THE ORVILLE: News/Trailers/Discussion/SPOILERS

[TOIVA]

Gotta say I loved the 6th episode: "The Krill". A "how to" for making a convincing alien prosthetic yet keeping the actors able to perform.

[Annoyed]

This show is a stroke of genius.
It's more "Star Trek" then Trek itself is these days, and it's timed perfectly to satisfy the demand of a lot of Trek fans who can't or don't want to buy a subscription to CBS's streaming service, as well as a gadget to attach to their TV so you can watch it.

HDMI cables come with most DVD players...as long as you have a real laptop though. I am enjoying Orville for what it is. I really liked this week's episode. So far it is my favorite.

[Annoyed]

Oh, I can connect a laptop to the TV via HDMI, but why can't they just publish an app that I can install on the TV? Too cheap to make a deal with the TV OEM? Whatever, I don't care.

And then there is the cost of a subscription to a service to get access to one show. I might subscribe eventually. But not right now.

I think it depends on your TV, the newer ones should work like apps on a handheld device. Some devices can also transmit the image via the TV itself or the DVD player wirelessly. But yeah, it is a bit of a hassle.

[Annoyed]

Nah, the FAQ's on CBS's site say they don't have any apps. for smart TV's. Gotta buy either a Google or Amazon dongle to plug into the TV's USB port or watch it on a gadget or laptop.

[Spimman]

I'm really enjoying this show. I love the comedy aspect which generally has me laughing out loud multiple times per episode, but I am also seeing them build on characters and villains which gives me hope for the future of the show. Assuming ratings are good enough for renewal.

[Teddybrown]

Seth McFarlane is already talking about working on a season 2 if I remember correctly

[jelgate]

With all do respect, writers are always talking about the next season no matter how slim chances are

[Annoyed]

The Cancel Bear Has The Orville as likely to be renewed.

[jelgate]

You missed the point

[aretood2]

You know, while I find this show entertaining I really don't find it all that hilarious. It hasn't made me laugh. *Is sadtood*

[Annoyed]

Maybe the joke is that it's more Star Trek than Star Trek is these days. But I agree, I'm not getting a lot of laughs out of it either. But that's ok. I like it all the same.

[hedwig]

I've been getting a bunch of "smiles" from some parts of the episodes so far shown.

[TOIVA]

Yeah, the gags are hit and miss for me too. But some laughs are better than none.
