THE ORVILLE - S1, E4: "IF THE STARS SHOULD APPEAR"...
- Thread starter Farscape One

Nah, why? I figured it works like a really powerful magnet. And probably also cleans particulate matter out of the wound too.
Also; How wild was it that someone got SHOT! That's a first for any Star Trek show I've watched. None of that "oh he's laying down because of phaser wound" Nope, we saw blood and everything!
I was thinking along the same lines. I just watched episode 2, and the Kermit scene really cracked me up. As well as the ending.
Liked this 4th episode, especially Ed/Kelly's exchanges/chemistry. They share the same humor and the most important, in a relationship, no matter it is on a romantic (I guess they were probably best friends before they dated -> even if their mariage turned sweet and sour, I bet they will end together at the end!) or professional level, they understand each other/ show mutual respect*).
Hey, what do you want, I'm an eternal romantic but I don't like forced relationships like Troi/Riker, Seven/Chakotay, Dax/Wolf...
(* I read that McFarlane & Palicki were friend in life and this can be seen!)
Liam Neeson in this episode, Charlize Theron in the next... not bad at all but I fear that the adventure stops too quickly if the ratings keep falling (cf https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/the-orville-season-one-ratings/ --> for 09/28/2017 : 3.730 mil for a demo of 1.10)... unless Fox decides to continue the adventure through a s2 (fingers crossed!
It's actually still getting really good ratings in Live+3 and Live+7, which seems to indicate that viewers haven't lost interest, they just don't like the Thursday slot.
Episode 2 for example went from an 18-49 of 2.2 to 2.6 in live+3. In Live+7 it ended with 3.1, up more than 40% and tied with America Got Talent.
If you look at well it's doing (esp with younger viewers) in Live+7, odds of a Season 2 looks pretty good right now.

No, on the "The Big Goodbye", the sociologist they take on the Holodeck gets shot.
I doubt very much we'll get that far in Season 1, most shows these days do 13-23 episodes per season.
It kind of seems so (though, the TOS Enterprise could only fire forward as well.) It'd also seem it has to come out of "warp" in order to change course. (In the second episode when Alara decides to go rescue Ed and Kelly instead of go back to Earth the ship drops out of the quantum drive, changes course, and then re-enters quantum/subspace/whatever.)
I think he more means that we saw someone actually get injured, need a wound treated and, further, saw the blood from it and it happened to a main characters. The sociologist guy was the proverbial "red shirt" in the episode (to show the audience, and the characters, the holodeck's safeties weren't working) and we only saw a bit of blood before he conks out and his condition grows more critical as the episode wears on.
In this case a main character was shot and actually taken out of action and needed an emergency field surgery procedure done and there was a good bit of blood (for a Network TV series with this rating) usually when a main character is shot they shake it off with a, "I'm okay, just my pride is wounded" or something like that.
(Unless of course the injury is key to the plot of the episode then it's more serious.)

While there wasn't emergency field surgery, Spock was shot and injured, complete with green blood in "A Private Little War".
I think the show is getting 13 episodes this season.
I want to know more about that ship and civilization. There was the whole "down" area right? undercity or whatever? And the land mass was the size of NYC, and there were millions of life signs? We really didn't get a good idea of what their society is like outside of the mob and the farm.

That's fairly standard fare for a new series to have at least 13 episodes written and at out of production (ready to be edited and aired) should the series do well. If it continues to do well the network will order "The Back 9" to fill the rest of the season out to a full 22 episodes and may order more.
So, right now, there's 13 episodes likely completed and ready to be aired, we should hear before too long if Fox orders the Back 9 so that those episodes can be written and produced during the Winter Hiatus.
Yep. And the ship-vs-ship fights resemble the classical WWI dogfight.
Right. I forgot it.
It actually makes a whole lot of sense to need to drop out of warp, recalibrate, re-set stuff, and re enter....
Nah. I think this season will be just the 13. It may be too late to do the back nine because of production (shooting, fx, writing (unless Seth already wrote the back 9), etc...) and cost. Hopefully they get a full season pickup so they can do it right and not be under the gun to get done.
Yep, see it all the time. And in my work, not only do we work a 24-hour clock but also use Zulu time (Greenwich Mean Time). I see people screw up that math every day.
The bullets tore through her uniform's fabric, so there's no reason why they can't be pulled out through the holes they created. Besides, it's no weirder than how often on Star Trek we see hyposprays injected through clothes. Seriously, that happens a lot.
It really depends on if the original order had an option for more episodes this season.
You and me both brother. This was another great episode, maybe the best one so far.
The first thing I thought was "Mr. Isaac, could this be a Dyson dodecahedron?"
Adrianne Palicki does tough really, really well. I can see why they wanted her for Wonder Woman.
