The Critics Must Be Crazy: Seth MacFarlane's 'The Orville' Captures The Spirit Of 'Star Trek'


Finally, a good review in the MSM. Kain has also told the truth about Gamegate. All the SJW reviewers pan The Orville.

I will keep watching, it wasn't as funny as I was expecting, but I'd rate the first episode a 7.5/10.

I'm old enough to remember when Animal House, Airplane, Blazing Saddles, etc. were killed by critics. Nowadays, these films are highly regarded and considered groundbreaking or at least influential.

I didn't expect much from The Orville, in fact, I was afraid it was going to be an Airplane type over-the-top type spoof. There was much more substance to this show that I thought there'd be. I was first impressed by the excellent effects, but then by the humanity of the show.

Yes, there's a bit of exposition that must be endured before the show gets it's feet under it, but I'm happy about what I saw last night.

Bravo to the cited critic who had the courage to say that even a silly diversion is worthy of watching. I know I'll watch another from what I saw with the first episode.

reply

Agreed. The first episode was great fun and I don't care what "critics" say.

I'm on the band wagon. I enjoyed it.
