I like that the character building arc of the Orville in the first season. Well done.
i8paste
I loved Galaxy Quest and pretty much all of the Star Trek shows. I tried, but I could not get myself to enjoy The Orville.
Speirs101st
Brannon Braga also writes for his show, he was a Star Trek writer as well.
MasterBaitin
He's being black mirrored
gunnsgalore
Do you mean starting trek the next generation?
iamamitten
And it still can't distract from how SHITTY all of his cartoon shows are
pierrelaplace
Orville should have been crap. It is just the opposite. Ready for season 2.
SquawkBoxIT
Started watching tonight. Happy with imgurs recommendation
sushidave
Beats the crap out of that stupid CBS streaming series. He out trekked trek
Mitchz95
I was kinda lukewarm about Discovery at first but it did get better. Looking forward to it coming back on Sunday.
manslut
I love The Orville but I also like Star Trek: Discovery. Very different but both very good.
AddictiveTendancies
Haha yes! Didn't he have some crappy line and then get scolded by Trip!?
SmolPinkDragon
yep :D

Is this show part of the Star Trek Universe?
SmolPinkDragon
The Orville is actually not part of the Trek universe. Its merely a comedy of all the best parts of what Star Trek is. Its quite good.
SandwichRGood
no, but heavily inspired and in about the same time.
Maybeinanotherdimension
I'm watching Orville and will continue to, but I find his acting flat. He really doesn't have a much dimension as an actor.
Tornadotaco
He insists upon himself
Maybeinanotherdimension
Plus I keep hearing Brian.
SqueakShow
I like his deadpan delivery of funnies, but he's not great at emotion. Probably because he's not actually an actor by trade? Not sure.
Maybeinanotherdimension
Maybe one if the reptilians lol. Any voice over work I've watched produced, I still see the voice actor acting happy, sad, scared, w.e. so
Maybeinanotherdimension
He does have acting experience, he just seems so awkward. Like you said, expression emotions. Same in a million ways to die in the West
shinagami091
Wait. He was actually IN Star Trek?
SmolPinkDragon
yes. two episodes in star trek enterprise as far as I know :)
a picture of what he looked like in epi 2
Brobuscus115
He was a little chubberino back then lol
TemetNosce000
Reminds me of a plot to a Black Mirror episode
JPRiddles
Which one?
Hokon
S4 E1 im guessing
RockmanModelZ
Yes

Oh wait you just meant generally, didn't you...

Just saw Tom Morello in Voyager. I don't really know who he is.

Amazing guitarist! Rage Against the Machine! Audioslave! Etc. ...
PrivateIsotope
Oh, that's the one...knew it was a band....
SpaceballsTheComment
I hate Seth McFarlane, and I don't know why, and that's why I hate him!
FilthyRaider
The Orville is like the middle ground between Star Trek and Galaxy Quest. Watched the first four and loved it.
Demaio
It gets better. And then worse. And then better again!
smarterthansnakemittens
Which episode did you think was bad? Just curious. I've enjoyed all of them so far.
foxmichaels
IMHO, the first three or four are the worst. After that, it picks up. (Worst as in iffy acting, forced jokes..)
TypicallyKyle
Seemed like any other show, really. Starts bad, gets better as people watch it more.
foxmichaels
Yup. I'm glad I kept up with it.
Bart1952
As a writer and voice guy he's OK. Just can't stand watching him Act. Watched "The Orville" once, that was enough.
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
pretty sure this is the only thing he actually ever wanted to do. he totally checked out on family guy. that show is a mess now.
Xedi22
I recollect him saying it should have ended a long time ago...
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
yea, he has. i wonder if he’s trying to kill it. because i love the show but it’s been almost unbearably cringy and just... obscure.
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
and with adam west and carrie fisher gone... it’s even more painful to watch.
SometimesIUseAllOfMyCharactersAtOnceAndDontCareAboutTheConsequ
Black mirror?
D3adT0m
Makes sense, he was a part of the lowest point in the franchise's history, of course he'd want to make up for it.
Adventuresinonlinedating
You haven't seen either Voyager or Discovery? Lucky!
IvnWng
Can’t argue with you about Discovery but ain’t no way Voyager is worst than Enterprise!
Adventuresinonlinedating
It has better sets than Enterprise, but Janeway was a horrifically bad Captain.
mormacil
I disagree. Voyager has some terrible writing. I admit Enterprise had a bad start but Voyager got worse.

manicmalki
Why can't star trek remember that what we loved about star trek.
PardusXY
Because right now it's about hating on groups of people, and TNG tried to fairly represent people.
jonnnney
They make more money making startrek for dumb people
Strikyre
It's weirdly more Trek than the currently airing Trek. Social commentary and ending on sometimes difficult questions about morality.
Strikyre
Rather than... JJ make go boom. Boom!
TinySnek
zoinks, wrong turn link

TheAdventuresofStealy
Orville reminds me more of Stargate: Atlantis because of the tone. The social media episode would even have totally fit as an episode of SG1
TheMightyElk
Agree 100%
hotdudecurator
Well I agree 200%
TheMightyElk
I must agree with your 200% by 300%
MoogieMomm
Anything Star Trek is awesome.
SouperScott
Do you REALLY want me to go out there and find all the shit?
miados
not a fan of the new std they put out though.
Dighrair
Except for the new one, STD.
MDtheGM
Ah yes, the mature trekkers response "LOL, STD!" I don't need 90s Trek, I had 90s Trek, that should not that be what they deliver.
SilverHarvest
A lot of actors got their start as stand ins. Like one of jack blacks first speaking lines was the pilot in Waterworld.
MothMonsterMan
Colbert and Steve carell both were minor actors on the daily show.
SurrealGorilla
Jack Black was a child actor. Played the main bully in Never Ending Story 3.
HowsItGoinEh
He was on an xfiles episode aswell
alteraphim
And so was Giovanni Ribli
alteraphim
*2 episodes
HowsItGoinEh
I remeber the arcade episode, what was the second?
WhiteKenny
you're joking, right?
Drakhma
he was a the seaplane pilot https://imgur.com/YukEAIX
SilverHarvest
Nope. It was one of his first speaking and credited parts.

Wuz314159
He was in 2 episodes of series 3. . . . Some of the worst episodes of Trek ever made. (* Until Discovery)
Flyndaran
So no one's ever told you about Voyager, I see. Don't look for it. Some scripts are so bad that I seriously think writers were trolling us.
Wuz314159
Series 3 Enterprise = All of Voyager in quality.
PrivateIsotope
Season 3, you mean?
dannycakes
Not a fan of discovery? I haven't seen it yet.
PrivateIsotope
I like it. It's definitely not like other treks, but that's not to say it isn't trek.
Wuz314159
Those very words kind of say it's not Trek.
PrivateIsotope
Not really. What it is is basically TNGs "The Pegasus" stretched out for a whole season.
MDtheGM
If you want your TNG Nostalgia boner stroked then Orville is great. If you want something new and pretty good, look toward Discovery.
BigChunkyBubbles
I dropped Discovery a while ago. It was ok, but it didn't thrill me. I got maybe 5 episodes into it. It's not bad. It's just not great.
MDtheGM
It's a show that defines slow burn... I think I may have gotten past any rough parts because my local trekkie group hosts viewing parties.
MDtheGM
Generally the group loves the show so maybe that keeps us up for the rougher parts (episode 8 was terrible until you watch episode 9)
