The Orville

[lsgreg]

Could they make a Galaxy Quest series? I mean where it continues the movie not the pretend show. Tim Allen is free these days. Sam Rockwell might be hard to get back. I hope the Orville would be as good as that.

I am not going to lie, I am actually looking forward to this. I mean on one hand I love Star Trek and it looks like a really good Star Trek parody. On the other hand, it's Seth MacFarlane and I really don't think he is all that funny but this show COULD work. I mean with Star Trek coming out again, this is a perfect time to do a Star Trek parody and I would watch this show BUT I would also say that it would only last two seasons at best.

I'm not the biggest fan of Seth MacFarlane. I can't think of a joke he's made that me genuinely laugh. And yet I'm cautiously optimistic about this. MacFarlane is a fan of Star Trek and well I do like the occasional zany sci-fi work so it if focuses on that rather than 'star trek but with immature sex jokes!' then I think this can be a good substitute for a galaxy quest TV show for the time being.

As long as Orville is a light hearted comedy that is also a Star Trek parody then I am all fine. I do remember an article where Seth MacFarlane stated that he wants to make Sci-fi "fun again" (or something like that) in an interview (but it's way too late for me to look it up right now). So, yeah, I am looking forward to this.

With Orville out why do it?

With the entertainment industry these days, maybe they expect Orville to be a big hit and want to jump on that bandwagon.

Biggest problem with that is Alan Rickman is dead and part of the charm of GQ is the ensemble nature. It'd be like making a Trek series today just set after STVI and continuing the Enterprise crew's adventures; with Nimoy, Kelly and Dothan dead there's no way it'd work.

The only way it could possibly work is if it was about a hypothetical GQ:TNG cast.

That's an interesting idea.
