So, since the show has been renewed for a second season, any chance of a subforum now?
News Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
You're supposed to throw an "AARGH" at the end of that.
Again... For 3 threads? A sub-forum is an organizational method, not a status symbol.
Three very long threads. Many people don't like trying to read through 145 pages of posts to find discussion pertinent to an episode they might have thoughts on.
But there is literally nothing stopping it from being more than three threads now, and yet it is still... Three threads. This one, a weekly episode thread, and the tech thread. There is every opportunity for there to be multiple threads now and yet there aren't.
Pretty much this.
I imagine that if legit threads about the show came to dominate this forum the admins would split it off without our campaigning for one. Right now we contribute regularly to a couple of general topics as well as the customary episode threads, which tend to drift down and off the page as they become dated, and asking for one isn't going to get it done.
Sub-forums are more for shows/franchises that lend themselves to multiple threads beyond just the "Episode of the Week" threads, usually due mostly to its proliferation in multiple forms of media (spin-off shows, movies, novels, comics, radio dramas, etc.). For instance, with Doctor Who, there are threads about the show (of course), the radio dramas, past Doctors, show runners, fans of the class series, fans just starting the new series, the comics, etc.
Three? There's been one for each episode and then two or three separate ones on top of that. There's been more Orville activity than Star Wars activity in the SW subforum many days.
Yes, three. The weekly episode thread (as the previous episode thread stops being active almost as soon as the new one starts and drops off the first page), this thread, and the tech thread. That is three active threads at any one time. It is not exactly threatening to swamp the sci-fi fantasy forum. I think the main sci-fi forum can somehow muddle through with the amount of active threads that The Orville generates.
I'm late to the party and only started to watch some days ago and catch up. I wanted to read the episode discussions that had slipped pages back. Finding them among all the other threads proved to be difficult so I decided to use the search.
How come that I don't get any results when I search for "The Orville" and check the boxes for "Search titles only" and "Search this forum only"? Zero. Not a single one.
It then occured to me to just search for "Orville" which gave me all the results I wanted. But not in combination with "The". I almost had given up and scrolled back page after page after page instead.

And talk of it will trickle to a halt for a while with the end of the season, until information about season two starts to be released.
Flash is a perfect example of this on Reddit. /r/FlashTV is a perfect example of this. The subreddit is all shitposts and worse when the show is not on. And there's 3 previous seasons and 3 related shows (not to mention the CW Seed stuff), not to mention comics to draw from.
I think this one line states perfectly why I'm loving The Orville and finding Discovery lacking...
This is another one...
These are simply people I like and am rooting for on a weekly basis. I used to do that with Star Trek.
This review best captures the the way I’ve viewed the show.
From that review:
Oh, boy, do I agree with that. I actually subjected myself to listening to My Heart Will Go On recently just so I could imagine Bortus singing it.
