Wonder why they are burning through airing all the first season episodes by the end of this year?

There's only 13. Might as well air them together rather than try to extend them until the spring.

I'm happy about that because if Fox thinks Orville is good enough to continue it may green light other space operas too.

As for Orville continuing, I guess that's a good thing too. Better show than what it'd probably be replaced with.

Don't hold your breath on that.

 

[BillJ]

Very good news. The show has really hooked me in a way I wasn't expecting.

 

[RJDiogenes]

TrekToday is correct. I am pleased.

Probably not Fox, but other venues might. And maybe this will start a trend of stories with meaning and spaceships with ceiling lights.

Discovery, Orville, The Expanse, Killjoys! Rejoice! I just wish Dark Matter hadn’t been cancelled.

 

[Big Data]

Great news. Should I be watching The Expanse and Killjoys? Never heard of them.

 

[Mudd]

Fuck, yeah!

Firefly: The Next Generation?

 

[Tesophius]

wooooooo, amazing news

The Expanse is okay, but I don't particularly care for Killjoys.

 

[Charles Phipps]

The Expanse is great.

Killjoys had a really good first season then got...weird.

Basically, going from a gritty story about mercenaries in a crap universe to alien goo monsters.

I am a fan of Orville. It makes long for a post Nemesis Prime television series too.

This is OUTSTANDING news! This is a scifi show , that is a must watch for me that hasn't been since on TV , since Star Trek Voyager ended. Ha, and people say that "traditional" Star Trek is dead. A post Nemesis show could work with the right people behind it.

I love the Orville's characters and universe, though at times the comedy in the the first three episodes was slightly off putting. while still enjoyable. Now with in the last 3 episodes the writers found a better balance. I really like the Krill. I can' wait for season 2!

Exactly! Great news.

The Expanse fills the Battlestar Galactica void. Killjoys is more... I dunno, Firefly?

 

[Cyrus]

I gave up on The Expanse and Killjoys after one season each, but enjoying The Orville a lot. Glad it got renewed. Dark Matter was OK but got canceled. But with Orville and Discovery I am getting my needed dosage of space shows. Good times.

 

[RJDiogenes]

I gave up on The Expanse after about two episodes-- it was so boring that I couldn't remember the beginning of an episode by the end. And I've tried Killjoys a couple of times, because a friend of mine likes it and because I like that guy who used to be in Warehouse 13, but it's got an adolescent vibe that I just can't take. And both shows are visually bland. The best of the current Space Operas was Dark Matter, and the idiots cancelled that one.
