News Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville

I don't think they're officially licensed by Fox, but I also found some uniform costumes. They don't even say The Orville on the page anywhere, "Unisex Warship Uniform". I'd be tempted if these were licensed, but when it comes to stuff like this I try to stick to the official stuff as much as possible.

I honestly think I'm getting too tired to care. They're on Amazon. If FOX has an issue (they have to know they exist, it is their IP), they can easily ask Amazon to take it down.

Trying to figure out what is official anymore is like playing Whack-a-Mole. FOX has the resources to handle counterfeit merchandise. If they even care.
 
Really doubting those things are "official" from anyone. Line two says "imported". That generally means it's a Chinese counterfeit. The overall description is horrible with less-than-ideal grammatical usage and line four makes reference to a "nice collection for S.T movie series". They don't even know what they're selling FFS! Wouldn't touch this thing with a ten-meter cattle prod.

"Hot US drama warship uniform cosplay". :lol: M'kay...

I'll confess, I didn't actually read a description, I just briefly skimmed it.
Another confession, I do have one Star Trek/Star Wars/Dr. Who shirt that I'm pretty sure isn't liscensed by any of them. It's a joke shirt, so I keep telling my self it should be protected as parody. It's also one of my favorite shirts and my mom got it for me, so I'm willing to let it slide a bit.
 
The material in the production uniforms comes from China. I haven't seen anything like it around here yet.
 
Who are these "overlords"? Does the collocation service the site's running on put limits on content? Curious about this.
 
IIRC Google or one of its branches who provide the ad content that keeps the site in business, some time ago they threatened to pull their ads (this ending the site) if certain things weren't removed/cleaned up and taken care of in terms of perceived sexual content. It needn't reach the level of nudity/pornography but it impacted many areas, scantly-clad actors in screencaps/pictures/avatars and the infamous "penis rock." (Which was kind of an odd thing to cut because it's only what it is based on the perceptions of the observer. The rock obviously made it past 1960s television censors who didn't want a non-married couple sharing the same bed on a family-sitcom so I'm not sure why it's inappropriate for a website in today's culture but, alas...
 
I think we all agree that Penny Jerald Johnson would be perfect as a maniacal villain (hmm...who could she playin Gotham???)

For me, this latest episode showed that even though we only had 1/2 a season they have painted a good picture of the crew. The love and support that Alara had from everyone was completely believable, as well as their assurances to her that they trust her as security chief.

Oh - and I am relieved that Nurse Park is still alive. I was worried that being just a , he could be easily killed (and in such a nonchalant way). But when our helmsman was killed, that gave me hope.

Orville definitely feels like classic Trek (TOS and TNG)- specifically because I still treat it like Galaxy Quest -- so I don't take things like continuity too seriously, and just have fun with it.

I like this crew in 2 months more than 10 year s of Voyager's & ENtrpise's combined
