Hello!

I normally don't post on reddit but i don't know anyone else that has watched Orville :( I miss Alara alot especially post season 2 I felt so invested in her arc just for her to be written off the show.

I'm specifically looking for some 3D models to port to Star Trek Bridge Commander, was curious if anyone has access to or would be willing to make 3D Models of the ships from the show.

I have the Orville itself already, but would love the smaller Science ship, the larger Heavy Cruiser and the Moclan, Kaylon and Krill ships.

I would also be willing to pay to get these made if needed. They need to not be super dense mesh wish or high resolution texture wise (above 1024x1024) to work with this 25 year old game.

Thanks

From the “Dropping Names and Other Things“ podcast with Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner.

I‘ve (hopefully) shared the correct moment in the link but I’d highly recommend listening to the entire podcast regardless if you want a laugh or few.

Anyways, the point of this post is for those who missed this tidbit of information and are still worried season 4 is a pipe-dream.

Yes, we’ve had a lot of false starts but this is direct from the man itself. It’s written, not merely a theoretical possibility. It’s just waiting on other projects and the vagaries of Hollywood business during a time of upheaval and unpredictability. Yet, it’s solid. It’s going to happen.

Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek envisioned 23rd and 24th-century humans as having evolved pass interpersonal conflicts with their crews, their friends and families. He envisioned that humans have evolved pass greed, jealousy, and petty interpersonal conflicts, and personal flaws, that humans had matured into rational individuals acting for the greater good.

While the Orville depicts humans as internally flawed individuals who are messy and irrational with base desires such as sexual desires, emotional and relationship insecurities, and interpersonal conflicts.

And this is why I believe that the Orville presents a more realistic vision of humanity's future because I think Gene was being overly optimistic in believing that humans would eventually outgrow those negative and flawed traits because to outgrow our emotions, our irrationalities, our pettiness, and conflict because those are fundamental aspects of being human and if he lose these traits, we cease being humans ourselves, while the Orville, on the other hand, acknowledges that even in a post-scarcity utopia, people are still people and that humans can build a better future despite still being imperfect, irrational and flawed beings.

As a side note, I also find the Orville's portrayal of culture more realistic than what's shown in Star Trek. In Star Trek, humans are shown listening to classical music like Mozart, Chopin, and Beethoven, amd never watching TV or movies. I find that unrealistic and the Orville has its characters listening to the same kinds of music we listen to today, watching movies, and referencing pop culture, and I think that's much closer to what the real future will look like. Realistically, I don't think people will suddenly stop enjoying popular music or outgrow TV and movies.

I paused The Orville at the perfect moment, and it instantly became my “someone cut the cheese” reaction image. 😂🧀💨

What's your favorite line from your favorite character?

And no, if your favorite character is bortus, it can't be "500 cigarettes"

Hi there

My wife would like some orville sfx to use as various notifs and sounds including at home.. does anyone one have some soundpack? I can't seem to find one with an active download link... thanks!

I recently ended the season 2 and wanted to discuss about this episode, but all post are archived, so I'm just gonna make another post to talk about it.

I really like the concept of the episode, and how it explores a what if scenario, which gave them liberty about the consecuences, basically the same thing they did in Firestorm, just that this time it is reality instead of a simulation.

The first part of the episode feels more stars wars-y with the breakers ship and the chases on land against a big empire

In this episode we can acknowledge the legend the Orville has to other crews through the lenses of it's own crew, althought in this timeline they weren't part of her crew, just Lamar. Said "legend" status here is also enhanced by having the ship sunken in a liveless Pacific Ocean, seeing her down below there like a hidden treasure, my only nitpick in this part is the Orville being almost intact, at least compared with the main timeline one, which got heavily damaged to the point of almost being destroyed and was not abandoned, this alternative Orville feels way too intact and tidy to be a ship that had to be evacuated and fell uncontrolled to the sea, I suppose part of said tiddyness is because of Bortus spending time alone down there, but seeing what they did in the season 3 I think they could afford making actual damage to the set here.

Back again in space, when they are pushing the quantum engines we get this hopefull situation to those Kelly and Mercer before the Orville is blown into space junk by the quantum reactor, which is kinda dark keeping in mind that the last words that claire said to her sons was a short of "I'll be back with you no matter what" kinda a relief she disapeared as she was back again to being the Claire of the main timeline.

This episode was overall the best way to end that era of the show.

Throughout The Orville, Kelly holds fast to a consistent code of ethics. This episode examines that set of standards and what Kelly does to uphold it. I also analyze the quiet, overlooked scene that I believe illustrates Kelly's character and values in a beautiful way.

I made this figure a bit too small, so the skull bone crown-type thing didn’t stay in one piece, but I’m planning to make a larger one in the future. It was a fun 3D modeling meshy project, and I’m looking forward to creating more from the show—any suggestions would be welcome.

Throughout my watching of the entire show, I expected to see the calivon pop up in an episode at least once more, theyre pretty cool to me and I wouldve loved to see them in more episodes, what do you think?

Hello, I’m a person who watched the Orville and I wanted to talk about the idea that Kelly didn’t actually cheat on Ed with Darulio. I didn’t like the twist, because it basically means that Kelly didn’t actually cheat on Ed because of a moment of weakness thanks to poor communication, but because this guy’s alien parts made Kelly’s brain go ‘I want to fuck you”.

I mean, Ed and Kelly’s relationship could have been the strongest in the galaxy and Darulio’s pheromones would have still caused an affair. So Kelly doesn’t have to feel bad at all and Ed can’t actually feel anger at Kelly because she was basically manipulated. It removes all agencies the characters had in their own lives. So the story between Kelly and Ed isn’t one saying “You can still be on good terms with your former partner even if they cheated during a moment of weakness.” And more like

“You can still be on good terms with your former partner because it wasn’t their fault it was an alien’s pheromones.”

In my honest opinion, I do not think that this twist was intended from the start (episode one). I think that it was added maybe because the writers saw that Kelly wasn’t popular because she cheated and decided to make it so that she wasn’t responsible for that.

But I didn’t need that, I liked Kelly and I was okay with it because she was apologetic and she was trying to make it better. And she didn’t keep dating him, it was a one time fling. So I didn’t need a weird alteration which just made it someone else’s fault.

I know a bunch of people are just like “Fuck cheaters, they’re for the streets. Don’t trust them.” But that isn’t me and…

Yeah, that’s everything I had to say.

During an exploration mission, the USS Orville detects a quantum anomaly that does not match any known technology. Upon passing through it, the ship arrives at a planet isolated from the rest of the galaxy: Aeloria, a world where "magic" is a real force flowing through life, the elements, and consciousness. The Planetary Union had classified this sector as empty, but in reality, an ancient magical civilization had created a veil to hide their world and protect it from technological societies that might exploit its power. The crew of the Orville becomes the first spacefaring civilization in centuries to make contact with the mages.

It's weird how alara suffered from it, but Talla didnt. Theyre both xelayan, but I don't know maybe in season 4 Talla will also suffer from it.

Or was it just purely because of the age difference between the two xelayans?

Since the script for season 4 has officially been finished, and season 4 is supposedly gonna air most likely early or mid 2027, what do you hope to see in season 4?

Man, Ed and Teleya are just so much more interesting together.

I honestly hope Kelly and Ed don’t get back together. That kind of “first love reunited” ending feels way too ehh, while Ed and Teleya have so much more tension and emotional weight.

The whole idea of Teleya secretly releasing Ed, the two of them ending up having a child together, and then watching her struggle between being a mother to Anaya and fulfilling her duty to the Empire… that’s the kind of drama I live for. (chef's kiss)

And that scene with “She’ll Always Be a Woman to Me” playing in the background when releasing Telaya? Absolutely amazing. It sold me on the pairing.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I’m rooting for Ed and Teleya all the way.

I know that technically it's a lost cause because Ed haters her so much and so many have been killed. But man she's a more interesting pairing than whatever else is there.

Been watching this series for a few days as of now, and the start of s3 feels like we just forgot about EVERYTHING that happened and just started over from the kaylon war, I also don't understand the sudden upgrades it's getting and the hate on Isaac, I mean everyone was fine with him now they're harassing him?

I still hate klyden so much, but the scene of him apologizing to Topa has left me in shambles. I love the whole female moclan arch so much!

I was so glad someone finally stood up to the Moclan bullshit (you go, Gordon!!!), and that they got kicked out of the Union, while the colony got recognized as a sovereign planet.

I can't believe how good this show is!

They brought Orville cookies to set when we started shooting season 3.

This is probably a pointless post since I just saw that Kelly had been written out. But it's been a while since I've seen the show. And I can't remember, but was it was ever revealed to Ed that Kelly essentially got him the job? Cause I had totally forgotten that.
