The Orville

TerrorFirmer

I would entirely disagree also, Orville has its stronger and weaker episodes like any TV show but it's been really solid this season overall with some great character development. Discovery is a dumpster fire by comparison and difficult to sit through at times for me...at the moment I'm 3 episodes behind and finding it hard to find the motivation to watch, or care about any of the characters.

Of course you’d say that with your previous blinkered comments on discovery.

It's "blinkered" to suggest that this isn't a thread about Discovery? :rolleyes: Get a clue.
It's "blinkered" to suggest that Orville and Discovery are not even the same genre show other than the fact that they're set in space? :rolleyes: Sure.

Well when someone on the Discovery thread raves that the last two episodes was some of the finest ever and then claims that the Orville is crap basically for Season 2 it just shows that you’re complete biased against the Orville.
The point is that the 2nd season of the Orville has been excellent while Discovery apart from the last episode which was excellent has been appalling.
Hopefully the last episode writers are hired to write more and that both shows get renewed for a third season.

So this is or isn't a thread about Discovery? Simple question.

Please show me one other thread derailed by me arguing semantics?

Also, please explain how it's semantics to point out that this thread is about a completely different show?

So either you don't know whether this thread is or isn't about The Orville or you know exactly what you're doing...


Show me where I said I don't like The Orville?

Also - same to you about Discovery.


You're losing this and looking silly, unable to answer simple questions.

So moving on we’ve no episode this week? Rats

That was a good retelling of "The Wounded" with small differences.

This show needs to move on from TNG

But but but there are so many Star Trek stories to be re-interpreted
Not sure what they thought would happen when they brought him on as writer/producer

(Still like it tho)

Like it too but season 1 was better

For some reason I read Braga's name in to cork_exile's comment - that's who I'm referring to in my second line...

Loved this weeks episode. As for Bortus and his mate I’ve gone from hating them to absolutely loving them.

I thought it was ok nothing special more a filler episode and quite a cheap one too Id say. It was very funny in parts do and the parts with Bottas and Kriten were funny. I think this episode had a message about addiction too.

Just watching it now and even before I saw his face, I recognised the voice...

Good homage to "The Booby Trap" Brahms holodeck ep

Thought it was a really good episode as well. The cigarette side-plot was great. Between that and the moustache, Bortus is probably my favourite character.....his deadpan delivery and complete lack of emotion make him the best comic relief character, impossible not to smile.

Love the show, so many great episodes. There is so much going on from tributes and likenesses to Star Trek to messages about human behaviour.
My favourite episode still is from season 1 though, the one where they find a world governed by social media.
I think the latest one was so funny.

I didn't like him at the start but now he's my favourite character on the show.

There was a 2 week break after that one as well so you've missed the time capsule episode

Franz Von Peppercorn

I find these breaks in US schedules fairly crazy. Are they teasing their audience.

fritzelly

Actually Sky are showing that one (E11) next Thursday
