Stam Fine looks at the first two seasons of Seth Macfarlane's live action space dramedy, The Orville. It's not Star Trek, but sorta is, but it isn't, but it is. A delayed third (and possibly final season) is coming sometime (hopefully) in 2021, so in this video we look at the firsdt two seasons of a show that starts off as a Star Trek parody, but eventually blossoms into its own thing, a show that harkens back to 90's Star Trek but is still as modern as the most recent Trek series, just without the terrible storytelling. Seth Macfarlane stars as Captain Ed Mercer, captain of the Union ship, The Orville, along with his executive officer, Commander Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki), who's also his ex-wife. Also stars Penny Johnson Jerald (Dr Claire Finn), Peter Macon (Lt Commander Bortus), J Lee (Lt Commander John LaMarr), Lt Jessica Szohr (Talla Keyali), Lt Alara Kitan (Halston Sage). With appearances by Victor Gerber, Ted Danson, Norm MacDonald, and a host of former Star Trek regulars.
The Orville was originally made for the Fox Network but will now be seen on Hulu in the US. Outside of the US, The Orville is often available on Disney+ wherever that service has Star content. Fingers crossed the new series ends up there.
Video Note: This video has been finished for a long while (late 2019) awaiting the broadcast of Season 3, which has been delayed for obvious reasons. As such, the video doesn't mention Star Trek Lower Decks, an actual Star Trek comedy. It also doesn't mention Galaxy Quest, since that's not so much a Star Trek parody, but a sly look at the rivalries and insecurities of the actors who made a show like Star Trek.
The Orville: New Horizons (Season 3) premiered in June 2022 - Розваги
in our most dire, depressing kelvin time, the orvile, the actual star trek series is a beacon shining the light of hope
The Orville is in our timeline.
I love the Orville too... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let there be many more seasons! Even if they only come every other year.
I absolutely love the Orville. Hopefully there will be more seasons after the 3rd has finished.
Third is their final season. I think it will be of only 10 episodes
@@mortalkore They said it might not be the final final season
@@mortalkore They are doing season four.
The Orville SLAYS modern Star Trek so much it’s not even close
I've tried multiple times to watch Discovery and Picard and I can't even do it. Everything about it is terrible. I will take the Orville any day over that crap.
How dare you tell the truth.shame on you for telling the truth you truth teller
Whatever
Not even close. Orville is far inferior to any modern Star Trek. It's bad TNG fan fiction.
@@lars573 LOL, whatever, bud.
I never really gave Star Trek much attention until my early 20s and I fell in love with the next generation, I was always a huge Star Wars fan and I was always under the belief that Star Trek was inferior, now I know to never be biased towards a franchise, which is why I can dress like the joker and still talk about how marvel movies are freaking awesome. The Orville is a great show and it deserves to have the longevity that TNG had
I really enjoyed watching this last year. The story with the robot Isaac and his home world was well executed. Their ships are cool.
I had no interest in watching this show. I was like “it’ll be cheesy and not funny” even though I like Family Guy. But I ran out of stuff to watch during the pandemic so I gave it a go. Now I’m hooked. I was honestly shocked by how good it is. It’s more Star Trek than bloody Star Trek!
exactly same here...jinged watched it a few months ago .hooked best show on TV..imo
Hulu has canceled the Orville, it will only run for one season - S3, but there is more bad news, that the Orville may not be on at all. Due to complications created by the pandemic the crew and staff have been unable to return and filming has ground to a halt. Although Seth tried desperately to get it back on track to air for the 2021 season it is unlikely to happen, seeing that as of this date they are still not working on the show.
@@TheGreatSnafoo yeah that’s a bummer but as long as we continue to exploit animals this kind of zoonotic disease will be a reality. We’re living in a time of absolute exploitation of the planet in every facet. If we can’t learn our lesson, who gives a shit if the Orville continues. We deserve to be extinct.
No offense, but only place where I saw this info was that no name website. If I remember correctly just recently producers from Hulu said something like they did not decided yet.
@@TheGreatSnafoo Hulu didn't cancel it
Penny Johnson Jerald also portrayed Kassidy Yates, Capt. Sisko's love interest in DS9.
There has been talk amongst is Orvillians that it would be nice to have Avery Brooks appear in an episode as an "old colleague" of Dr. Finn and icing on the cake would be his being an old flame as well.
It's been a long road getting from there to here.
Now I realize I never took it seriously, MacFarlane being there didn't help, but I enjoyed the Orville. I can't say the same of current Star Treks. I think they can go now their own way and I would still watch it.
The Special Effects are great especially the second season with the episode Identity part 2. They almost won an Emmy for it! They were nominated. Speaking of awards they won the Saturn award for best Sci Fi series. The third season according to Co Producer of the Orville Tom Costantino said the special effects are amped up even more.
I'm really looking forward to the third season.
@@StamFine Me too Stam 😊
This show needs to be publicized more. Very few people knows how good it is.
They really did the show a disservice with how they marketed it. They marketed it as a fart-joke driven comedy in space, when really it's a Star Trek homage with more humor.
@@travis1240 in fairness, that's what it was the first season. It got better in later seasons.
Season 3 crushed it. Brilliant! Let's hope for Season 4!
ST discovery is a series i cant watch past the 3rd episode of each season.
Meanwhile i binged each season of The Orville.
First time i watched it i thought: Ok its a sci-fi series with just too much humor....BUT...at the end of every episode there was always an important message ! And that is whats makes it absolutely great because in Star Trek TnG for example it was the same. The Orville is for me one of the best sci-fi tv series ever ! It was 100 times better that ST Discovery. Cant wait for Season 3 ! PS: I watched the first two seasons 3 times... :D
I really enjoyed this show and I'm bummed that it's going onto Hulu. Mostly because I don't have Hulu. But, at least the show gets to go on and hopefully have a few more seasons. And there's always DVD, maybe.
Hulu isn't even available internationally! Guess everyone outside the US will just have to pirate it.
The Orville : New Horizons (Season 3) premiered in June 2022.
Update for S3?
I watched all the seasons and absolutely loved it
I am in love with Lt. Alara Kitan . (-:
I think the show says it all and what's all about by what's on his desk.the show is and can be anything from Kermit to Kitty Hawk
The Orville is well on the way to being far more than just a love letter to Star Trek. Check out this fantastic interview with Seth Macfarlane hosted by Physicist Sean Carroll ua-cam.com/video/YyqstSk0DQU/v-deo.html
MacFarlane is an SF nut- in a good way.
The InCels who like The Orville are too stupid to realize that it’s making fun of them.
@@john-lenin Congratulations, you just won the epic dipshit of the year award, beating out even the most virulent antivaxxers and flat earthers in the process. That's quite an achievement :D
@@john-lenin and speaking of incels...
6:30 hey MWTDITW was fun. I died at the faire from laughing. And the cameos 👌
that 2nd season was breathtaking, keep it up guys. Plus anything with Adrianne Palicki. OMG, she is mesmerizing.
The Orville is the best show in this genre right now. Season 3 reached another level altogether; perhaps the best single season of any "Star Trek-ish" show ever!
The Orville wants to be liked. Discovery (and Kurtzman Drek) wants to be hated.
I'm not sure that's a compliment.
@@tentringer4065 A compliment to the Orville and Discovery is just insulting.
The Orville is so funny and I’m still a Star Trek fan. So please go one.
I subscribed to Hulu specifically to watch The Orville.
After watching one episode of Discovery, Picard and Short Treks, i just stopped watching Kurtzman's disrespectful non-Star Trek shows and just watched The Orville instead. I loved it :)
The Orville is much better than any of the current Star Trek stuff.
Im looking forward to the third season
It is such a pleasure to see a show that isn't hidden in darkness. I guess I have to give it a shot after all.
The actress who plays Dr. Finn was also Kasidy Yates on Ds9! Surprised you didn't mention that !
At 06:00 - The narrator did make the connection to Star Trek's alumus without going into full details.
Yes, enjoyed this life action but slow to come back show, and I love Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
No one else on my planet seems to have heard of The Orville so it’s a lonely world for me. Amongst these comments and the Mighty Stam Fine I feel I am amongst friends 👽
11 seasons please
Would love to hear your thoughts on the third season. Not sure what would be needed to get a fourth but even if they don't get that they had a great run.
I love The Orville.
As The Orville is a love letter to Star Trek, Discovery is an outright death threat.
And Picard? Well that's just a sad note they found on the bed.
2:55 She Also , previously played Cassidy Yates from Star Trek DS9 as well.
RIP Norm McDonald
I need to find where the 3rd season will be in Australia !! the first two were broadcast on SBS. The Orville is sooo much better than Discovery I reckon
The Orville theme seems to be quite similar to another homage to Star Trek. The theme for the Galaxy Quest "historical documents" (tv show).
I loved the Orville. Great series. It seemed so much more like Star Trek than the new series Discovery and Picard, neither of which I liked very much. I can't wait for the new Orville season to start.
Honestly, if she grew a beard, I'd suddenly be very into beards.
I only have an antenna for television and I don't get to channel this is on where can I watch this
Never noticed until now but there is a certain similarity between the uniforms worn on the Orville and on Captain Scarlet the Gerry Anderson show from the late 60s.
Nice vid. Looking forward to watching this show.
Bring on season three.😃
Such a terrific, wonderful show. It's a shame that being Hulu-exclusive will likely be the death of it. :(
The Orviile was by far my favourite show in a very long time. I watch everything delayed but not the Orivile, I watched that as it was showing the first time. It was a glorious programme with characters we knew fast and cared about deeply. All of Star Trek after Voyager (sorry Enterprise - you broke too many time line rules) was just not Star Trek, but The Orvile started where Next Generation left off and it was marvelous!
Then came season 3.... no longer tied to the hour format it would wander well past an hour and for the first time got really boring. Being bored by your favourite show is as unpleasant as being bored by your favourite show! I kept imagining in my head how to cut the crap out and get it back to 42 minute run time, and it was pretty easy for me but not for the actual show runners. It was still a good show but bloated week after week.
I want season four but I want it back to being tightly run. If it goes long I don't want to feel every second drag out. But from what I hear the show is over Seth got what he wanted and is happy it was created but was always supposed to be a short lived thing. Too bad. Great cast with real talents and it was Star Trek where no Star Trek exists beyond DVDs of the good ol days.
Season 3 focused too much on Charlie, a new character (who was coincidentally MacFarlane's then girlfriend). Her episodes ruined the show for me.
I’d be tempted to watch Orville. It seems it IS a love letter to Star Trek. Problem is, I e been massively put off by the absolute scumbags who have weaponised it AGAINST people who might enjoy actual Trek.
Don't let it get to you. They're all just TV shows and not hills worth dying for. Like what you want and don't worry about other people's opinions.
Just started watching it. I think it is good. The effects are amazing, the episodes are well thought out. What I do not like is the humor. It is too modern, the jokes pertaining to our time. It is also very Americanized. One of the best things about Star Trek is the human crew members coming from different parts of the Earth.
I am halfway done season 2 and it is definitely getting better, except for the above mentioned
Has only gotten better each subsequent season, the first one had the most comedy, the balance between comedy, drama and action has only gotten better and better, my eyes even got moist in two episodes in the third season.
love this show!
Where's all my Jyli'aks at?
Love the Orville
The orvil..what star trek next generation should of been
Perhaps he should follow it up with a space station centric series... Captain Mercer, having screwed up big time is promoted sideways to the Space equivalent of Antartica.
Being forced to watch constant reruns of ST Discovery until retirement age.
@@carlossaraiva8213 You monster.
Well, the third season was good. A few meh episodes. But they are all pretty much feature length. There are alot of callbacks. I found myself not remembering what for. The final episode call back took a minute, and imo was handled poorly. However the main plot is great and youll smile. There is going to be a season four.
The one that Seth needs to land on the show is a man to play his grandfather ....yup, you guessed it ..... Shatner ...... but not JT Kirk Shatner ...... more like just plain old Shatner , as himself ...... an old likable guy , who happens to have been a starship captain and galactic hero in his younger days, just glad to be alive after going through one hell of a ride in his younger days ...... just a thought
Fair review, I'd venture. Was never the biggest Star Trek fan, but STD absolutely left me cold on Star Trek, and I found Piccard to be a bloody insult to the character and the series legacy. The Orville I could watch over and over.
I constantly felt concern over Kelly’s knees being thicker than her thighs. I hope she’s well.
I would love to see your review of the third season.
5:32 - ...they did "Jaynestown" from Firefly?
Never been able to watch the Orville - don't subscribe to any of the providers - but since it first came about, have always wanted to.
There will be a way.
If you like galaxy quest you will like this its more star trek than anything on tv currently
I prefer to think of a "dramedy" such as the Orville just plain realistic. The characters, by being able to keep a sense of humor, come closer to what most you and I would call normal life. We don't have Picards, Kirks and Janeways surrounding us. We've got deeply flawed people who can go a bit amock somehow joining together and making something greater than they are. Getting pissed off enough to call an alien judge a "dick" is a deeeeeply human thing to do. Oh... and don't forget that Gordon is legit the best pilot in the whole Union by a fair margin!
I refuse to watch Star Trek Discovery and Picard but I may give the Orville a go. Thanks for the review!
No problem!
Ricardo, you are right not to watch those abominations, but you need to watch the Orville and give it a fair shake. It isn't perfect but it is good. It is decent Star trek like scifi unlike the recent incarnations of ST which make Enterprise look like a shining gem of unparalleled brilliance.
Yup. Prefer Orville to Discovery. Gave up on latter, but looking forward to former
I'm binge-watching your reviews they are so wonderful! But can I beg you to increase the audio setting on your video editing software? Even at full volume, I sometimes struggle to hear what you're saying (and it's virtually *impossible* to hear your material when there's any non-trivial noise in my flat, such as a washing machine doing its stuff).
sure. future vids (2023 uploads and later) will be louder.
@@StamFine That'd be brilliant. Many thanks in advance. (Maybe a review of "This Is Spinal Tap" would be an apt:choice for the first of them :oD) Just to be clear though, your reviews are invariably absolutely superb and are easily of *broadcast* quality.
The Orville ROCKS! I hope for more seasons. I must add that Star Dreck...Trek Discovery managed to kill my love for the franchise. Filthy murderous neo-nazi mouse!
👌
8:55 is she talking about Tom Paris?
What did you think of season three???
Could you ever do a video on Sapphire and Steel ?
More than likely at some point.
Alara Kitan was the best character on the show.
"The Orville" is for fans who love Star Trek. "Discovery" is for viewers who wanted to 'fix' Star Trek.
I enjoy this show far more than Discovery or Picard and I'm annoyed and disappointed it will be lucky to make it past three seasons.
My thoughts, exactly!
I’m still trying to figure out why
I don't consider myself a Star Trek fan. I am a Star Trek fan.
This is my absolute *favorite* show currently on. The abject disrespect of the fans by Discovery and Picard makes me ill. None of the violence, language, nudity, or other differences in modern Trek puts me off at all - except that it doesn’t feel like the hopeful vision of the future, with characters who Respect, Trust, and even feel Friendship towards each other. The original Trek characters were people you’d like to know, and the Enterprise was a fictional place you’d like to visit. And as a result, the fans felt a kinship to each other, and felt the drive to meet, have conventions, make the costumes, and share their love for what Trek used to be. What other TV show ever had that?? The two current Trek series are a slap in the face to these fans, like myself, and make us feel like Abrams and Kurtzman are going out of their way to tell us we’re no longer welcome. Long live The Orville!
i have a hate love relationship with this show. its good and bad and the same time and sometimes the tone of the show is all over the place and its really annoying even after several episodes and you feel like you understand the show and what they're going for.
Star Trek as it should be, unlike the execrable Discovery.
orville is gradually better than STD and STP
As things stand right this minute (May 2021), I would agree.
Definitely a lot more FUN, anyway.
The idea Picard could be much 'fun' died with Icheb and Maddox.
Although I can't agree with you about Picard or Discovery, once again you have put together a nice ep about a really underrated show. Now keep going on Doctor Who!
No idea why MWTDITW get so much hate. Was funnier than Ted Movies
I bloody hated Discovery. It felt so 'angry' verging on 'cold' all the damn time. Where as the Orville felt more 'human and warm', even when it wasn't, if you get my drift. It also felt more like Trek and not some loud mindless spin off, were people shout at each other or talk endless drivel. lol
I lost a lot of respect for The Orville when the black guy was humping that statue for a laugh (I hope it was for a laugh) in the first season. For a love letter to Star Trek, that was a completely unprofessional thing for an officer to do, cheapening the character immensely, even in a "dramedy". But I think I should give it another chance.
Otherwise known as "Real Star Trek".
I find this show much much better than Trek ever was or could be, but thanks to them for shitting on the fanbase with their new crap so better shows like The Orville can rise to the occasion and fill the void.
Duhscovery and Pretendcard are completely unworthy of being considered Stat Trek.
_'The Orville'_ is the true heir to Star Trek's legacy.
I would prefer the show to have remained on FOX but there is the upside that each episode in season three will have a run time of 70+ minutes.
The humor isnt crass but it is just as obvious as anything mcfarlane has ever written. The dialogue is just bad even if the plots and scifi ideas are interesting.
Edit: the show also rips off too much from star trek. Homage and inspiration are not sufficient justification for the degree to which the show just copies the look and feel of the interior of a star trek ship and crew. If it were straight parody or satire, like galaxy quest, fine, but it isnt.
The Orville is what I wish the new Trek would be. C’mon franchise, bring back the REAL Trek!
Thank God for Lower Decks!
I liked Orville better the first season when it was a satire show. Now that they are “serious” and recycling all the old Star Trek, BattleStar Galicia, etc plots it is so boring.
Original Star Trek: Introduction.
Star Trek Next Generation: High budget, mostly lacked creativity but with WOW moments.
Star Trek deep space 9: mundane and confusing.
Star Trek Voyager: Thumbs up.
Star Trek Enterprise: Excellent for putting bored housewives or househusbands to sleep.
Star Trek Discovery: Social media message videos. Sometimes scary SMMVs. Other times disturbing SMMVs.
Mundane and confusing, @Glenn Nile ? Hardly, or not for long, anyway.
Got pretty serialized, good character arcs, and really ramps up later.
The only thing I don't like about The Orville is the x-wife character....and for some reason I don't like the actress either....it also doesn't help that she practically played the EXACT role on Marvel's Agents of Shield!
You are a Star Trek fan AND enjoy Disco & STP ??!! WOW, I assume that was a gag or that you watched Nu Trek on a dare or as a Fear Factor audition. I tried it once. I vomited through my eyes. The Orville is a really good show but next to Disco & STP its gold plated Shakespear dipped in honey and rolled in latinum.
In the only episode I ever tried to watch it was suggested that it is better to fix an election by stupid aliens for them then let them make their own mistakes. What does that say about the mindset of the series makers? Sounds like the “benevolence” of a colonialist dictatorship to me. The United States Of Outer Space indeed. But what do I know? Seen from the US perspective I am an alien myself. Nanu Nanu!
its better than STTOS
I bailed on this series after the first three episodes. The cheesy stories were obviously for the American market only. The idea was good and it has its moments, but the relentless cringey stories killed it for me.
It may be a "you either love it or hate it show" but it really does get better once it decides to do its own thing and not be an SNL Trek parody.
