Some thoughts on TROS from an actor/(amateur) writers perspective:

-  fuck rose’s entire character and story arc I guess???  I hated her being into finn just as much as the next person but completely ignoring that it happened???  utter shit.  It could’ve literally been a small scene where Rose said something like “hey sorry about what happened at Crate, I shouldn’t have done that.”  and Finn could’ve been like “uhhh no prob.”  and her bein like “I’m over it now, so you don’t have to worry about me being all weird.”  boom plot hole solved

-  Props to all the actors for doing the best with a whack-ass script.  

-  Oscar Isaac said “Fuck Disney, Poe’s gay for Finn.”  and I AM HERE FOR IT!!

-  Rey bein a motherfucking BADASS the whole fucking time was amazing!!

-  I fucking loved Kylo Ren’s transition to Ben Solo, Adam Driver is an amazing actor

-  on that note, the actors’ backs must fucking hurt from having to carry the entire movie on their talent and instincts.  It takes expert craftsmanship to create such beautiful, truthful character arcs out of a shaky script and directors/writers that were not focused on their characters and crafting.  

-  I’ve never been a huge Reylo person until that last scene, but goddamn some good ass moments came out of it.  Daisy and Adam fucking nailed the chemistry.  I was literally sitting there thinking “Oh my God, do it.  Fucking kiss!”

- honestly the last 2 movies (TLJ and TROS) have favored visual spectacle and nostalgia over a solid plot.    

- WHERE THE FUCK DID PALPATINE COME FROM????  HE WAS LITERALLY YEETED SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET DOWN A PIPE WITH HIS OWN POWER KILLING HIM????  ARE WE TO BELEIVE THAT THE SITH LITERALLY CAN’T DIE UNTIL A SUC

-  I (along with I think a lot of ppl) was sure that Rey was Luke’s daughter.  Now you’re telling me that ugly, dusty, crusty lookin Palpatine had sexual intercourse with someone??

- BEN SOLO DID NOT FUCKING DESERVE TO BE KILLED OFF AFTER SACRIFICING EVERYTHING AND LITERALLY SAVING THE RESISTANCE.  FUCK.  It feels like the only reason they did that is because Darth Vader laid down his life, so they had to play in to nostalgia.  Fuck. That. Shit.  In my opinion it would’ve been a much better story to show contrast in generations, Ben Solo should’ve lived.  Rey fucking deserved to be happy.  It would’ve been interesting to see a Jedi not be melancholy as FUCK because someone they care for deeply has been ripped away from them too soon.

-  Where did the Force Energy healing come from??? doesn’t match up at all with the other 6 fucking movies.  I liked it as a plot device for this movie and it seems plausible for Star Wars logic, but I hate that all this shit got added as a cheap plot device.  It seems like they forgot this was part of a 9 part series and were like “fuck it we’re creating new stuff The Force can do.”  Although you could maybe argue that Rey and Ben’s amount of power is unprecedented because of the dyad.  

-  Speaking of, SO IT WASN’T SNOKE CONNECTING THEM, IT WAS AN EXTREMELY RARE, POWER BOND BETWEEN SOULS???  ONE MIGHT EVEN SAY THAT THEY WERE SOULMATES????  IF THE BOND WAS SO FUCKING STRONG SHOULDN’T IT HAVE KILLED BOTH OF THEM???  WHY SHOULD BEN GIVING REY SOME OF HIS LIFE FORCE KILL ONLY HIM?  

- Speaking of Snoke, BITCH WHAT THE FUCK????  So was Snoke like a creation of Palpatine?  That he manipulated and spoke thru like a puppet???  I guess that kind of fixes the whole killing him off bullshit.  

-  I’ve said before and I’ll say it again:  It’s obvious that the plot was not a priority.  It’s clear that an overarching narrative between TFA, TLJ, and TROS was not planned.  And with the changing hands over who had creative control, the story changed.  No consistency at all.  

-  Hux is the spy?? bitch wut???

TL;DR:  Ben deserved better.  Fight me.   In terms of plot, it feels like profit was prioritized over art and storytelling.  The cast did the best they could with what they had, but the conflict between the choices they made for their character and the writing of the show was clear.  Visually stunning.  Anything with Badass women kicking ass will get me pumped up.  I wanted so much more for this final movie, but it honestly could’ve been a lot fucking worse too.

In honor of my compulsive need to draw fan art coinciding with @whump-tr0pes‘ incredible book Honor Bound coming out today, I ended up drawing a group photo of the original crew! 🎉 (From left to right the characters are: Finn, Ellis, Gray, Vera, Isaac, and the cinnamon roll Sam). 

I decided to place this a little before the original canon so I could draw Sam as their happy, not yet tortured and sick self :) 

I have ideas to make more portraits in this vein centered around other writers’ characters and stories too, but we’ll see when I find the time to make those a reality. Making this forced me to practice more bodily proportions and interaction between drawn characters, but it did take a while. Not the point though!

tl;dr Athena’s really cool and so is her writing. Here’s some happy characters, now go read about their suffering.

“Captain, I can't seem to stand up.” (for the Eris continuation thread.)

"It's alright, Paris. I've got you," Ed assured him. Ed didn't know if this was Paris's own reaction or if this was because of the sedative Dr. Finn had given him. Perhaps it was his reaction to the sedative. Although, from the way Claire was acting, he wouldn't be surprised if she'd given him a particularly strong sedative. He is, after all, incredibly strong and she wouldn't want him struggling with security.

Ed frowned, but pushed the thoughts from his mind. "We're going to lay down now, alright?" Ed told him, and he carried him to his quarters. "You don't have to stand up. Not until you're able to again." When they got to his quarters, he placed Paris down on the bed, sitting on it next to him, stroking through his hair. "How are you feeling now?"

“I’m not sure, sir.” Paris leaned into Ed’s touch, visibly exhausted even without the dizzying effects of Claire’s chosen sedative. “I keep…slipping in and out of it. I am here then I’m not.” Then there was the matter of what Paris had just done, or not done, if you were inclined to see it from that angle. The gun he’d put in his mouth fully intending to fire, the fact that he had practically been in pieces by the time he got to that point, the reason which had sparked all of this to begin with. His unbelievably gothic art and Claire’s immediate suspicion, the way she’d looked through his private work out of what now seemed like macabre curiousity. He knew what she thought but she had no clue what he was. Not that it mattered really, the results would always be the same. She supported the Kaylon, never even entertained the possibility that they were not all Isaac, or that Isaac had the potential to be like…that…though not at present.

“Captain, I’m sorry for…I’m sorry. Doctor Finn believes I’m a possible danger to you and I can’t say I blame her. Everything I am, everything I will ever be is…” He cut himself off with a low groan. “I understand if you’re angry with me. I understand if you intend to make me pay for my actions. They were inconsiderate and traumatising.”

Meanwhile, Gordon attempts to teach Isaac the art of pulling off a practical joke in the all-new "Pria" episode of THE ORVILLE airing Thursday, Oct. 5 (9:01-10:00 PM ET) on FOX. (ORV-105) (TV-14 D, L, S, V) Cast: Seth MacFarlane as Captain Ed Mercer; Adrianne Palicki as Commander Kelly Grayson; Penny Johnson Jerald as Dr. Claire Finn; Scott Grimes as Lieutenant Gordon Malloy; Peter Macon as Lieutenant Commander Bortus; Halston Sage as Chief Security Officer Alara Kitan; J Lee as Lieutenant John Lamarr; Mark Jackson as Isaac Guest Cast: Charlize Theron as Pria Lavesque, Norm Macdonald as Yaphit, Larry Joe Campbell as Steve Newton, Rachael MacFarlane as Computer Voice (V.O.)

[righthandedleftturn]

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer and creator Seth MacFarlane (FAMILY GUY, “Ted”) and directed by Jon Favreau (“The Jungle Book,” “Iron Man”), THE ORVILLE is a one-hour science fiction series set 400 years in the future that follows the adventures of the U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory vessel. Its crew, both human and alien, faces the wonders and dangers of outer space, while also dealing with the familiar, often humorous problems of regular people in a workplace…even though some of those people are from other planets, and the workplace is a faster-than-light spaceship. In the 25th century, Earth is part of the Planetary Union, a far-reaching, advanced and mostly peaceful civilization with a fleet of 3,000 ships. Down on his luck after a bitter divorce, Planetary Union officer ED MERCER (MacFarlane) finally gets his chance to command one of these ships: the U.S.S. Orville. Determined to prove his worth and write a new chapter in his life, Ed finds that task all the more difficult when the First Officer assigned to his ship is his ex-wife, KELLY GRAYSON (Adrianne Palicki, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Friday Night Lights”). As the new commander, Ed assembles a qualified, but eccentric crew, including his best friend, GORDON MALLOY (Scott Grimes, “ER,” “Justified”), who has problems with authority, but is the best helmsman in the fleet; DR. CLAIRE FINN (Penny Johnson Jerald, “24,” “The Larry Sanders Show”), one of the Union’s most accomplished physicians; BORTUS (Peter Macon, “Shameless,” “Bosch”), an alien from a single-sex species; ISAAC (Mark Jackson, “That Royal Today”), an artificial life-form from a machine society that thinks biological life-forms are inferior; navigator JOHN LAMARR (J. Lee, FAMILY GUY, “The Cleveland Show”), whose casual humor cuts through even the most dire situations; ALARA KITAN (Halston Sage, “Neighbors,” “Goosebumps”), a young, inexperienced security officer whose home planet’s high gravity gives her superior physical strength; and YAPHIT, a gelatinous creature voiced by comedian Norm Macdonald (“The Middle,” “Saturday Night Live”). Somehow, Ed and Kelly must put the past behind them and, with the help of the crew, navigate fascinating and sometimes dangerous adventures in outer space, as well as the tumultuous and captivating day-to-day personal relationships with their colleagues. 

This sounds like a mashup of Star Trek and The Office, for whatever that’s worth. More photos from the show in the link below.

You know what I just watched? The Orville

My wife and I just finished up watching the first season of The Orville, and overall… it’s pretty good! Unlike Star Trek: Discovery, Seth MacFarlane’s love letter to Next Gen era Trek doesn’t try to push the formula into brave new worlds, but it is consistently fun, intermittently funny, and occasionally poignant throughout it’s initial run. To wrap up my thoughts on the first season, here are three sentence reviews of each of it’s 12 episodes, without going back and watching them at all, because that’s how I roll… apparently.

1. Old Wounds

The Orville ships out with MacFarlane’s Captain Ed Mercer in command and XO/Ex-Wife Kelly, portrayed fantastically by Adrianne Palicki, at his side. The ship, aliens, and costumes all look fantastic from the jump, and the crew introductions provide some genuine laughs (and a few groans). Everything seems to work okay, except for the love/hate dynamic between the Captain and First Officer.

2. Command Performance

Oh look, a whole episode about the love/hate dynamic between Ed and Kelly! It seems like if this is going to be focus, we need to see them handle this like adults, instead of making jokes about workplace harassment. Ed’s interaction with his parents about his prostate is everything that is wrong with the comedy in this show, but seeing a crew member from an all male species hatch a daughter brings a lot of heart and is super intriguing.

3. About a Girl

The crew wrestles with how to deal with Second-Officer Bortus’ (Peter Macon) daughter, in an interesting parallel to current conversations about gender politics. It’s nice to see the court room drama trope come in to play, since that’s such a staple of Trek, but the surprise arrival of another female Moclan is dampened by having her exhibit stereotypically feminine physical qualities. The ending judgement has the society standing up for their societal norms, and enforcing a male gender on the female-born baby, reflecting the grossness of allowing a state’s rights to override an individual’s.

4. If the Stars Should Appear

An awesome exploration of the trope of a society that doesn’t realize that they are living on a spacecraft, and not a planet. The reveals throughout are cool, and Liam Neeson’s cameo is pretty fun. The B-Story about Bortus trying to figure out how to deal with his duties and a newly grown family is an interesting exploration of life on a starship, but portraying his partner as a bit of a nag felt cheap.

5. Pria

playing on the con-man as time traveler trope seen in “A Matter of Time”, Charlize Theron flips the script by actually being both. Seeing the captain fall so quickly and completely under her spell made me miss the more reserved commanding officers of the Federation. Watching Ed’s best friend and helmsman Gordon Malloy (Scott Grimes) try to teach the robotic Data-stand-in, Isaac (Mark Jackson), the art of the practical joke was phenomenal.

6. Krill

What if some of our crew members had to go undercover as members of our greatest enemies? It’s another pretty on the nose trope, but the comedy seems to be really hitting a stride here, especially with Malloy. The mass-murder ending took me by surprise, considering how much time was spent letting us get to know the Krill.

7. Majority Rule

Another attempt at true, Trek-style social commentary, this time looking at the value placed in social media’s social currency, especially Reddit’s up and down votes. It’s great to see Lamar get to step in to the spotlight, but a shame that he behaves so obliviously all the time. Ultimately, this episode makes a pretty compelling argument against the idea of the popular vote, which is a weird stance for a fairly liberal show to take with the current POTUS in office.

8. Into the Fold

Penny Johnson Jerald’s Dr. Claire Finn and Isaac, get to take the spotlight in this weeks episode, when a shuttle crashes on a planet with a diseased and cannibalistic populous, leaving Finn’s children in Isaac’s care while she is abducted by an overprotective “savior”. The children and Dr Finn both end up taking up arms against hostiles, giving us an exploration of the morality of self defense. Mostly, though, both watching Finn murder someone and seeing a kid take up a fire arm was just uncomfortable.

9. Cupid’s Dagger

Oh hey, another episode all about the relationship between Kelly and Ed, this time based on the man she had an affair with coming aboard and causing everyone to fall in love. Rob Lowe does a great job filling the Lwaxana Troi role in this romance romp, and is charming to the viewer, even without secreting phermones everywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of the humor and even the resolution for this episode is based way too heavily in date-rape analogies and a complete ignorance of consent, which means nothing really works.

10. Firestorm

It’s a holodeck-gone-wrong epsisode, except it turns out that it’s done intentionally. I get that we’re having Alara (Halston Sage) literally face her fears, but it seems like this goes well past confrontation to intentional psychological torture. Also, why clowns?

11. New Dimensions

This one started off pretty awesome, with a look at a two dimensional civilization living in a two dimensional reality, but then the Orville ended up being able to just fly through it as a three dimensional ship, for some reason? I feel like letting them slide through without really being impacted limited any interesting explorations. Unless it was trying to be a metaphor for Lamar’s (J. Lee) character development where, I guess, he’s not a dummy anymore and is going to be our Engineer, because Geordi?

12. Mad Idolatry

This is an episode of Voyager, from the main plot conceit, to the timeline not really making sense at all, but it was still super fun. Kelly is a great character, so it was awesome for her to really steal the spotlight, and I liked that the ultimate message wasn’t “Religion is bad because it’s fake”, but was instead “Belief and community are essential, regardless of their origin. Also, it looks like they are finally going to drop the will-they-won’t-they through-line for season two!

And that’s it! Looking back on these episodes, I had more complaints than I expected to, but overall I really did enjoy the series. My big hope for the future is that they’ll spend more time thinking of the impact of the scenarios they set up, a little bit less time on dick and fart jokes (not 100%, but a little), and a lot less time harassing Kelly.

It’s incredible to me that we have both this and Discovery on TV at the same time, and I like what they are both doing for the Sci-Fi genre. Orville, I’ll see you in Season 2!
