Promo for the new episode this Thursday:

Yet another just quite awful promo; this one doesn't even tell you what the episode s about! It's like random scenes cut together.

This is just a sensational album from beginning to end

"Deflectors"
By: Andrew Cottee

FOX.com official link: https://www.fox.com/watch/7db5869b7b83b79c18a3e4d4be3db8ef/

Highlights:
  • 10:46 in.
  • 20:46 in.
  • 30:10 in. I know it's ten seconds and simple, but I like it. There are some similar short bits that could be edited together as a short cue.
  • 38:29 in.
  • 39:32 in.
  • 44:44 in.

    Another good episode with re-watch value and no happy ending.

    The Orville has a crew compliment of 300.

    Watching the action sequence in Engineering, I think Seth unintentionally did something: Showed Yaphit is actually really really smart; he can press all those buttons and not even see what he is pressing. Either that of he can see through all his Jell-O skin.

    So, is that weapons room door not going to close?

    Yaphit can see throughout all of his skin.

    In the one episode when Gordon and John put a piece of him in the buffet and Bortus ate him, Yaphit described being in a dark place, which turned out to be Bortus' colon.

    This week's episode was okay but it's starting to feel like variations on a theme with the Moclans. And the script needed another pass. It took over fifteen minutes for the actual plot to start (although at least the extraneous action sequence gave Cottee a chance to pull out some heroics).

    It sounds like the upcoming two-parter will be a beast so the composer (McNeely, I think) will get a chance to write something other than transitional cues.

    "Deflectors"
    By: Andrew Cottee

    ...

    So, is that weapons room door not going to close?



    This seems to be an on-going problem aboard the Orville; the same thing happened on last week's "A Happy Refrain" (41:46–44:00):

    While Isaac is performing a self-diagnostic, Ed convinces him to give the relationship a chance and apologize to Claire. There is an off-screen "woosh" sound effect at the start of the scene, so we can assume the door was initially closed prior to Ed's entrance. When Ed leaves, there is another off-screen "woosh" sound effect -- what we assume is the door closing behind him...

    ...but the door remains open for the entirety of their 2 minute conversation (!).

    This week's episode was everything I hoped for, easily the best episode of the series so far. And John Debney's score was a knockout.

    I just got my copy of Season One and listened to the first disc tonight. I certainly heard echos of Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner in some of it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also thought the score for tonight's episode was outstanding.

    "Danger Motif" sighted in the new episode!

    This storyline was obvious due to Issac's superiority complex throughout the show. MacFarlane already has his Klingons, might as well have his Borg and assimilate them too. What I question is the Union allowing a sentient, which they know nothing about, operational status aboard one of their flagships. That there Union ain't so smart, is they?

    I watched this tonight. This time I heard Goldsmith's Alien and Horner's infamous "danger motif". Very strange.

    Little OT: I like the general design of the Orville spaceship but could it have a worst place for a shuttle bay? Every time they launch I'm thinking please don't crash into one of those warp drive appendages when exiting!

    Thought this last episode was fantastic and some of the best music Debney has composed for the show!

    What a fantastic scene and cue!! This score has become one of my absolute favorites television scores, period. Much has been made about the constant Horner and Goldsmith references, but I for one LOVE them! For me, music like this brings back memories of watching the original Trek films, so the references take me back to a happier time! When Horner and Goldsmith passed, I was truly saddened to think that that type of scoring was gone forever. The Orville gladly says otherwise!

    That final cue reminded me very much of Independence Day.

    Entire last 8-10 minutes of the episode are just fantastic and Debney again got an opportunity to shine unlike any of his films in AGES. And episode was one of my favs from the entire season as well...

    "Identity: Part1"
    By: John Debney

    Official FOX.com link: https://www.fox.com/watch/71ae5dad5806860328d65f4ec4cd4a49/
    https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72tjg8 (slight sped up, cropped and reduced quality load for those region-restricted)

    Highlights:
  • 353 in. It's short, but I like it.
  • 6:30 in.
  • About 8:17 in. Joining a cue already in progress. Horner danger motif spotted!
  • 10:31 in.
  • 15:00 in. Blaster bream heard.
  • 29:26 in.
  • 31:41 in.
  • 35:55 in.
  • 42:07 in.

    The shows takes place 400 years in the future. So, mothers are still hooking up stereos? There are still stereos that require hooking up? there are wires to hook up? People still listen to music through devices like that (not counting people who like old-fashioned stuff)?

    How could Isaac say he has a home world where he belongs? The leader stated Isaac would be disassembled; Isaac has no "home", because he would not be around to experience it.

    So...
    Why is a super advanced "race" is robots starting with Earth? The should approach it like anything else, methodical and in a logical way, not a planet which Gordon himself noted they were a "long way from home" from.

    I figured with all the 80s references, this future and its hyper-warp-particle-tachyon-whatever drives are powered by pure, uncut, liquid nostalgia.

  • How could Isaac say he has a home world where he belongs? The leader stated Isaac would be disassembled; Isaac has no "home", because he would not be around to experience it.

    Home is where the assimilation is.

    Well... y'see... the thing is... embarrassment

    ... but that shuttle bay placement tho, right??
