News Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
Looks like McFarlane is finally doing his "Star Trek" show. I will definitely be watching.
The set photo looks nice and the additions of Scott Grimes and Penny Johnson, along with Adrianne Palicki, are enough to push me to give the show a chance despite my distaste for Seth McFarlane.
Sounds like all kinds of fun.
That pic alone makes me want to watch the show. The facial expressions of Seth and Adrianne are hilarious. I can tell the relationship between the captain and first officer who are also ex's is going to be great.
So, it's on FOX's fall schedule:
It's been described as a comedy-drama, though FOX's announcement simply calls it a drama (however unlikely that is):
Sounds like all kinds of fun.
Yup. I'm in.
FYI, Brannon Braga and David A. Goodman are executive producers on The Orville.
Here are some more promotional images from the show, including the logo, sets, a shuttle, shots of part of the ship, and future New York. The government is called the "Planetary Union". Brian George and Victor Garber will be appearing.
I'm getting a very Galaxy Quest vibe from this (which is a good thing), like if the show within the movie was made without the present day, real world parts. Family Guy has long since grown tired after all these years, but I'm a fan of McFarland's films and his love of science and scifi is well known, as can be seen with his excellent production of Cosmos. I'm looking forward to this.

It'd be funny if this ends up being more "Star Trek" than Discovery.
I don't see anywhere they actually describe it as a drama.
Funny enough that we've now seen more of this show THAN Discovery. Still, looks try-worthy for sure.

"It's currently 53.4 light years from Earth. The only ship in it's way its way is Enterprise"
whoops wrong series.
"They're taking the Enterprise away from you, and they're sending you back to the Academy."
"As an instructor?"
"As a student."
I know everyone hates Family Guy and Seth MacFarlane, but the guy is hilarious to me and I enjoy everything he does. From the description of the series, it kind of sounds like Star Trek meets Archer in space with all the inter-office arguing and interactions. I like the costume design. And, I know I used to make fun of Berman and Braga in my fanfic years and years ago, but I like the idea that Braga (along with David A. Goodman) are executive producers, so they can poke fun at the trappings and cliches of sci fi shows.
MacFarlane is very hit or miss these days, with an emphasis on miss, but after seeing that cast photo, I find myself much more interested in this show. At the very least, it looks like it could be a fun Star Trek pastiche.
BTW, any speculation on how the uniform colours work? At a guess, blue is obviously command, and red is security. Green, I'm guessing is science/medical, as for orange, any guesses? Engineering, probably.

I feel Galaxy Quest vibes
