THE ORVILLE Season Two...

[Mudd]

Resets don't bother me in a show which tells self- contained stories. That sort of thing would bother me on Westworld.

Stand-alones require storytelling focus and a particular discipline that soap operas don't.

Yep.

Many people seem to forget that "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the third aired episode of Star Trek. "The Corbomite Maneuver" was the first shot and tenth or eleventh aired. Didn't seem to hurt it in the long run.

Well, given the way the business worked at the time, self-contained stories probably made it possible for Trek to become successful.

As someone once said, "Every episode is somebody's first episode."

11 more days! Get your sodas ready you jars of pickles!

 

[fireproof78]

If they can rearrange episodes at will, it means the return of the 42-minute reset too!

11 more days! Get your sodas ready you jars of pickles!

Every single time, that reminds me of the Leah Rewolinski Star Wreck books. Lt. Dacron liked keeping a can of soda in his chair and watching TV while at his station. I have to wonder if Seth read those books.

As long as the episode order change doesn't screw up any arcs, it shouldn't be an issue.

 

[The Wormhole]

According to the comments in the linked Tweet, this "change" is in fact just reverting to the original intended order anyway.

 

[CaptainMurdock]

Is the order prime?

 

[The Wormhole]

Nah, it's Kelvin.

 

[CaptainMurdock]

Nah, it's Kelvin.

Darn, I thought it was Disco.

 

[The Wormhole]

But Disco is Prime, because visuals apparently aren't canon. Or something.

That must be why I see a different person when I look in the mirror.

 

[matthunter]

They were, but it appears they broke up some months ago.

Halston seems to date a new guy now, and perhaps

Spoiler

also making an exit from 'The Orville' as well,

Man, I just love Pharell, don't you? And the way Charlie just casually flings a protective arm around Halston is total freaking goals. In fact, the only thing that would make this clip better would be if Bella Thorne showed up to attempt the same party trick herself, and then somehow messed the whole thing up.

Elite Daily needs to hire writers who are older than 12. In fact, I've encountered STIs that could write more coherently than this shit.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Nah, it's Kelvin.

Farenheit!

Or are the visuals in tos not canon?

I don't think the original Star Trek is canon at all. I've said all along I believe the overall plan is for them to eventually do their own version of TOS.

That makes sad thinking about it.

 

[BillJ]

That makes sad thinking about it.

Yep. But the best way to do it is to soften up the fanbase first with a "Prime" prequel, then slowly overwrite the elements of what came before, like they have with the visual designs.

I have my TOS Blu-rays, my books and my comics. They can do what they want with the franchise.
