Finally got to see the first episode - not a bad story, some of the special effects were a little cheesy IMO
New New York looked way to fake to me (just don't see Lady Liberty & Brooklyn Bridge looking that good in 450 years) they should have just stuck with a lesser known earth town, or even gone with a moon city.
Lets hope it makes it a few season

Re: The Orville
It gets much stronger after the first ep. By the most recent, the whole chemistry seems to fall into place really nicely.

Re: The Orville
Definitely gets better with each subsequent episode. And dammit, more models to build

Re: The Orville
I know, right? That ship actually is really beautiful, I find. I wouldn't mind having a 537 scale model of it (or 1400, if it's about the same size as 1701-E).el gato wrote:And dammit, more models to build

I mean, come on, she really is a beaut (and I'll bet she'd be fun to light, too):

Hopefully not too long to wait from Fantastic Plastic. And yes, in 1/1400 https://fantastic-plastic.com/orville_model.html

I haven't found any stats on the ship yet regarding size etc.

Re: The Orville
So at 1/1400 that would make the "real" ship a tad over 1,100 foot long. Roughly Refit E size then.
Is it just me or does it have a bit of a Blue Star look about it?

Re: The Orville
Someone on Twitter recently remarked it looks like someone mashed-up Voyager's front end with a B5 ship's back end.

Re: The Orville
To me the front end is more reminiscent of the Protector from Galaxy Quest
