What the fuck? When did The Orville get a comic? Why? Is it any good?
The Orville
>my wife alara is in it
Picked the fuck up.
The Orville is a severely underrated show. Fox really misrepresented it in the promos by advertising it as a comedy, but it's more in tone with the 90s Star Trek shows. It's what Discovery should have been.
I bet it's at least decent.
Its the best Trek thing since the 1st JJ movie.
I still say that Beyond is the best but I get it
Honestly if the Orville and STD combined into one show it’d be perfect
>The Orville is a severely underrated show
Ok. But is it a good show?
Yes. It's the new Star Trek.
Beyond is by far the best. The first one and Into Darkness were shit.
>Fox really misrepresented it in the promos by advertising it as a comedy
They couldn't market it as anything else.
Seth is known for his comedies.
There were shows before on Fox that had comedy but also drama and the comedy always used in promotions because it gets people's attention more.
A lot of people might have dismissed the show based on the Seth Macfarlane association, true, but most people who gave it a chance enjoyed the range the show has.
It's alright, honestly not as good as the show though. It just doesn't have as good of the eye winks to Star Trek as the show does.
To be fair, those first few episodes tried to shoehorn in some truly awful comedy bits.
Was Orville a better Star Trek than STD?
Damn well nearly everything is a better Star Trek than STD.
Orville IS good Star Trek, though.
I hate Into Darkness with a passion and have no idea why that’s the one that the studios seem to dictate their tones from for the shows. But the first movie was fine, sure I was shit as a Star Trek movie but it’s pretty much the best Star Wars released this century
>Orville IS good Star Trek, though.
Anything can be good when you set your standards that fucking low.
The later episodes try to do social commentary but the writers are so inept they can't make compelling or interesting takes on any of it. It's like watching nothing but the bottom of the barrel TNG episodes.
No, you fucking dumbdumb. Do you see how I separated "STD bad" and "Orville good" into separate sentences? Separate LINES, even? That's because the ideas are separate.
and yet they've managed to do gender social commentary far better than Star Trek ever did.
Where would Picard go on that tier list?
That’s the ironic thing, isn’t it.
Nu Star Trek was actually a half decent Star Wars movie and then when JJ actually directs Star Wars then it’s either following an existing story or fucking shit up on its own
Granted. It is Seth Macfarlane in the writing room. Most of his shows never really grow until he takes his hands off and other people take the reigns.
Plus they were still feeling out the tones.
imo they handle social commentary better than most show on TV. They never beat you over the head or force their main characters to be in the right at all times. I liked that there are episodes where they're Earth morals clash with alien morals/cultures and they had to eat shit a few times and come to term that they can't force their beliefs on other cultures even if they feel like they are in the right or protecting others.
The Bortus storyline is a good example of that.
The outcome of his daughter being forced to change genders when the Orville crew's attempt to sway Moclan judges end with them losing. That lose and outcome had a lasting effect on Bortus in multiple episodes later.
It's more than just one episode of "This bad, this good" then move on to the next episode of soapbox writing.
Low tier.
Picard feels like a bunch of writers skimmed through the Star Trek wiki for TNG and just wrote whatever.
It's a TNG sequel for people who vaguely remember TNG but love the Nu Star Trek movies and Discovery.
fuck you The orville used adult themes in the right way and that big nigga is my favourite in the show.
I miss the orville, I should rewatch. Third season when?
It's alright.
>Third season when?
It was going to be this fall, but production is on hold now because corona. So it might get pushed back to early next year.
sadness
how many pandemic episodes next season? I think a 2 parter and a single episode, so 3 in total
