Re: The Orville
It would really suck if they renewed it for another season but cut way back on the budget.

Thanks for the good news Trev - my usual trawling through entertainment news has been a bit curtailed this week

Luckily I have a bunch of geeky friends on FB.
I just see them post this stuff then I share it with everyone else.
That reminds me, I need to find another thread.

Star Trek did a great job with cardboard sets , Styrofoam rock formations and left over gladiator movie props.Scooke123 wrote:It would really suck if they renewed it for another season but cut way back on the budget.
The paintings of alien landscapes were totally believable.
With a back log of unused scenes and flipping orientation of some scenes they could cut way back and no one would notice.

Re: The Orville
I am not a happy camper right now.
Not only is season 3 pushed out until 2020 now, but it will also be a HULU exclusive now.

Yeah - one of the posts from Comic-Con I bookmarked but didn't get around to posting here.tay666 wrote:I am not a happy camper right now.

Won't bother me because of mah buddies that have access to EVERYTHING courtesy of satellite dishes that resemble those things in the Australian Outback - but I can see this upsetting a few folks.

Re: The Orville
The main thing that upsets me is the late 2020 schedule. For that long of wait it better live up to his reasons for doing so. I hope it doesn't get lost in people's minds that far out.

Bit of a thread resurrection - but I've JUST started re-watching these from the beginning in prep for season 3.
Can you believe it's 4 years (almost to the day!) since the 1st episode was transmitted ?!?!?!?
Based on my re-watch of S01E01, it's great to see bits that (I now know) are expanded on in later episodes.
Without a doubt - SO much better than anything that has come out of the Kurtzman Star Trek universe over the last 4 years (Discovery, Picard, below decks) - sure they've had their moments in the sun, but judged overall - forgettable & embarrassing (even though I was a huge fan of certain episodes).
So looking forward to The Orville returning some time in the next few months.

Oh hell - NOW I'm worried - looks like Season 3 could be the last season (unless . . . )
I enjoyed the 1st 2 seasons even more second time around - it would be a CRIME if this was cancelled

It's been pushed back a couple of months - now scheduled for June 2nd 2022.
From Mr. MacFarlane . . .
- "To all ‘The Orville’ fans:
Thanks for being so patient with us as we’ve navigated the production challenges resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic . . .
As occasionally happens, our show has been repositioned amidst the ever-changing television schedule landscape, which means that the wait will be just a bit longer, and we’re now preparing for a June 2nd launch on Hulu.
We’ve always promised you a television experience that will make it worth the wait, and we’re not wavering on that.
We understand the frustration you’re feeling over more delays, so we want to give you a little taste of what’s to come.
Here’s a sneak peek at the first few minutes of our season opener, and our new main title!"
- "To all ‘The Orville’ fans:
And MAN does this look good! - everything just seems more "vibrant"

S03E01 – "Electric Sheep"
Time for a rant.
I thought this was pretty sucky:

S03E01 – "Electric Sheep"
Time for a rant.
I thought this was pretty sucky:
- • Don’t like the new opening credits or music.
• I REALLY hate that new blonde tart - can’t act, zero screen presence, and annoying as ****
• What the heck was up with that “test flight” bit ?!?! The only purpose seemed to be to fill up 5 minutes of transmission time by showing just how dumb & boring the writers can be.- (flying like a retard & firing explosive devices in a tightly-packed dockyard area FULL of ships - WTH !??!?!)
• Not what I was hoping for, and too morose . . . and quite why they thought this was a decent enough script to fill up an entire episode is beyond me - especially since there are only 9 this season AND this was the opener.
• There were some good bits, but this episode certainly won’t have helped their chances of getting a 4th season (which is apparently looking INCREASINGLY less likely).

S03E02 – "Shadow Realms"
Still “iffy”, but a lot better than the season opener.
The good:
I’ll keep watching in the hope things get back to their old levels - but this has been a disappointment so far.

S03E02 – "Shadow Realms"
Still “iffy”, but a lot better than the season opener.
The good:
- • After the 1st 10mins or so, this picked up - I like monsterzies – and this had some really creepy moments that worked well.
• Finally we got a BIT of the humour that I really liked in the 1st two seasons – the “May the force be with you” and “Preferred sexual positions” deliveries being much appreciated.
• Kelly’s eyes give me the shivers (in a good way) - Adrianne Palicki is a great actress & steals every scene she is in (as she did in “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”). Scott Grimes must be nuts! (or one/both of them are high-maintenance in real life)
- • STILL hate the new blonde tart - she can precede the kids into the airlock.
• Still hate the kids too. No – I mean REALLY hate them.
• The doctor is getting WAY too much screen time.
• So much lazy writing (to accompany the all-too-frequent dodgy effects):- o Tons of stupid risks were taken, along with illogical decisions.
o The “decontamination” statement while not wearing their helmets was a definite facepalm moment.
o Where did everyone go when the lights went out? - the hallways were EMPTY!
o Splitting up and going solo - that’s always a great idea! (not).
o How did the beasties get off the Orville?
o The crew that survived sure cheered-up fast - they were all-smiles & laughing their heads off in the restaurant!
- o Tons of stupid risks were taken, along with illogical decisions.
I’ll keep watching in the hope things get back to their old levels - but this has been a disappointment so far.

S03E03 – "Mortality Paradox"
Well thank Lemmy for THAT . . . this was SO back on form that it goes into my top 5 episodes ever.
All the right people (for me) in a well-developed story that keeps you guessing until the end. Jumps around at a high-pace with everything maintaining interest.
Also had several bits that made me smile (I like the funnies). Nice tie-in to previous entries as well

S03E09 - "Domino"
Given I haven't posted about S03E04/05/06/07/08, it's fairly obvious apathy set in . . . a combination of disappointment and frustration . . . with episodes that were awful, mediocre, insulting and okay.
But tonight we got the penultimate episode in the season, and I think that was probably the best episode of The Orville EVER
Opening STRONG right out the gate, it was more like a well-financed movie than a TV show, up there with some of the best Star Trek, Farscape, Babylon 5 et-al . . . well written, well acted, and just damn CLEVER, with a steady build, WORTHWHILE slower parts (instead of the cringe & sickly ones we've had this season), perfect character arcs, and a ton of surprises & overlapping action sequences.
I don't know how many of you read this thread, so I'll avoid spoilers, and I'll strongly suggest you go into this cold - the journey is half the fun.
SO impressed with this one.
Let's hope the last episode doesn't let us down the way I felt so much of Season 3 did.

Re: The Orville
There's also a recently released novella that takes place between S3 Eps 8 and 9
https://www.amazon.com/Orville-Sympathy ... 196&sr=8-1
Apparently it was going to be an episode but they couldn't film it due to time constraints.
I have not read it yet, just letting people know it exists.
