

And no, I don't think STD will be a good show either.

Star Trek needs to be laid to rest.

It's both. Where does the confusion come in?

>>87626497
It's a stupid DS9 retard who legitimately can't understand anything that isn't a lowest common denominator soap opera

>>87625122
was alright. Wasn't particularly funny or anything but it was engaging enough. Felt like a more lighthearted trek

>>87626497
The commercials make it seem like a complete parody that you can't take seriously but /tv/ tells me otherwise.

>>87625122

The comedy angle isn't working because the jokes are lousy, and as a 'space adventure' it's not faring much better.

Galaxy Quest showed how it should be done, comfy, loving, let's-poke-fun-at-Star-Trek with a bunch of likable characters.

>>87626544
Here's a fucking mind blowing idea for you -- might want to sit down -- Watch it and form your own opinion.

You can worry later about whether or not to watch the rest.

McFarlane should have swallowed his ego, accepted he'll never get to make a proper Trek show and gone full comedy.

A full comedy sci-fi show taking the piss out of chronically self-important Star Trek would have at least rocked the boat for a season. And it really wouldn't have alienated fans, most trek nerds have a really good sense of humor about it.

This is just going to get buried after the rest of the fall debuts.

>>87626568
Your Galaxy Quest description also works perfectly if you replace "Galaxy Quest" with "The Orville."

It's a great show, nails the aesthetic and feel of classic Trek perfectly. The jokes are weak but also pretty light anyway, it's clearly more of a homage than a parody.

It's nice to see proper Star Trek back on TV, STD can go fuck itself.

>>87626526
Why are you so rude?

>>87626627
Nah, I don't want to waste my time watching a parody especially since Seth is in it.

>>87626448
No, no, I meant based on the first episode of the Orville, here's where it places relative to other series in their entirety.

>>87626681
How is that not exactly what this show is?
And I don't want to hear about trekkies being good-natured about taking a ribbing. I saw a thread earlier full of assmad trek fans crying in their blue milk about how McFarlane was "mocking the fans and poking fun at the things we love about Star Trek."

>>87626725

>>87626759
Because the jokes are weak and low hanging fruit McFarlane is pulling his punches and it shows because he still wants to make it a serious sci-fi show.

It's like they took the plot of a Star Trek fanfic and wrote some Dad jokes into it. He's riding the gas and the brakes at the same time. He just needs to put the hammer down on the comedy.

Also most trekkers do have a good sense of humor about it. 4chan, and especially /tv/, are not an accurate cross section of the rest of the world.

RT is wrong in general. You can't really trust the critic reviews because the broken ruberic and you can't really trust the viewer reviews because of fanboys, sock puppets and shills.

What I want to see is the actual ratings after a few episodes.

>>87626694

>Your Galaxy Quest description also works perfectly if you replace "Galaxy Quest" with "The Orville."

Only if you remove 'comfy' and 'likable characters', and add really low brow humor.

The bitching between Seth and his ex-wife was tired after 20 seconds, yet I fear this shit will go on through the entire season, or how many episodes it gets before it's cancelled.

>>87627019
I posted this already read the fucking thread faggot.

>>87627095
The first 3 episodes were already released to the critics.

I watched it, didn't like it.

There was a scene where the ship is pulling out from the docking station, and I was expecting something to happen, anything. Like in Galaxy quest they pull out and scrape the side of the ship, but nothing nada just one long wank scene of OH LOOK HOW COOL THE SHIP DESIGN IS. Mcfarlane always got to basically jerk himself off on tv but this time people actually have to look at his smug fuckface instead of animation.

>>87627019

That looks worse than the Orville cast, looks like 'refugees in space'

>>87627095
Who fucking cares about reviews or RT at all? Seriously I've lived my entire life not paying any attention to film or tv show reviews/critics and I have not missed a thing. If anything, I'm more open minded than most film "fans" because of this.

>>87627154
Yeah, but I want to see ratings after they air. I don't think this show is going to do well, but I don't trust aggregator sites. I want to see the data.

>>87627113
So don't watch it then. Why live in fear of a tv show doing something you don't like? Are you required to watch The Orville as a condition of your parole or something?

Didn't like some of the jokes. Thought having the cheating ex-wife become 1st officer was stupid, but can let it pass since it's a comedy.

I liked that they don't use teleporter technology and thought it was cool that so many different aliens were shown.

Give it a 7/10 has potential but can see it going downhill hard like The Last Man on Earth did.

It's a pretty bland show, not terrible but nothing to crow about.

Watching /tv/ do backflips to defend it is more entertaining than the pilot was.

Well I'm not the guy you were flipping your shit on. But the pilot didn't really wow me so I'm not going to keep watching it.

Dude ants are the fucking worst. I had ants in my kitchen not long ago, I have no idea how they even got in. You know what you do when you have ants? Don't spray down your counters and all your shit with pesticide, that's dumb. What you do is you get one of those lighters, like the long one you use to light a BBQ grill? And then whenever you see one of these little prick ants you torch him with the lighter and leave his crispy dead ass right where he is. Every time you see one of the ants, flame his faggot ass and leave him laying. The only ant you don't torch, is when you see one of the ants headed out carrying one of the dead ones. Why? He's carrying the dead ant back to the hive. After a few ants do this -- carry their dead back to the hive -- the ants will decide it isn't safe and will leave your home.

like maybe if mcfarlane had less ego, he would have casted a lead with actual presence and charisma. Likability, acting ability, the list is very long. Look at this smug piece of shit, stay behind the camera, in the writers room where you belong.

>>87626284

the first season of lexx is kino though, nothing like it exists.

>>87629050
I agree, Seth should just take a page from Tarentino's book and give himself cameo roles if he really wants to be on screen so much.

Captured the spirit of Star Trek: TOS and TNG, lightly shaken with some light humor and trope ribbing and then played straight.

It's a Trek show without grimdark.

maybe 8.5/10 for the pilot episode. I really really enjoyed it and I hate McFarlane in general.

>>87629050
I don't think his character is supposed to be charismatic. Maybe not even likable. And the word is "cast" not "casted." Jesus you sound like you fell on your head or something.

>>87628198
At the end of the third season, he was told that he wouldn't get a fifth, so he had to wrap things up in the fourth. Then the fourth season did so well that he got a fifth, forcing him to improvise. The quality went way down as a result.

I liked the first episode well enough, I'd say 7 out of 10.

There wasn't anything really amazing about it but the special effects were neat and the setting was comfy and it delivered a decent if not particularly imaginative scifi story.

The only bit I really didn't like was the cuckoldry/ex wife plot line. It didn't deliver anything new or interesting and the jokes it generated were all things you've seen a million times in generic sitcoms. This is a scifi series that means you can go crazy places with the humor like Futurama did you don't need to show me a cliche' conflict between estranged exes unless they're like two heads on the same body or something.

>>87629806
Hopefully it wont turn into a sappy cringefest like Futurama did.

>>87627167

The first episode isn't great but it has potential. Too many jokes fall flat and are dragged out for too long. For example, the dog licking its balls in the background was a slightly amusing joke. However, having two characters then talk about it afterwards was painfully unfunny.

well macfarlane's really not funny. his self inserts have always been the worst part of every project and now he's the focus.

>>87634203
But he's not even trying to be funny most of the time, its played very straight, thats why 'the jokes fell flat' line seems like blatant shilling.

>>87634273
there's literally a toilet seat being left up joke. it can be in character all it wants, it's awful.

>>87625165
Huh. That's funny, that's similar to the first thought your mother had when you came out.

>>87634193
>makes you believe in shills
they are not make believe, young one. you can go buy them yourself right now through the internet. its not illegal, but that doesnt make it right.
you can buy shills to shill whatever you want for money right now for anything.

>>87634333
Yea as always Seths 'jokes' are lame, the 2nd in commands response was pretty funny though, and again the less humor the better, say a joke if it doesn't work fly on past it, the more serious the show gets the better it will be

>>87634151
It's a paid talking point for Trek shills trying to shut down the competition in favor of the upcoming Gold Tone Star Trek asininity.

>>87634338
I am definitely much older then you, and your right I was just making a point. CBS shills do better, obvious reposts are obvious.

Being cucked by an alien in the first few minutes by an alien. Something many of us can relate to.

>>87634533
can you type alien again?

The only jokes I liked were natural-feeling ones like the friendly holodeck program, Norm MacDonald blob and the fish guy being NotStarfleet people, and the deadpan second officer.

The dog licking its balls, the divorce gag, and the snarky quips were cringe-inducing

>>87629050
>>87629231
This. As talented as MacFarlane is, he's not leading man material.

>your brother-in-law

So wouldn't that mean he's talking about his own brother?

>>87625122
Two helmsmen and the alien are fucking funny. I want to see more.
Discovery? no, I just want that to just dissapear. I'm tired of nu Trek crap.

>>87626284
>Space Above and Beyond being that low
Hope the one that made the image dies a horrible dead. Alone.

>>87625122

>>87629050
>>87634747
I actually thought he did okay. Like, he's not Patrick Steward or William Shatner, but he's good enough. He's at least Scott Bakula tier. Also considering the episode ends with him sort of making amends with his ex-wife it's entirely possible it might go a Riker and Troi way where they don't really touch on the relationship except in brief passing the rest of the series.

Overall I went in expecting a copy paste of the Simpsons/Family Guy/American Dad/Cleveland Show formula except in space and instead got "almost Trek" and I'm actually kind of excited for the series.

>>87635003
Wtf are you talking about? the sets are pure star trek.

Weird how Seth had produced something that works better as straightforward adventure show.

Most jokes were terrible, but actual plot and action was OK.

>>87634118
shitty shows like to point out the jokes to get a second laugh are cheap and lazy.

it's a better star trek than it should be

>>87635119
This, except the jokes were pretty good too.

Watch out for CBS talking points guys

>>87637159
The jokes made by anyone but MacFarlane were okay. He should just give up comedy.

>>87637159
CBS would go broke paying everyone who thought this show was bad.

>>87637289
Their just happy to pay those willing to shitpost here, like (you)

>>87625122
If you ignore most of the jokes that Seth puts on, it's not bad. Ok cast, and we will get some space adventures.

They need to recast the Ex-Wife. Bad bad actress based on the pilot. I can't believe I'd say this but I'd rather have Mila Kunis is the role, she at least can emote some more expressions than mild annoyance.

>>87637362
>if you ignore the core of the show, it's not entirely shit!

>>87625122
My thoughts are that it's a wonderful romp. The jokes are mostly funny and the adventure -- oh, that adventure! It's good to have a space adventure show again. Doesn't seem like any agendas are being pushed, either, which is great! Great show!

>>87637488
>no agenda
it's the wife's right to roam if not given her specific amount of needed attention

>>87637488
>there are morons who actually think like this

luckily they are mostly confined to facebook

>>87637509
Ed ditched her on the spot! Based Ed. Plus, the whole angle of her trying to achieve redemption by helping Ed's career while Ed hates her creates a funny dynamic. This show has brilliantly utilized the age-old concept of an affair to achieve comedic gold! Your obsession with cuckoldry has blinded you to the truth!

At least it something kinda new-ish being a sci-fi comedy,never liked seth so I just wish they could have cast someone else...ginger pilot guy is usually good in most things and seems like a bro.
Should have really told seth to stay off camera with this show,I just want to smash his face in and I am really passive and chilled out in life but this guy and Vics wife from the shield make me believe I could commit murder and it scares me.

>>87637488
>>87637568
A perfect example of CBS shills false-flagging right here, now that their 'cgi sucks, jokes are bad' shit has failed they move onto falseflag posts to make it seem cringy, it may be a classic but its still obvious and lame.

>>87625122
It is "ok". It's not as funny as I expected it to be, nor as good as I thought it might be. But if I have nothing else to watch and am bored, then it's the type of show I might download and binge watch. But I doubt I'll watch it weekly.

That being said, it's going to be a masterpiece in comparison to Star Trek: Discovery.

>>87625122

The best joke in the pilot was one tha 99% of the viewing audience didn't even understand I'd bet.

The very first commerical break cut is fucking awkward like a syndicated tv show that puts a commercial break in a different spot than the original run. That joke won't really play on a torrent/steam or even netflix or dvd but I thought it was fucking hysterical.

always wondered if anyone types like they do normally and what style it is called? they stick out like a cock on a nun on this site but they never seem to grasp the fact we can spot them just by that weird almost energetic typing style.

>>87637685
Its called the internpost. Interns type like they do, its why their always so easy to spot

>>87625122
It's literally TNG and the "comedy" angle is a thin justification to do literally TNG while pretending it's a parody.

It also lets the crew have some fun instead of being made of wood like in Trek so that's fine.

It's pretty good. I'm fine with having a new TNG remake.

>>87637676
HAH, I didn't even notice that on account of my not having commercials. What an awkwardly placed commercial break right. Good catch.

so that's what it is called,thanks anon I learned something but what I will never understand is why they shill here of all the places they could,it ain't like /tv/ writes reviews or has any influence unless they are hoping for a Baneposting type of meme publicity? makes no sense to me but I guess the jews know what they want and tell them to shill anyway...just total global saturation.

>>87637879
Idk either, I suspect it is due to baneposting and similar, like they think we'll either create or destroy some show and they are here to make sure it goes the 'right' way, its weird.

>>87625288
t. seth

>>87637879
/tv/ is a perfect place to shill though, there's no signing up and verifying email addresses and shit, posting involves writing it out, filling in the captcha and clicking post and without putting some effort into checking out IPs nobody is going to know/care if you samefag your show all over the board
If you're half decent at it you can even make it subtle enough that mods wont know to ban you because you just look like someone who genuinely enjoys the show, that's why I'm always suspicious of anyone who enjoys anything

Anyone else REALLLLY enjoy this show?? Like SUPER legitimately? Hahahaha! Let's discuss this show!!!! The Orville! Now airing on CBS!!

>>87638021
And i'm suspisous of anyone that automatically bashes something especially before the first ep is even out, these 'criticisms' are identical to what was being posted before the show aired and have no relevance to the actual show, you see why it seems everyone attacking this show come off as shills?

>>87638072
No STD is being aired on CBS your drunk, shill more later.

I thought this would be Family Guy meets Galaxy Quest. Turns out, it was just a boring show with very few laughs

>>87638072
i liked it. make fun of me

>>87638230
>very few laughs
>not family guy
sounds good

>>87638230
it was all of the lack of comedy from family guy with a galaxy quest lite. Not even terrible if it doesn't focus too hard on the comedy.

>>87638230
But seriously, how is CBS getting away with this?

same way any sci-fi show gets popular anon,hot sexy alien/borg/space chicks,after watching Voyager I realised I could watch any crap as long as I can have some new fap material.

>>87638364
You realise CBS are the shills desperately trying to shit on this show right?

Is it as shit as the trailer set it out to be?

>>87625122

I'm kinda curious about the dialog

was it purposely 60's era campy in the delivery ?

Seth speaks more natural and fluid in family guy

>>87638404
nigger,I just said the only thing I care about is hot aliens chicks and who follows network politics anyway? couldn't even name any apart from HBO and FX now I think about it.

>>87638421

In /v/ and /vg/ no one cares

>>87638867
No, no you don't get a girl who likes cosplay, you get a girl and then get her into cosplay, for you only most girls like dress-up if presented right

>>87626284
leave bodacious space pirates alone you monster

I can't believe I'm saying this because I cant stand Seth's stuff usually, but... this was good.

Like good on a lot of levels. The music and effects were great. The characters are really good. I like the high-grav waifu. It wasn't just constant stupid jokes like I was expecting it felt like an episode of TNG with more humor. Honestly enjoyed it way more than I was expecting to. Happily surprised.

Absolutely disgusting taste, anon. You should be ashamed.

>>87634151
How else would you like me to describe it? There were jokes that were clearly intended to be funny but ultimately failed to get any reaction from me. The joke failed, the joke wasn't funny, the jokes were underwhelming.
A common expression when describing an unfunny joke is "the joke fell flat". Its an expression that adequately describes The Orville which is why you have been hearing it alot lately. Its not part of a grand conspiracy. Can you honestly tell me that the jokes were laugh out loud hilarious?

>>87639283
Grand conspiracy detected. Seriously, give it up, CBS

>>87639283
The jokes were a minor part and largely irrelevant to the show

>>87639283
>Can you honestly tell me that the jokes were laugh out loud hilarious?
yea i could. is that okay with you, faggot? hope you reply again because no matter what you type, it wont take away the experience. if you consider me someone you dont think highly of now and or wouldnt hang with me, thats not a bad thing to me.

>>87635119
I felt the same. I wouldn't mind if they dropped some of the forced humour and just focus on fun space adventures without the cancerous sjw shit that Discovery will inevitably include. It can be lighter in tone than Star Trek and actually focus on an emerging storyline.

>>87639317
I actually liked the space adventure aspect of the show and hope they focus on that more in future episode. I just thought that the jokes weren't really hitting the mark and I even provided an exampIe of that failure. I never expected people to get so defensive over such moderate criticism and start accusing me of being part of a conspiracy to shill against it on an anime forum.

>>87639536

It's like it can't fucking decide what it wants to be. Also most of the comedy is weak and/or dick/fart jokes.

>>87639676
>It's like it can't fucking decide what it wants to be
its a lightheaded sci fi sitcom.

>>87639676
CBS, shouldn't you be improving your own programming?

>>87639676
No its like the critics can't decide, the show is clearly a tng show with mild humor

>>87625625

VOY, ENT, Andromeda, and Farscape had excellent Pilots.....and I don't just mean big purple squid dudes.

>>87637842
Well I'm the third one and not the other two so no.

Also, you came to this conclusion because they all used the word "angle"? You're a fucking moron.

>>87639824
What's with the curse words, CBSkun?

>>87639821
The first epis great sets up the premise the characters the emeny all of it, wtf is your problem with sg-1 ep 1?

>>87639676
It wants to be TNG with jokes. It's literally TNG with jokes. There's no ambiguity here.

>>87639824
So you did just finish fapping, hope it was fun and I hope you've come back with some new material, the whole jokes fall flat and muh cgi is getting pretty lame.

I'm all for calling out shills but when your aim is bad and you double down on insisting someone is samefagging it's just kinda sad and embarassing. You're referencing some conversation you're having with other people and I have no idea what you're talking about because this is a long thread and I don't give a fuck.

Your justification was literally that I was two other people because all three of us used the common and applicable word "angle". Seriously consider how fucking retarded that is and think about the mistakes you have made based on similarly specious reasoning. I bet they are numerous, because unless you're being paid to shit on this show and are preemptively calling shill so you don't get called out, it sounds like you are literally retarded.

>>87639960
Wow, this CBS guy is really, REALLY butthurt

I watched it when it was new and I was 14. Holy crap what a thing to do to a kids mind back. But mercifully all I remember now is Starbuck in a white uniform in the middle of a desert. I just wish I could find that issue of Cracked magazine from ~6 months earlier where they parodied BG and in the last two frames they find earth and it's 1979. That made G80 so much weirder.

Yea I'd say so, it was Mad of course how the fuck does the timing work otherwise? Cracked didn't even exist then
