>>87661836

Black Navigator Man had literally zero charisma, every time he was in a scene I was distracted by just how awkwardly bland he was. He wasn't even a fun monotone like Tony Shalhoub in Galaxy Quest.

Now that is just pathetic. He should cut his balls off already.

His lines weren't that bad but they were pretty generic black man, but in space. If he wasn't so depressingly personalityless it wouldn't be so awful.

>>87662081
I love it. Really captures that 70s/80s cheese interior decorating vibe.

This show will be cancelled by its third episode. Serves Fox right for reading Seth's proposal for a Star Trek spoof comedy, and not instantly tossing it into the trash.

I watched the STD trailer and the meet-the-characters promo vid clip and it seems that they're targetting the Gilmore Girls and Supergirl fangirls.

The trailer was all about feelings and there's that broody teengirl song in the background.

In the promo vid clip, instead of talking about Star Trek or about exploring, the actors/actresses were focusing on their characters' emotions, feelings and relationships.

It's definitely another one of those shows like Smallville and Supergirl that pretends to be Sci-Fi but is actually a Chick-Show.

I thought it was comfy too. The comedy was more slapstick than hard hitting, so it went with the TNG-style universe.

It really wasn't that bad if you're a Trek fan.

I liked how the Krill destroyer fired missiles after it depleted Orville's shields with energy weapons, as well as the seat-belt scene.

>>87661478

Also, it was fantastic. Go fuck yourself.

>>87663554

Don't remind me of The Flash. It's filled with girl logic like that i-know-i-proposedmarriage-but-i-realized-that-i-can't-save-you-if-we're-together speech that's typical of girl logic in chick shows just so they can have angsty we-love-each-other-but-we-can't-be-together scenes in succeeding episodes.

>>87665858

I don't like it to happen, too, but girls is their preferred target audience and we can't do anything about that. I just hope they don't also transition the movies into chick flicks.

Okay, so I hated Ted, hated Family Guy from season 4 on, never bothered with Ted 2, that stupid western, or Food Orgy, and dislike Seth MacFarlane in general.

Is there any chance at all that I'll like the Orville?

>>87665996
>>87663554

It's too early to compare it to the original Star Trek. We don't know yet if exploration and adventure will comprise most of the episodes.

I watch it mainly because it's an enjoyable comedy.

>>87665996
>If you like trek

That's really what it comes down to. Especially if you like "old Trek" and not the super normie friendly new stuff.

It's pretty much TNG with some humor (so far, but I doubt it's going to deviate much from this formula).

>>87666085
No that's called an affair and it's an ancient trope, even Aristotle wrote about. Please endeavor to have a romantic relationship one day. Have sex, CBS. Then talk.

>>87666201
Yes, actually. You'll hate a couple seconds of the total because they do attempt a couple Seth jokes but it is minimal.

>>87666201
>Is there any chance at all that I'll like the Orville?

If you like Trek (TOS and TNG), then sure.

If not, probably not.

>>87666201
It was a TNG episode with some humor that was fairly hit and miss, and trying to have a more "realistic" cast that has problems.

>>87666248
>they do attempt a couple Seth jokes but it is minimal

not really. every joke is a seth joke and every scene is a seth scene.

if you don't like him i recommend you stay away/

>>87666248
>>87666256
>>87666279

I do like Trek, which is my reason for asking considering what a trainwreck Discovery's becoming. Really nice to know that Seth's treating the concept with a bit more maturity and respect than I would've expected. It sounds like a comfy time.

>>87666303
Thats just blatant lies though. He was probably forced to take a step back from being the center of every single scene. There are also not-Seth-styled jokes that are good.

>>87666323

Seth seems to know Trek pretty well, at least going by the 1st episode.

It's comfy, like Galaxy Quest is.

Worth a watch if you're a Trek fan.

It was like he set out to do a homage to TNG. The jokes could ruin it for you, it is more crass and juvenile of course. I liked it and will keep watching, but it just makes you nostalgic for TNG. It seems a bit rougher, but good hearted.

>>87666494
Sure, but I've seen every episode of Red Dwarf, and honestly it didn't have that Star Trek feel. Not putting Dwarf down, but there's an undeniable atmosphere that Trek gives off, and Dwarf was doing its own thing.

I really enjoyed it. Ship design was great. Music and effects and characters were all really good. It made me feel that old trek feel I have not felt in a long time.

Honestly it would be an even better show without the jokes, just imo. The jokes are fine, I just never realized until I watched this how much I wanted a star trek that was not anti-white anti-male anti-heterosexuality, SJW-propaganda, etc. I mean two of the three main women are attractive straight white women. The captain and his best friend are straight white males who want to have sex with beautiful women. I aint gonna get that on discovery thats for fucking sure. It just felt good to see a kirk going on adventures.

In a way by some weird fluke they ended up making an anti-discovery while discovery is airing. It's amazing the contrast of the two. Discovery is deeply seeped in hated of whites, hatred of heterosexuality, and hatred of cis straight males, especially white cis straight males, paired with humorless SJW diversity lectures.

I'm glad we have an alternative. That's all I'll say.

What the fuck did you expect? That shit was unacceptable for Inhumans, sure, considering its fucking IMAX marketing. Orville doesn't give a shit about that. It would've missed the point.

It's fine. Probably one of the better pilot episodes for a space drama i've seen. Only character I don't like is the doctor. Would have been better as a grouchy old black guy.

>>87667326
from at least the 1300s it has always and will always mean cheating, specifically the husband of an adulterous wife is a cuckold. Knowing about it having kids etc none of that matters.

>>87667442

No I liked it too, seems to just be a shill campaign against it right now. Had a TNG feel that trek lost ages ago and probably will never get back.

It aired just now for me.
It was alright.

it's surface-level sci-fi and weak comedy

though comedy for comedy's sake generally doesn't do too well anyways. og star trek shows had comedy through character development, not simply "silly thing is happening right now haha #relatable". The only set-up joke was the black guy drinking soda, and it wasn't very funny. Jokes are "setup, premise, punchline", and it's the only "joke" that had that format.

also, they're using a lot of CG filler to pad out the episode for its lackluster writing. I want to see characters interacting, not 2008-tier TV CG every other scene.

I know the development I want will take several episodes, but the development I even /expected/ was lackluster. I'm not hanging onto the idea that the show sucks just because this episode was boring, but I'm pointing out my first impression of the show being that the characters have done nothing but quip us every few minutes.

the jokes need better writing/setup

Fuck you, I liked it.

I liked it too. It was mildly humorous with dumb throwaway lines peppered throughout the whole thing. I chortled and tittered several times during it. The sets looked good too.

>>87664074
This is literally the worst ranking image I have ever seen and your opinions are objectively shit.

>>87669696
if i want to be honest, im actually just real fucking happy that a sci fi show is out where the crew dont automatically hate eachother. the conflict storyline with the captain/2nd in command is apparent, but everyone else get along and i fucking love that. it makes so much sense, who the fuck would get a crew together that cant stand eachother? not much makes me laugh in the first place so jokes needing to be better wont really matter, but i love everything else going for the show. i actually like seth now, but i hated him for long because of the cartoons. i became a little bit more of a fan watching that wild west movie, but knowing he went out of his way to make this orville show really makes me like him. i would want to do the same.

>>87664718
That's not cool bro

>>87669843
>i actually like seth now
why?

honestly, I'll admit that his live-action work has been bearable (I liked ted, haven't seen 2 but wanted to). But to say you hated him and now like him because of this one episode of a scifi comedy show that wasn't even that good suddenly has you liking him now is fairly naive.
I'm looking forward to the next episode and hope it meets/exceeds my expectations.

The first episode was good.

Stop your rage about MacFarlane for a second a think. Think back to the first episodes of TOS. Of TNG. DS9? How about VOY? Try ENT. Now think back to The Orville's first episode. Doesn't seem that bad now, does it? In fact, it was pretty damn good.

sets were good, effects were mostly good however some of the dialogue was bad or went on for too long. it's a big fat "alright" so far, i think it could definitely improve but the groundwork is solid

>>87670149
It just felt formulaic. I didn't like the contrived action/battle scenes and the comedy wasn't that funny.

I like american dad and this was tame (which I liked) comparatively, but it didn't show me an iota of anything new other than the loopy space ship and newly-molded latex that they decided to slap onto background characters.

t. someone who tolerates McFarlane and loves star trek

>>87670266
Definitely not aiming for new. I generally do not tolerate MacFarlane myself but I gave it a chance and he didn't ruin it.

Fuck, why is the Second-in-Command so good?

Are people really pretending this is good just because /tv/ is trying to look for any reason to shit all over Discovery?

>>87670355

I'm not talking about the series, only the pilot. Only the first episode of VOY was better.

This feels like it could possibly be a new Brooklyn 99. Not as overtly comedic, but a story that is interesting so I'll watch every new episode, but will not care at all when it is eventually cancelled.

I'd bump Voyager up, but otherwise I really like this list. Good job OP!

All the excessive slow paced formal bs killed it.

Honestly feels like he wanted to try and make a low budget version of trek but was forced to sabotage it with shit jokes.

Was expecting more crude and lewd garbage but I'm sure he'll add it later and make it completely unwatchable.

>>87672564
Excellent CBSpost, CBS

You guys are gonna feel pretty silly if DSC turns out to be good

People made that mistake for Orville, which turned out to be good.

>>87672774
>which turned out to be good.

Let's not go that far. It's only turned out not to be complete shit like we expected. More than likely it'll be at least two more episodes before we find out if it's good.

>>87672896
Shut the fuck up, CBS.

But it's got better production values than Star Trek?

>>87672896
Maybe, I haven't seen it yet. Just that the reaction to the show seems vastly more positive compared to during the lead up to it. Even on /tv/ it seems to have outdone expectations.

They explain it at the end. Main guy was so fucked up by her cheating on him, it nearly destroyed his career. So she organized this last ditch opportunity for him as a way of trying to make amends.

Female characters with a sense of shame/accountability, and able to admit fault, make for good stories. Hollywood needs to re-learn that flawed characters are interesting characters, as long as they still retain a classical moral compass.

No idea why they keep making new ST shows as grimdark struggle shit. The entire point of TOS/TNG was that the SJWs had won: the Federation was diverse, likeable, and balanced. But the more recent shows have ignored and dismissed that to drag their characters through grittier storylines that are more suited to reflect present day events. The showrunners really have no clue.

Really liked that their future space dock is a giant fidget spinner.

>>87673750
Star Trek ALWAYS reflected current day events, they were just made in a different time. Duh.

Also they paid attention to the fact 1) people hated the actual utopia conflicts a thing of the past Trek that was early TNG and 2) really liked DS9 which nobody liked until it started beating the war drums

>>87673995
The trailer contained literally every joke from the first episode, then there's 40 minutes of other, good stuff as well. They advertised it as family guy IN SPAAAACE, but it's really not.

The only bad character is the black nav officer who I expect to die fairly early into the series because he's so useless and Seth will want to kill a character like TNG did.

I literally saw some Gawker article that was

"Seth MacFarlane says The Orville isn't a sci-fi spoof. HERE'S 5 SCI-FI SPOOFS THAT SPOOFED SCI-FI WAY BETTER THAN THE ORVILLE"

I blame Fox for selling the show like it was a Trek parody, and not an unofficial TNG spinoff, which is what it basically is.

I liked it a lot. It wasn't really great, but it's the first thing that's felt like TNG to me, since TNG went off the air. 3rd episode sounds like it truly sucks, though

I just hope MacFarlane has enough sway over at Fox to avoid getting this canceled after one season.

>>87672114

Nothing wrong with the first season of TNG, that's a stupid meme. Encounter at Farpoint is great.

>>87677915
I get where you're coming from but the first season or so is hella wonky. They really didn't have a lot of what (eventually) makes the show great in place, and just didn't have a handle on a bunch of the characters.

Things ended up changing for a reason.
