Discuss The Orville

I'm assuming so since it's October and there's NOTHING promoting it. Is it because of the attack MacFarlene made on Fox? What is it they say? Don't bite the hand which feeds you. A shame. This was a good show and I was enjoying it. Better than anything Star Trek related which Paramount has TRIED making which is SUPPOSED to be Star Trek in the last decade. Sorry, but the "new" Star Trek they're trying to pass off which doesn't even TRY to follow the original timeline just SUCKS. That is just NOT Trek. I even tried watching the ONE episode they aired on CBS. I had no idea the lizards are SUPPOSED to be Klingons. HORRIBLE!!!

This was at least something I could get behind.

It was actually picked up for a second season, rather early on. And apparently whatever MacFarlane did, wasn't as bad as Roseanne, so it's still listed as returning. But not until December, which was pretty dumb of them.

By the way, have you been following Babylon 5 on the Comet channel?

I haven't heard what he did, but Seth MacFarlane isn't just an actor on The Orville, he's also the show creator/producer/head writer... Which is why I made the Roseanne comparison.

Sigh.

Lefties.

You have no 1st amendment right to say whatever you like at/for/about your employer without getting fired. "Freedom of association" is a right too, and your employer also has it, not just you. The 1st amendment basically only applies to the GOVERNMENT and not putting you in jail for what you say. (But what you DO is also a different matter even there, which is why people don't have a 1st amendment right to overrun barricades, damage buildings, assault and otherwise threaten senators and court nominees and their families, etc.)

Don't you know anything?

Battery is actual harm. Assault can be just threatening.

There's a reason why there are two words: assault, and battery.

Assault | Define Assault at Dictionary.com

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/assault

a sudden, violent attack; onslaught: an assault on tradition. Law. an unlawful physical attack upon another; an attempt or offer to do violence to another, with or without battery, as by holding a stone or club in a threatening manner. Military. the stage of close combat in an attack.

And the constitutional right is to PEACEFULLY assemble for redress of grievance. A mob is something else.

You can look at those videos and say "those mobs didn't really assault anyone" and then on the other side you're certain without any evidence or corroboration that Brett Kavanaugh is guilty of rape or attempted rape. (Which, even if it were true, would not have resulted n any drastic penalty because they were both minors at the time.)

I'd ask "what color is the sky in your world?" but I don't really care.

However, if there is justice in the world, you'll be falsely accused of something without evidence and immediately carted off to jail, VOLUNTARILY because those are YOUR standards, and we won't have to deal with you any more.

Oh wow, OK, um, I'm really sorry. It was not my intent to start a political war here. I made my question/comment because of what happened to Roseanne. I was guessing/assuming the same had happened to The Orville/MacFarlene for the same reason. He attacked the Fox Channel/Network, and so that was why I asked if The Orville had been cancelled. I don't agree with what Roseanne said, but cancelling her show was wrong, and if that had happened to The Orville too, again that is wrong. Sanction the actor/actress, fine, but don't punish the fans for something the actor/actress said.

Anyway, if indeed The Orville has been picked up and will return at the end of December, then awesome. I hope that my DVR records it as I won't be able to watch when it airs. But if it has been cancelled, that is a shame.

As to B5 on some channel called Comet? I've never heard of the channel. Is it available on DirecTV? If not, then I have no way of viewing it.

Anyway, thank you for answering my question.

When the OP said the attack he made on FOX the assumption was made that he'd said something on that channel about someone or something.

But apparently he must have attacked the FOX CHANNEL itself for the way they've become the TRUMP channel (due to the way they constantly BROWN NOSE HIM and agree with nearly everything that he has to say)???

Unfortunately you seem to have missed my meaning regarding my comment about "...the attack MacFarlene made on Fox..." I was not implying that he was on the Fox channel making a comment. I was stating that he attacked Fox. My phrasing was correct. Just thought I'd point that out. Thanks.

You can look at those videos

Look at what VIDEOS???

The ones where the RIGHT WING MOBS keep SHOUTING "LOCK HER UP" when the WOMEN they're talking about haven't even done anything ILLEGAL???

This is OBVIOUSLY a case of PROJECTION where the BRAINWASHED MOBS who WORSHIP the SCAM MAN accuse others of being the way that they are themselves.

As you may recall, the SCAM MAN himself also BRAGS about how he could SHOOT someone on 5TH AVENUE and get away with it.

And he also told his MOB that if they PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED someone who was there to PROTEST what he was saying he would PAY for their LEGAL EXPENSES.

Then when one of them DID ASSAULT and PUNCHED someone, of course he refused to do so, just like he said he'd PAY ONE MILLION BUCKS to SENATOR WARREN if a DNA TEST proved she had NATIVE AMERICAN BLOOD and now REFUSES to do so (even though we've also got him ON VIDEO saying so).

The HYPOCRACY here is CLEAR for all to see.

The TRUTH is this:

THE MOBS of the RIGHT WING NUT JOBS accuse others who oppose them politically of being what they are THEMSELVES.

you're certain without any evidence or corroboration that Brett Kavanaugh is guilty of rape or attempted rape. (Which, even if it were true, would not have resulted n any drastic penalty because they were both minors at the time.)

CORRECTION:

There was PLENTY of EVIDENCE and CORROBORATION.

Just because YOU and other RIGHT WINGERS choose to IGNORE it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The woman who said he tried to RAPE her testified UNDER OATH before CONGRESS in a HEARING.

She also took a LIE DETECTOR TEST that proved she was telling THE TRUTH about him.

And still another woman also TESTIFIED that she was GANG RAPED at one of the PARTIES that the RAPIST kept going to

which is also BACKED UP by what he said about himself in his YEAR BOOK

where he also BRAGS about the DEVIL'S TRIANGLE (a SEXUAL ACT) …

and about SEXUALLY ABUSING another female that he and his other RAPIST friends joked about screwing.

His College ROOMMATE also confirmed how the RAPIST was a HOPELESS DRUNK, and the RAPIST himself also BRAGS in another letter he wrote about another PUKE PARTY they were planning on having.

Why do you think a POLL shows that MOST PEOPLE in this country DON'T WANT him on the court???

even if it were true, would not have resulted n any drastic penalty because they were both minors at the time

What is the Age of Consent in Maryland? | The Law Offices …

https://www.maronicklaw.com/blog/2018/march/what-is-the-age-of...

Nationwide, the age of consent for sexual activity ranges from 16 to 18. In Maryland, the age of consent is 16 years old. Obviously, this means that individuals aged 15 or younger in Maryland are not legally able to consent to sexual activity

WTF are you talking about???

He was 17 (Legally the age of CONSTENT). She was 15.

Are you suggesting that because she was a MINOR at the time his RAPING her doesn'T COUNT???

FYI, the RAPE of a MINOR is the WORSE kind of RAPE.

That's also the reason why they call it SATUTORY RAPE.

Which means even IF the MINOR CHILD consents to have sex it would still also be RAPE due to the way a MINOR isn't LEGALLY OLD enough to CONSENT.

So, ON THE CONTRARY to the FALSE CLAIM that you've put forth, the RAPE of MINOR CHILD is an EVEN WORSE CRIME than the RAPE of another ADULT.

Where the hell did you ever get the IDEA it's OK to RAPE CHILDREN???

Honestly KNIX, the things you say are so CLUELESS that all one can do is feel sorry for you.

Try watching MSNBC instead of that other PROPAGANDA channel (where they also backed and supported that other CHILD RAPIST from GEORGIA when he ran for office).

Because the constant stream of PROPAGANDA they feed you is WARPING you ability to think RATIONALLY.

I'd ask "what color is the sky in your world?" but I don't really care.

The COLOR of my SKY is TRUE BLUE and is based upon TRUTH and RATIONALITY.

The color of your SKY is RED (the same COLOR that is represented by SATAN the father of LIES), and is based upon LIES and IRRATIONALITY.

And isn't I REALLY DON'T CARE also the same MOTTO that we saw THE SLUTTY FIRST LADY wearing on the BACK of the JACKET that she wore???

The SLUTTY FIRST LADY who also POSED for several PORNOGRAPHIC PHOTOS where she's seen having 3 WAY SEX with 2 other people???

That's also another case of the DEVIL's TRIANGLE for you.

Honestly KNIX, your IRRATIONAL WORSHIP of these people that you ADORE is ROTTING you're brain and it's ability to see things CLEARLY.

To look at it from a B5 perspective …

we VORLONS will still be here for you IF and WHENEVER it is that you finally SNAP OUT of it, come out of the SHADOWS, and can SEE THE LIGHT.

wink

Oh, I get it. You don't realize that I'm Sheridan saying that I don't need EITHER of you.

Comet is mostly a local broadcast channel, in the US. It's carried locally by some cable systems, but I don't think nationally by DirecTV or Dish. If you can't find a local affiliate at comettv.com you can watch their lineup streaming on their site. But apparently only the eastern time zone version. So the 9pm Eastern time for B5 might be 6pm for you if you're in the pacific time zone.

They're mostly through season 1 now.

Anyway, Roseanne didn't attack ABC.

I never said Roseanne did attack ABC. My point is that ABC reacted in a way they shouldn't and let their political views determine what was to happen with a show because of something the actor said. If every network did that to every actor who said something, there wouldn't be anything on T.V. at all. The networks need to stop having knee-jerk reactions on things because of their personal views. If they no longer like a particular show they're sponsoring, fine, that's one thing, but to dump the actor or actress because of something they said to someone else, that needs to stop. Was Roseanne wrong to say what she said? Yeah, but she should never have been fired and have her show cancelled by ABC because of it.

Anyway, please try to stop misreading what I write/make assumptions about things I HAVEN'T written.

My point was that, if anything, Fox would have MORE reason to cancel MacFarlane's show if he had attacked THEM, rather than just saying something they didn't like for political reasons.
