I hope this series kicks ass.
Along with the reboot of Lost In Space for Netflix, high budget SciFi could make a very welcome comeback. |

Me too...I think it'll be funnier for star trek type fans or this type of genre.

This looks pretty good. Really liked Galaxy Quest, hope Orville is at least as good or better.

Toby Stephens from Black Sails plays John Robinson but in a twist (of course, because everything has to have gender flipping these days), Parker Posey plays Dr. Smith.
Personally, I think she's a great choice because she plays the conniving, condescending bitch so well. From my understanding, this version will remain dark, like the original season and not be all "campy" like the following seasons of the 60's series. So we won't see a dopey Dr. Smith and silly interactions with Will and the Robot. Hopefully, it works. |

Looks pretty good to me. And I'm not much of a McFarlane fan.

Ehhh. Not impressed with the trailer. I like MacFarlane's stuff. I like Star Trek. But this looks weird. Trailer didn't really do anything for me.

It's getting hammered by reviewers.
First off, it's supposedly not a comedy, despite the first trailers. It's serious, with "Bro Humor" thrown in as an afterthought. It's basically a homage to Star Trek but it's also a homage to The Twilight Zone (?). Every review I've read said that the VFX and sets are phenomenal but the show just doesn't know what it wasn't be and that it's very confusing. We'll know soon enough. |
