I've said this on the other side of the board, the show gives me enough laughs, that I come back each week. I also like the most of the main cast, model work and music. But much like JJ Abrams and really the whole lot in Hollywood, they're simply living out the fantasy of directing movies and television shows they loved growing up. And the studios are happy to oblige. There's seems to be no desire, or ability to create an original concept, or at least one that isn't derivative of everything else. Albeit unavoidable, unlike the behavior of a command officer who traipses all willy nilly in primeval grounds, almost as if a Prime Directive wasn't invented right after she committed her promenade. Classic Kelly.

I will be surprised if the character of Bortus doesn't get at least one good laugh out of you this season, Kev. I just finished it and can't wait for season 2! I've never been a MacFarlane fan before but I guess I am one now based on this show. I really had my doubts after the first episode or two, but now I'm a believer. I'd still love to have a new original sci-fi show like Babylon 5 or Firefly or Farscape (The Expanse is excellent but there is very little fun to be had, and it's based on a book series so not sure it quite counts), but this'll do just fine to scratch my nostalgic Star Trek itch for the time being.

Filming for the second season begins in February. Too bad we'll probably have to wait until September or October to hear more new scoring. Unless who ever scored the last episode that was shuffled to the second season, puts a cue or two up.

You guys know, don't you, that our own Jeff Bond has a book about The Orville coming out soon: http://amzn.to/2AUHiC5 The World of The Orville "this lavish companion to The Orville takes you behind the scenes through concept art, on-set photography and technical schematics to explore the show’s production design, costumes, makeup prosthetics and visual effects."

Jeff Bond's written a book about The Orville and no mention of him writing on the MUSIC?!! Hopefully (probably?) he has and it just isn't mentioned in the blurb... Yavar

Season two has started filming today. Two new people have joined on as cast members, and writer/story editor from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Voyager", Joe Menosky, has joined the show. https://trekmovie.com/2018/02/26/the-orville-season-2-production-starts-star-trek-writer-joe-menosky-joins/ As I posted elsewhere: I'm in the middle ground with Menosky. On the one hand he did "Darmok". On the other he did "The Chase" (one of the worst episodes of TNG), as well as other mediocre episodes. On Voyager he wrote episodes like "Timeless" and "The Thaw" (the second features what I think is a very TOS idea for an ending), but then he wrote episodes like "The Gift" and "The Killing Game". Seems he waste more good ideas on Voyager than that show deserved.

Debney's profile page at Kraft-Engel Management has a cue to listen to: http://kraft-engel.com/clients/john-debney/ It's only 1:50 long though. Great find, and a very nice cue it is! And I noticed a nice instrumental suite from THE GREATEST SHOWMAN on the same page.
