I think they made Commander Grayson's uniform tighter!! Not a bad thing.
Alara is cute. Too bad she's gone. I wish they would have sent her off in the firefight instead of quitting the fleet. |

I thought it was a decent episode.
A little preachy, but in a generic sort of way. |

So, is this gonna be an "Enemy Mine" deal? View Quote There was a solid exchange where Ed explains that most space fairing societies adjust to discovering they're not alone, and a few freak out and go xenophobic and aggressive, however it's something they could set aside if they try. She replies that a people can't have morals without faith and that humans are merely animals with thumbs by our own admission. But by the end it's clear that some gears are turning in her head, although she's still a true believer and definitely not about to lead a peace march. Good acting on both sides of that one, chick playing the Krill was very good and McFarlane did some manly captain stuff without looking like an idiot. Excellent use of Billy Joel at the end. New hostile aliens tough enough to duke it out with the Krill, interesting possibilities there. In other news, Adrianne Palicki just got engaged to Scott Grimes (Lt. Malloy)... wait, what!?
Guess he wore enough zippers. |

So, when that relationship goes into the shitter which one of them will leave the show?
|

There is no such thing as a good use of Billy Joel's music. What a load of dreck.
This episode was watchable and entertaining and I'll say I liked it but I still say that the biggest problem with The Orville is Seth McFarlane. Eliminate him and his overbearing emo touch from the show and it can be much better. If you were to redo any episode of The Orville as an episode of Family Guy, it'd work. And that's a problem! |

Meh. I couldnt get into it. Boring as fuck. Jokes were sparse.

Halston Sage was on Magnum P.I. last night.
(Yeah, I watch it. Don't judge me! ) |
|
Bortus is on tonight's episode of SEAL Team.
I wasn't looking at the TV and then he started talking talking... |
|
Watching tonight's episode right now. Just started it and noticed Tom Paris is directing it.

Pretty good, essentially a TOS episode, not TNG, since they didn't give a fuck what would happen when the fanatics found out about the solar sail, and they shot quite a few of them with FN P90's without weeping about it. But seriously, there's gonna be a helluva genocide about ten years from now when the aliens launch their first orbital mission and notice something weird. The writers chose not to explore that enormous loose end. The solar sail launch was cool though.
Alara V2.0 has a mean streak completely counter to Halston Sage, gonna be tough to warm up to her. She's got a definite Ensign Ro thing going on. Ted Danson as an admiral. I like Orville's admiralty, they often deliver bad news but they've got the civilian gov't breathing down their necks, and budget and resource problems, and they're doing everything they can on their end. Unlike TNG, when they were just stupid assholes. |

Just wrapping up the episode.
Grayson shooting and blowing shit up. Bortus with the ever present Hollywood cup and saucer grip. Will someone please stop teaching actors cup and saucer? Quoted:

Really good episode.
Mrs. FishKepr really likes the new security chief. I’m not completely warmed up to her yet. |

So, in this model they make physical first contact on receiving a message via microwave transmission? Since this is speed of light here, and the message came from a different system, it would take years to reach them.
Also, in the old ST and TNG model, first contact was reserved for civilizations that had achieved warp-speed space travel. Are they not jumping the gun? |

24 hours to leave orbit.
Begin 30 days of bad astrology sign. 12 hours to go. Welcome new future leaders astrology sign. Combined Birthday party is 4 weeks late. I my have had a few beers, but wtf... |

That city looks like a combination of Chicago and San Francisco.
And the place where they land looks like the Music Center in downtown LA. Ahh, IC. It was CSU Northridge in front of the library. They need some imagination. Now I see HESCOs. Yeah, they need some imagination. |

Unless that fake star is programmed to move correctly, it won't stay aligned with the constellation more than a few hours. View Quote But the real problem is that it's in friggin orbit right around the planet, how the hell do you visually hide that? Why the hell wasn't it put further away? |

Stupid episode, this show is completely losing it's entertainment value.
|
|
|
Derivative of STTNG Tasha Yar and Data. Isaac is a dildo.
We get it, people in the future are just like people now. |
|
And now McFarlane indulges himself in his love of showtunes.
|
|
|
|
So it feels like the Orville mocked TNG recital scenes a little by bringing in a full symphony.

Very few sites are posting about Halston Sage and McFarland's relationship and if it was why she left the show.
http://liverampup.com/entertainment/seth-macfarlane-girlfriend-gay-wife.html Seems she moved on.... https://www.eonline.com/news/970769/halston-sage-and-charlie-puth-show-pda-in-a-pool-amid-dating-rumors |

I can't believe they poured all that water on the bridge set, it had to have wrecked a ton of stuff. No way were the bridge stations built to be waterproof, and I didn't see any covers on them, and I'm 99% sure it wasn't green screened. Makes me think that was the last scene to be shot on that set, that they're building a "refit" bridge set, or maybe even an Orville-A is in the near future. That scene was either part of an extraordinarily expensive remodeling or will be disastrous to future production as shit rusts, falls apart, and mildews.
