I hear great things about how well done the progressivism of #TheOrville is and that it’s a great show besides. I’d like to give it a chance, but I have some problems with #SethMacFarlane.
#FamilyGuy, his most well known property, is riddled with racism misogyny, and the like that, for me, crosses the line. I personally cancelled him a long time ago.
Help me though- has he gone on an “apology tour” (i.e. expressed regret)? Is modern Family Guy better? How can I forgive his past transgressions?
@Jamie TBH I never watched family guy so I can't speak to what he did on that show or what he's said about it or its themes.
As far as Orville, it is progressive-ish is some ways. Though I will say at times it feel like it might be doing so almost in a way that is meant to poke fun? I don't know, I could never really tell where it was on that spectrum. I think it was meant to be a positive Star Trek like show, but you definitely have the aire of a comedy writer there. Show message unclear.
Just finished watching The Orville New Horizons and... wow - how awesome was THAT! This season was great, and much more serious than previous ones with a lot of good character development and some really good stories too!
I always said that The Orville did Star Trek better than Star Trek does (even when it was more comedic at the start) and that was even more true in this season - the Moclan and Kaylon story arcs were really meaty and were really well done! And they even tied up some of the loose ends leftover from previous seasons too (though I do wonder what the deal was with the Chak'Tal...).
The last episode was more like an epilogue but even if they don't do another season (it doesn't seem likely at this point) I think it had a really good run and did what it set out to do. I would love to see more of this setting, in some form (books? comics? cartoons?) but I'd also be OK if this is all we're going to get. "Future Unknown", indeed!
if you're still on the fence about this and you like sci-fi, then I would definitely recommend that you start watching it - it's very good stuff! #scifi#TheOrville#NewHorizons
Die letzte Folge der Serie #TheOrville gesehen und ohne zu spoilern, mich hat die Serie nahezu auf ganzer Linie überzeugt.
Die Abschlussfolge war humorvoll mit Niveau, zeigte was alle Trekkis immer schon mal sehen wollten und hielt liebevoll der Menschheit einen Spiegel vor.
So ähnlich hatte ich mir eine würdige #StarTrek Serie vorgestellt die zwischen heut und morgen vermittelt. Discovery wirkte dagegen auf mich wie eine vor Pathos triefende Orgie von Effekthaschereien.
1 and 2 are versions of Stolas from #HelluvaBoss , who is my favorite Character in that universe.
3. Isaac from #TheOrville. Robots and Androids are my soft spot in every Sci-Fi. Perhaps one of the reaons i advocate for True Ai to be cautious with and how to treat it.
4. Batman done for my #eveningRelaxArt
Poorly worded article title. Very short interview. We do learn that it seems John was requested to speak for a small part in #StarTrekProdigy, but not a full role. Is this true, @GoodAaron?
Embarrassing to admit, so many of the classics I see on other folks list, like Babylon 5 and Stargate, are shows I haven't seen ... "yet" ... I think I'll start the Stargate journey first, then move to Babylon 5. 🙏🙌
@riversidebryan@jcrabapple Nothing to be embarrassed about. B5 was hard to watch when it was on; kept getting moved around; and largely written by one of the people involved in Sense8 (another show I really enjoyed). I’ve never seen the Stargate series either, and the ten seasons commitment keeps making me put it off a bit more. Either way, I hope you enjoy them.
