/tog/ - The Orville General

>>87722752

I really am amazed no one ever beat the shit out of that expression he has.

>>87722752
Does anyone else hate it when the G is put in the general's name? Why is that the standard?

You ever watch a Seth MacFarlane show and think,"I wish this was LESS funny, stared MacFarlane's smug face as a straight laced unironic leading man and devoted 95% of its energy to adapting cast off Trek TNG scripts?"

>Never watched Trek in my life.
>Watch Orville, like the optimistic theme of the whole show.
>I don't have enough time to binge Start Trek =\
>It's gonna be a long road...

>>87722775
didn't know you were that close to him, anon. Lucky dude according to you.

why do you make generals when there are already threads about the show?
are you just baiting for (you)'s?

>>87722913
you're not the only lonely faggot today.

>>87722856
Star Trek is overrated, its just a campy low budget drama like Doctor Who that is sucked off by its fans simply out of a desire to belong to something that doesn't have mainstream appeal.

>>87723024
its enjoyable if one gets tired of grimdark stories

>>87723024

>low budget
TOS maybe. Starting with TNG the production values per episode were fairly high.

>>87723024
You sound like a very tedious person to be friends with.

>>87722752

im a big fan of seths adult cartoons but i quit after 20minutes of this trash. its literally just a reason for him and his old friends to do comedy in some space setting. you quickly grow tired of seeing old men with obvious surgery trying to act young on screen

in the trash it goes

Do you think Alara has a vagina?

Her pussy muscles would crush your penis if you managed to make her orgasm.

>The Orville
Is supposed to be "funny Star Trek"
It's neither funny nor Trekkie enough.
The characters are fun. I would like a serious Star Trek Tribute show made out of it.
And even if they weren't - I could look past it's visual shortcommings - IF it was actualyl funny.

Holy fuck big breasted 'alien' kino incoming we know for a fact this is gonna poke fun at tng and tos

This pilot was better than it had the right to be. Some funny moments but not rife with crude humor or cheap pop culture gags.

Seth legit wanted to make a Star Trek show because he's a huge fucking Trekkie nerd and he's done it. I sincerely hope The Orville dominates Star Trek Discovery.

He's probably the biggest active celebrity trek-geek right now.

>>87725708
Yeah.
He even went out of his way to have that old school soft closing on the show with someone walking out of the room as credits appear at the bottom.
It's unbelievable how Star Trek it can feel sometimes.

Just the fact that Orville is on an actual terrestrial TV network instead of being exclusive to some bullshit streaming service gives it the advantage.

By you reasoning data couldn't hold a glass or an egg, which he has.

Trek is super comfy and good and smart most of the time. Its characters try to be bold and ethical in their decision making, which is a good framework to build stories on.

You will like it.

>I sincerely hope The Orville dominates Star Trek Discovery

There's no way it won't. Discovery is going to be a grim dark explosion of nonsense, the same as every other fucking show. There's no reason to watch it over anything else, especially since its locked away on some streaming app.

The Orville will be Trek, more or less. People will watch it for the uniqueness alone.

>/tog/

Seriously? I hope you don't genuinely believe this is going to be a regular thing.

Orville had good ratings this sunday and also adjusted up in the final ratings.

If come sunday, it manages to hold on to a majority of the viewers then it should do fine and get a full season pick up, if it loses a lot of viewers though...

>reddit: the show

>>87725998
This.

It's like early doctor who where there isn't much grimdark crap just fun adventures and not much plot heavy moments.

Most episodes are self contained with overarching themes and big story plotlines going on alongside the monster mash

>>87726083
It has been a regular thing every day since the premier so far. Cry more, babby. Go back to the Bella Thorne thread.

>>87722752
Seems like Trek with a Dr. Who vibe plus Seth humor. decent.

>>87726138
Three days? Wow yes, this show is huge.
Do you think they will announce the cancellation before the last episode of season 1, or will they wait until after it airs out of respect for the fans?

Tell me why critics are bashing it then if it's an okay show?

>>87726604
Out of touch with the fans.

This happens all the time

Fans hate std and the new movies before they where even out yet critics predictably loved them

Predict when this show will be cancelled

>>87727232
3rd season

>>87727232
Cancelled Midway though it's first season

>FW an alien cums all over my wifes face while I watch

There is one thing they can do that wil really shoot this show to the top.

Wil. Wheaton. Appearance.

>>87726604
it's viewed as competition for STD

STD has a female poc lead and enemy Klingons based on Trump supporters, therefore must be supported and protected by ideologue critics

>>87727671

Gee whiz Mr notCBS, if only there was another show I could watch, full of younger, more attractive and diverse people, rather than all these old white men! Do you know of any such show?

>>87727671
Better idea, cast Charlie Kelly as his replacement. They look pretty damn identical, Charlie is far more entertaining, and would do a great job of mocking Wil's fake nerd guy schtick.

lets be honest cbs and fox are working together to create shitty shows so that when the new star trek series comes out next year on tv it will dominate all the competition and people will be so desperate it will probably go to 10 seasons

A.) I know some of you will never get dry humor- poor low IQ
B.) Fox marketing took all the jokes out of the 1st season to make it Family Guy in Space. Sorry that is not what they are making. They making true star trek (which always had funny parts)

>>87727232
The next Simpsons - getting better to season 6 and then running out of ideas for the next 6

>>87727671
That SJW would never set foot unless STD dies off. As they know it is shit and already doing the whole, it will be like American Horror Story. So the 1st season well quickly without farefare go away. Replace by a less over the top SJW BS and more sex. Just like adding 7 of 9 did for TSV

>>87722813
>It's gonna be a long road...

Getting from there to here.

>>87728238
go away CBS

>>87731773
how many layers of bing translator did this go through before you posted it

I'm actually rather excited for a show that has the potential to get back to old style trek. The only issue I had with the pilot was the shitty gun battle where 26 Jen Hada- I mean Trill are firing rifles and only manages to slightly singe the MC while all the feds are John Wayne crack-shots.

I think that was the joke.

Is this what plastic surgery can do?
I mean this whole face looks fake.

>>87731906
I thought they were showing that way too much. I hope they don't do that each and every time.

>>87732176
Yeah, me too.

>>87731892
once - lol - the guy pay check is acting like a nerd that did STNG in the day. To old to take his shirt off and/or run around in underwear anymore. He is smart and know the hand that feeds him.

There's a pragmatic reason for this. Every job in LA requires a god damn head shot. Applying to be a Clerk at the DMV in LA? Better make sure you attach a Head shot along with that resume.

Yeah Family Guy completely gave that away. Dude fucking loves Star Trek

>>87725708
Seriously? I just assumed this was going to be shitty humor in a Trek setting. I would have given the show a shot if he hadn't cast himself. I cannot stand his douchy face.

But... but it's actually half-way serious, and is good?

>>87727929
>They look pretty damn identical
Get help.

>>87732382
Old school like TNG, not grampa school.

I haven't seen the new star trek, but Orville is more trek than new movie trek which is sad. FUCKING ABRAMS SUCKS

Wait, how did they 'Ride the Donkey' and fly between parts of the Trill Ship? Would shields prevent such shenanigans?

There was an interview with him in around 2011 where he said he'd be more than happy to kill Family Guy and produce Star Trek if Paramount/CBS were in any way interested.
