News Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville

[Lowdarzz]

I see pure TNG in those sets and uniforms. I'm not a fan of McFarlane's work, in fact I didn't laugh once at the trailer, but am willing to give this a shot.

This movie looks painfully terrible. Just ugh. Seems to want too hard to "have it both ways" between a comedy/satire and a serious sci-fi drama. I suspect it'd make it two episodes before it gets into the juvenile Family Guy/Ted style low-brow humor.

Absolutely nothing about this series looks interesting to me.

 

[Amaris]

I've rewatched the trailer, and apparently I've warmed up to it, and noticed a few more details this time around. I noticed the marble scene this time around, and that got a good chuckle, and that as someone mentioned above, Norm MacDonald is the voice of the ooze crew member, which is awesome. I am definitely looking forward to this.

And purple?

You mean the one the ADMIRAL is wearing?

This mystery may never be solved.

et. al.

One thing you can always count on from Trek fans: Give them what they ask for, and it's never what they wanted.

 

[Trekker4747]

When did I ever ask for this?

 

[fireproof78]

But what about pointed sticks?

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of this.

 

[dahj]

And purple?

That's for the Drazi... well, half of them.

The League of Non-Aligned Worlds is very disappointed.

 

[Tenacity]

Big question about this show is. did Captain Mercer kill Tuvix?

Big question about this show is. did Captain Mercer kill Tuvix?

To protect the secret of wormhole technology hidden in his brains?

We know Macfarlane likes to sing so I can't wait for the musical episode.

I was checking out the reception on reddit and it seems o be very well received. I'm more optimistic of it's chances now. After watching the trailer for the 3rd time I've decided I love it.

 

[DEWLine]

Since this keeps Palicki from returning to Agents of SHIELD...no.

 

[ancient]

Seth is certainly hit-or-miss, but I'll give any of his stuff a chance.

*resists urge to start a 200-page argument over the uniforms in a Seth MacFarlane SciFi show...

...

The different colors have their own insignia....


Oh, and

Purple = flag officer

 

[The Wormhole]

Ok here's my guess: (This is serious business)

Blue = Officer

Green = Science or Medical

Orange = Engineer

Red = Redshirt :^)

After seeing the trailer, I now think orange might actually be flight personnel, at least the two wearing orange are at the stations which on Star Trek would be helm and navigation.

 

[Draculasaurus]

I'm not completely bowled over by the comedy in the trailer, but it seems fun.
Hopefully there's a lot more character based humor that was judged to be not a good fit for a peppy trailer.

 

[tomalak301]

That trailer looked fun. Really do like the brightness of colors and I can see the TNG appeal. Might be worth checking out.

 

[Trekfan12]

I checked out the trailer and I think it's worth a try.
