Seth MacFarlane stars in and created his own version of Star Trek. The Orville recently debuted and many questions have arisen due to the series. Is this going to be a sci-fi version of Family Guy? Is this show going to be a revolving series of poop jokes and non stop MacFarlane humor? Is this show any good? The surprising answer to this is yes. The Orville delivered in its debut episode.<\/p>\n
The series opens with MacFarlane’s character Ed Mercer finding his wife having an affair with an alien. This and the following divorce get to him and he’s left a broken man. A year later, The Union (The Orville’s version of the Federation) decides to give Mercer one last shot and gives him command of the Orville, a mid size exploratory ship. he is sent on a routine supply mission and is later sent his first officer along the way. Kelly Grayson (his ex-wife).<\/p>\n
The episode serves as a fine opener and gives the characters all a time to shine and establish their characters. The introduction of the Krill, a recurring evil alien race provide a surprising level of danger and give the Orville crew a good backdrop to come together as an effective crew despite the animosity of the captain and first officer, who form to make a very formidable team.<\/p>\n
This was a fun and very solid opener for a sci-fi series. I had initial hesitation with the series and hoped it wouldn’t be Family Guy in Space. I was pleasantly surprised to see that while the MacFarlane jokes were there, they were kept to a minimum and the episode carried a surprisingly serious tone. The design of the series is amazing. The Orville looks like an advanced ship. The technology looks futuristic and the uniforms are stellar. I actually want one of these uniforms to wear at conventions.<\/p>\n
All in all The Orville opened to a rousing success and hopefully this will continue on into the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
