In a 2017 Reddit AMA, MacFarlane noted that he chose the Orville name while writing the pilot episode and reading a biography of the Wright brothers, in which "there seemed to be some depiction of Orville as the 'beta' brother. Seemed like a good fit for our midlevel craft."

Unironically, The Orville is one of the best Star Trek inspired series out there. The authenticity it exudes was actually a surprise.

The Orville Season 3

every time i see republicans ai generating videos about how great their candidates are or how bad their opponents are i think about how The Orville ran an episode like 3 years ago where political candidates were generating entirely untrue videos of their opponents being horrible people as propaganda

The Orville ist sehr empfehlenswert! Kommt erst als Star Trek Satire daher, greift dann aber tiefer in die Ethik-Kiste, als Star Trek es bisher gewagt hat.

I’m begging y’all to watch The Orville, the modern show most true to this Star Trek formula

ah, the Orville episode where they visit Planet Reddit

Menagerie! They're doing a menagerie! (I started watching The Orville)

saw The Orville mentioned and that reminded me I wanted to watch it. But then it's like ... subscribe to Disney+ so you can subscribe to Hulu so you can watch Orville

Also me:

Watching the first episode of Orville, this show is cool :o I like how they decided to use shuttles instead of transporter beams

Makes things riskier

finished a good tv show and i WONT get despondent like i usually do after a finale i PROMISE i'll be NORMAL

(it was the Orville. it was well-meaning but often painful to begin with and got steadily better and better until it was really good Star Trek. huge respect to that show)

The Orville S3 E7 *From Unknown Graves*

Absolutely must-watch episode about empathy, desensitization to the plight of others, and the possibilities of compassion & change.

In my 5 week mission to rediscover old episodes and old plots, I find the Orville storyline that has aged so well that it’s genuinely disturbing.

“Somewhere out there, this crew’s debating the prime directive... over karaoke night.” Promotional image for The Orville, showing the bridge crew standing together in a bright, futuristic corridor with a window revealing the stars beyond. Each wears a color-coded uniform—red for security, blue for command, green for science—while the ship’s gleaming walls echo the hopeful tone of 1990s-era science fiction. The logo “THE ORVILLE” spans across the image in silver text.

Quite enjoying watching The Orville. Dismissed it when it was in first run - wasn't in the mood for it - and am I glad I waited.

Time has shown it's a very good SF series that's an obvious homage to all the Trek. But. What I didn't really expec... https://universeodon.com/@bgrier/115517486712108839

10. The Orville
My favorite episode of the show is Season 1 Episode 7, it shows a world exactly like ours, although the premise of the episode makes the conflict more obvious. It shows what is needed to get to a Solarpunk future, in a world where everyone is right.

Ok this is the one I thought was "Galaxy Quest" related !

Can't believe we only have 1 episode of The Orville left to watch 😞 I've been *completely* sold on this awesome show over the past few weeks. I am preemptively mourning it.

Decided to rewatch The Orville as a TV cleanser. Still so good.
