“WOAH WOAH, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??

TRACY!!!”

(For those that don’t know.)

That’s why he’s screaming.

Culber: “I’m helping!”

Still not reading his self-congratulatory books.

On the bright side, Star Trek V is no longer the worst piece of Star Trek property. :)

We did get a time sandwich, Elvis, and Isaac with a handlebar mustache. Among other things.

Those little moments were there, there were just fewer of them.

What’s smaller than as step?

“I am Conan 6, I was created after Conan 5 was killed.”

It does get better, and Ed becomes a lot less wishy-washy.

The conceit of The Orville is that it’s not the best ship in the fleet with the best crew. The Orville is an older mid-sized cruiser and the only reason Ed made Captain is because they couldn’t find enough Captains to fill out a rapidly-expanding fleet. So they gave this unimportant ship to him.

I think they spent way too much time on Ed getting over his divorce with his XO Kelly, but after that he’s fine.

As for the show itself, only the Pilot really feels like “Family Guy in space,” because that was a Trojan Horse to get the show on the air in the first place. After that, it really does become a send up to The Next Generation and the 3rd season, New Horizons, is an actual science fiction epic.

“Did you ever dance with the devil…”

The timing was that Disney was in the process of transferring ownership of all the 20th Century Fox media to them right as The Orville would have been gearing up for a fourth season production.

What’s more interesting than them not immediately green-lighting it was that they never ever canceled it. Disney rattled off a list of Fox/Hulu properties they wouldn’t continue and The Orville was suspiciously absent. Seth confirmed later on that he was negotiating to continue the show and told fans to never say die.

And, yeah, the extended production timeline of season 3 is what made Adrianne Palicki (Kelly Grayson) walk. It seems like most, if not all, the rest of the principal cast is still onboard.

I remember right before Discovery aired they showed a few behind the scenes pictures and one of them included the Klingon uniforms.

Me and a lot of other people started saying “Did they steal those from the Abrams movies?”

Star Trek has so many “could’ve beens.”

The Sulu series that could’ve been.

The Worf series that could’ve been.

The Gary Seven series that could’ve been.

The Weasley/Traveler series that could’ve been.

Finn screaming is already a meme.

The Orville was sweet justice for Penny Johnson Jerald as an actor. She has been so good and used so well as Doctor Finn.

Maybe me as an eight-year-old shouldn’t have been watching TNG.

I saw Patrick Stewart’s butt. :3

The Night Crew Captain is Chris Pine.

“Death to the opposition!”

Data’s got the munchies for some cellular-peptide cake with mint frosting.
