The Orville, was okay, imo it's just a campy version of Star Trek TNG, I usually DVR'd it and watched it whenever, I'm not going to sub to Hulu for it, But I am able to get Canadian TV channels

so I could watch it on CityTV, as I understand it's just in the USA that the show is being transferred to Hulu. and international viewing remains unchanged.

 

I'm just waiting for season 4 of The Expanse, I already have Prime, so the move from Syfy to Prime was no big deal for me, even better, well besides the fact that amazon saved the show.

But to me The Orville is not worth buying a Hulu sub even for $5 per month.

It is cancelled https://www.thecinemaspot.com/2020/08/01/exclusive-the-orville-canceled-after-third-season-at-hulu/ :( 

 

This bit is interesting:

We probably would not have even gotten a third season if it wasn’t for an international deal that Disney needed to complete (which included a third season of The Orville).

Well that’s a shame, I felt season 2 was where it found itself. A TNG feeling but with staff who were a bit more like “me and my mates would be”.  The stories became a lot more compelling, a lot more relevant and the characters grew.

From that same article:

, I am not aware of Hulu being in talks with any other streaming services or networks about moving the show elsewhere.

 

I'm fairly sure Hulu/Disney don't actually own the show IP itself, MacFarlane does, so it really doesn't matter if Hulu have been in any talks to move it elsewhere or not as it's not their show...

If Disney/Hulu with all the money and deep pockets they have didn't want to keep the show around, why would some other network bother to pick it up?  I think the chances are slim unless there's a huge fan movement to keep it going, I just don't see that happening though.

The first mistake is trying to understand TV series cancellations and renewals, no-one does ;)

Well this sucks, though on the bright side they haven't finished (afaik) Season 3 production.  Maybe they can end the series wrapped in a nice little bow vs. some cliffhanger.  

 

Went ahead and changed the topic title and removed the "Cancelled" since Season 3 is still coming.

Sad to see it go, but also a little humored all DSC/PIC/etc... haters will have to find some other show to tout as “real trek” now. 

Maybe they'll finally understand that their version of trek doesn't work anymore?  I don't know what else to say really.   Who knows what else was at play here but i honestly don't think higher costs of scifi shows in general had a hand to play in this decision.

MUCH better and improved visual effects. Cinematic quality right  there. The Orville is finally getting pounded hard. Love it. This is going to be one good season. I love this show. I hope Hulu keeps this baby for a long time to come.

I agree, it looks a lot better.

 

Isaac looks like he's either going to kill the kids or save them, not sure which, but I'm all in for S3.

Pretty sure that was a nightmare sequence, but it looked fantastic!  Really looking forwards to it, but kinda ###### that we have to wait until June!

McFarlane's online note said they had a lot of trouble with CoVid-19; general staffing, actor Norm Macdonald (voiced Yaphit) passed away. etc., so it really isn't a surprise it took forever.

Losing an actor is hard, but re Covid, plenty of other shows had the same barrier yet managed to not take nearly 3 years for the next season...

Details are being kept under wraps, but the show seems to be taking a page from Star Trek: Discovery and sending the ship and its crew far into the future. Per the official premise, "Set 400 years in the future, The Orville: New Horizons finds the crew of the USS Orville continuing their mission of exploration, as they navigate both the mysteries of the universe and the complexities of their own interpersonal relationships."

Uh, I think they misunderstood something kinda basic here... The original premise of The Orville is that it's set 400 years from NOW....  I very much doubt they've jumped another 400 years with time travel...

I was thinking the same thing.  But calling the season "New Horizons" is a little odd in itself.

I think that's mostly the network change, but it's also post war breaking out so....

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
