The Orville: New Horizons - Reinforcements / The Battle of Krill [4K]

"We'll try to avoid a firefight, but we did bring the entire fleet... just in case."

It should be remembered that one of those people was the damned President of the Union, of course they were going to go all out to rescue them.

I love how the show evolved into a more mature, Star Trek style show, instead of only a parody. They walk the line between parody and seriousness really really well

[weirdassenbychild]

I've seen a lot of people completely miss the point of this engagement, thinking it was meant to be a strategic advance against the Krill, when it was simply a very elaborate distraction to allow Lamarr and Dr Finn to extract the Delegation, which included the President, the VP, an Admiral, one of the luckiest captains in the Union, and someone capable of visualizing the fourth dimension, an ability that is so rare, it is a 'Once in a generation' occurence.

So they recovered 6 people in a shuttle, lost a couple hundred in battle and then left a few ships worth of crew behind after hastily abandoning the enemy planet's orbit? That's what I call a total victory.

This looks more like Star Trek than something currently coming from the franchise.

Kudos for Seth and the crew for putting together several of the best space battles in any sci-fi series!

[phillipcraggs]

if you close your eyes, and listen to the music, it sounds like an early Star Wars video game.

[callum]

Hope they show admiral Ozawa more next season. 
Love the Orville series, definitely feels more like trek as a whole, though the space battles aren’t perfect and a lot of people make good points about them… 
btw they have a lot of different types of ships in this fleet, they have fighters, science and explorer classes and leviathan class battleships here, they just don’t look massively distinct from each other.

I know the show is called "the Orville" so the show obviously has to be about the ship and its crew, however, considering how much of an impact Ed & his crew have had in all 3 seasons to the Planetary Union, you'd think they'd all have been promoted to a larger heavy cruiser ship by now. 😁

[j.s.walker]

It's like a glorious cross between Star Trek and Star Wars!

[bettyswunghole]

I always find it remarkably convenient that opposing battle fleets fire lasers of different colours...it certainly helps the viewers understand what's going on. 😆

[FekLeyrTarg]

There's something I've been wondering about for some time:
The Union captured an entire Krill ship intact back in season 1.
A golden opportunity to reverse engineer Krill technology and adapt things like deflectors and weapons accordingly.

And then there was the deflector upgrade by the Moclans in season 2.

And still the Union's ships are outmatched by the Krill's.

I think the Union's ships should've had a much better chance against the Krill with the captured technology and the deflector upgrade.

[hawkstringfellow]

Its either too dark or cut and past ships this is detailed as fuck like a mini movie every week go Orville BOOM

[sonicguyver]

It's always weird watching these clips after not watching the show for a while. I keep forgetting they don't have transporters. They really are spoiled in Star Trek.

[akjackhd]

the mere score of this show is just so wonderful.. the orville has a wonderful taste for adapting the music according to the atmosphere, i sure hope the composer releases the new horizons soundtrack soon (edit: the soundtrack is out BUT the only track missing is the music that plays when they enter orbit with the fleet)

[lorzon]

I enjoyed this, but those ships are *enormous* but only ever seem to have 2 cannons.

[cromwell]

It’s crazy to me that the spoof show is better than most modern Star Trek shows

[daebi]

You get a wide shot of the whole union fleet arrive, consolidate and then move to the Krill home world. Another wide shot of the Union fleet arrive at the Krill home world same number of ships. Battle commences and the Union fleet is now almost 4 times the size it was when it arrived LOL silly silly silly

[adrianguerrero]

It's funny how this is better star trek then the sequels
