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.

When I tell you that I hollered at

1) the cameo - like holy shit, if the 9 to 5 fight scene from S2 brought me so much joy, imagine what this did. I was like



2) Bortus taking that pig's good eye. Goddamn, goddamn.

I live for the Bortus/Kelly episodes they've done every season, and I'm into that vibe they put out. Not sure whether they'll take it anywhere now that Klyden is back and repentant, but the chemistry is there.

The actress playing Topa is brilliant.

Oh, and re: Comic Con if anyone is going

That bone structure tho

now that I've watched it, the best part of the cameo for me was the way they threaded the song into the show. The embrace of music in all its forms is something that I have absolutely loved about this show from the beginning. Something about the way they use music, both contemporary music and the live orchestral score, just makes the spirit soar.

I would say that's definitely a credit to Seth. He champions using a live orchestra for all of his shows, like since Family Guy started, and for the albums he's recorded as well. And he's a nerd for musicals.
