The Orville: New Horizons Episode 3.8 "Midnight Blue" Discussion Post

[senshi_forever]

First off, I'd like to remind everyone that the tie-in novella for the show, titled "Sympathy for the Devil", has released in ebook/audiobook form. Linking that post here for anyone needing more information. It's available on Amazon and through a Disney imprint. Maybe other places too, I haven't really checked.

Someone please tell me [Spoiler (click to open)]why there is no "dolly parton" tag?!?!?!

Unless I'm just blind as a bat and couldn't find it.

[beesknees7]

Damn, how do we not have a Dolly tag?!

Embed her twitter post, maybe?

What an honor to be on @TheOrville with @SethMacFarlane and @RenaOwen. I might be as old as yesterday, but with all this new technology they make me look as new as tomorrow! I really hope the fans enjoy it as much as I enjoyed being a part of it. pic.twitter.com/zDhnVIdVy0

I'm not sure if I'll have time to do that today but I'll try. Thanks!

Wait, I think it might be better to save it for its own post. Maybe we can do like a mini-roundup post-Comic Con? Use the Dolly stuff, whatever we can find about the panel on Saturday, also stuff like this:

Exclusive: #TheOrville star J. Lee opens up about how he and his costars paid tribute to Norm Macdonald after his death.

I don't know what our banned sources are so I'm just linking you to tweets to make it easier. TVLine has some good stuff & even picked Penny & Mark as their performers of the week last week. I can reply to this comment again with Comic Con stuff if you decide to do a separate post.

Re: SDCC stuff

[senshi_forever]

That's a great idea! TYSM. I'll definitely bookmark this for a panel post if the mods allow it.

Re: SDCC stuff

[beesknees7]

Just call it an Orville news roundup: Dolly + Comic Con + Misc

seriously though how do we not have a Dolly tag?!?

Re: SDCC stuff

[beesknees7]

Sounds like the biggest announcement at the panel was the show will be streaming on Disney+ starting on 8/10. No S4 announcement. :/

Please! I want to know if there’s going to be another season I’m hoping they hint at it in on Saturday.

[senshi_forever]

I know no news is good news, but I'm disappointed they didn't announce anything. I'm worried the numbers aren't enough for a strong "YES" and they might be mulling it over? I don't think that's a good sign, IDK.

I know I was enthused to do a roundup earlier, but given how there wasn't really much news at the panel I think I might not post anything after all. I just wanted to let you know.

[beesknees7]

No worries! Maybe you can usually the Dolly tweet in next Thursday's post? It's such a cute tweet.

[xorogueox]

Thank you for telling me! I’ve been checking to see if anyone has written anything up.
:( was kinda hoping their would have been some positive news. Like why have Orville at the event if they didn’t plan to renew you know?

[beesknees7]

wait, they put up a little teaser for ep 9. lots of battles w/kaylon & krill

Re: checking news

[senshi_forever]

I don't know if you meant checking in general or here specifically, but on this entry there's a little pin icon (right next to the hearts) at the bottom of the post. You can click on it and manage notifications for certain tags, etc., like for The Orville if you'd like. This helps me keep on top of FFA posts and other stuff I'm interested in by having the entries go straight to my email or inbox.
