Nick Parker 3,040 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Don't have a link at the moment, but a few days ago Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson harped about viewers shouldn't trust other big news media, essentially. This got a lot of backlash, and Seth MacFarlane said that that stunt makes him embarrassed to work for Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While FOX Television and FOX News share a parent company (for the moment), they two completely separate entities, and run as such. I doubt this is going to be a problem for MacFarlane, especially given that FOX Entertainment is about to be sold to Comcast or (hopefully) Disney. 1 hour ago, Jay said: If FOX cancels The Orville, Hulu or Netflix will pick it up. They're not going to cancel The Orville. It's not as if MacFarlane compared anyone on FOX News to Planet of the Apes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 The series is a ratings and critical success.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I wonder if season 2 will be pretty much just McNeely and Debney again (I know there was another dude, whose name escapes me, that scored a single post-pilot episode last year).

Jay 37,281 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Bruce Broughton scored the pilot only Andrew Cottee scored a single episode Either Joel McNeely or John Debney scored all the remaining episodes (5 each) Broughton's main theme is worked into the umderscore of various episodes by McNeely and Debney, though there is no other recurring thematic material that I picked up on (individual episode scores often have their own main theme that recurs throughout) Yavar Moradi and 1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Wonder if any other composers will get asked for season 2. I'd love Stu Phillips to have a go at this (if he still works). Is this old news? Seth MacFarlane‘s The Orville is coming back for a second season, and it looks like the Star Trek-inspired sci-fi comedy managed to roll their surprising ratings from season one into a much bigger budget for season 2. The scope of the show looks far larger than it used to; all of those locations look expensive and we’ll find out if the new episodes are up to snuff when The Orvillereturns to Fox on December 30, 2018. https://www.slashfilm.com/comic-con-trailers-and-bits-the-orville-the-gifted-adventure-time-steven-universe-and-more/ Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I wonder if the imagery of Bordas' right hand in his final shot was intended based on the suggestion of the situation, or if I'm just seeing what I want to. I'm kicking myself because I didn't recognize the bartender until the final scene, when I read the synopsis; I don't remember this actor's name in the opening titles. I totally didn't recognize Chad Coleman or Will Sasso in the episode, either. I do remember seeing their names in the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The Orville 2x01 Ja'loja Ooof, that was a bit of a dud episode toe start a new season, which is kind of deflating when you've been looking forward to something for so long. I quite enjoyed the entire opening, with the new Jason Alexander bartender character, and the setup of Bortus's yearly piss. But everything that happened for entire middle of hte episode was kinda bleh, wannit? The A story revolving around the love triangle of Ed, Kelly, and her teacher boyfriend really dragged and just felt like a dumb storyline to do for a bunch of adults on a spaceship. The B story of Claire and Isaac dealing with her kids misbehaving was better. The C story of Alara on her blind dates was probably the funniest. I dunno, after the extended time they've been off the air, when granted a big SUNDAY NIGHT PREMIERE, you think they would have used a more action-heavy episode, or at least one with a big guest star (like last year's great Charlize Theron episode) to kick things off, instead of what felt like a run of the mill late-season episode they usually do when they need to save the special effects budgets for bigger episodes. Still looking forward to the rest of the season, but this was a bit deflating. Oh, and was that a new opening title sequence? I can't remember if all the footage was the same - it seemed more interesting this year from what I remember, and I think maybe the music was re-recorded with a bit more drums or something? Not sure.

I knew he sounded super familiar after his first line, and then placed who it was after his second line. His name was in the credits, he was the last one listed - he got the coveted "and" for "and Jason Alexander" to finish off the cast list. Quote I totally didn't recognize Chad Coleman or Will Sasso in the episode, either. I do remember seeing their names in the credits. Chad Coleman plays Bortus's husband. I don't think he had any lines this episode but he was on the planet at the end for the piss. Will Sasso played Mooska, the owner of the Mooska's restuarant seen a few times in the episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
