Trailer Spaceballs 2: Not the Quest for More Money

[Stalker0]

My first exposure to The Orville was coming across it while channel surfing.
I think within 3 mins there was a joke about glory holes. Other than that it felt like a blatant Next Gen rip-off.
I'll take an ambitious and original idea like Discovery over that every day of the week.

the first half of the first season, I can respect this notion. I can say it dramatically improved, they toned down the fart jokes and added in a lot more depth of drama and plot. Honestly by the 2nd season it was no longer a ST parody, it was more ST than ST to me.

Wow, so many people didn't like he history of the world part 2? I admit that it didn't seem as good as part 1 but I still enjoyed it.

I fell asleep during it. It was boooooooooooooooooring.

 

[Valetudo]

It was disappointing.

Like I say, I'll probably never know as I avoid anything that MacFarlane is involved in.
Maybe if I ever see anybody say anything good about the show that isn't just a dig at Star Trek I might check it out.
But that's never happened.

Apologies to have taken the thread on a bit of a tangent.
For the record, the original Spaceballs had some good skits but was pretty terrible as an actual movie IMO.
I don't hold out much hope for this one given the discourse around Star Wars over the past decade.

No digs at Trek. I've loved it since 1966. They did make a few choices that change things a bit though. The one biggest choices is likely that they don't have a Transporter analog. They shuttle everywhere. After season 1 they blend the humour with some quite serious topics incredibly well, in the spirit of some of the best Trek.

The Orville is a love letter to Star Trek, not a dig.

Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman are both in.

I now feel bad- I thought he was dead.

In your defense, the guy is NINETY EIGHT years old. He'll be 99 later this month.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

When 98 years old you are, be as funny you will not.

Given the ages of the cast, I expect a bunch of geriatric jokes. One in particular, involving Light Sabers, immediately comes to mind.
