I love how Orville turned out. First season was start Trek with jokes. But then season 2 and specially season 3 became it's own. And it has more deep stories then I've ever seen in any Star Trek. And the jokes while still be there don't feel forced anymore or are over used. It more feels like the typical jokes anyone would do with ones friend in those situations.

[MrCovi]

The Orville has been some of the best Star Trek I've seen since I was a kid.

[robwalsh]

When The Orville began, I had no idea it would feature one of the best space battles in recent memory. And I had no idea how scary Isaac's fellow Kaylons would be. I love their classic pulp sci fi design.

[shinyagumon]

I like how the Orville manages to have a style that's elegant and futuristic in the spirit of Star Trek without just being a blatant rip off or clone.

It has it's own design language that's instantly recognizable and that's not an easy feat.

[CaptnNuco]

I love the design language of this show's FTL. Every group has those oval pylons in some form or another gives this show a unified aesthetic for each people. Moklan's are smooth on the outside but are skeletal almost incomplete on the inside. Krill are all sharp lines, piercing edges but rigged. Kaylon's like Binary 1s and 0s, negative space with the eye in the middle resembles the universal symbol for On/Off.

How have I not heard about the Spirit of Fire cameo?!

[CptHer]

The Orville is such a great show. It's like a bait and switch but in a good way baiting you with comedy and then switching it with high quality scifi. Also I wish you would make a video like this for the Mass Effect ships.

[th_Primarch]

You know what types of ships are under shown in scifi?

Salvaging ships and mobile drydocks.

A video on those would be interesting to watch.

Well shit, cannot be unseen.

The designs of the Planetary Union would be right at home in the All Systems Commonwealth. I can totally see the Orville and the Andromeda Ascendant fighting together in formation.

[metalfan]

Started watching The Orville at random a couple weeks ago, and oh boy do I like it! And then I discovered that Bruce Boxleitner is the president of the Planetary Union on season 3!! What an amazing sci-fi show it turned out to be!

[tanukijessica]

Season 2 of The Orville was great but season 3 blew me away. I really hope we get more cos they set a super high standard. And also the fact they go back to earlier stories. I always wonder with Star Trek when they go to an interesting place but then you never see or hear anything from those people again. It's nice to come back and see how things have changed since we first saw those places.

[KingreX]

So Daniel finally watched the show. It's about time.

Union Heavy Cruisers are easily my favorite from the show. Close second is the Xelayan Shuttle, Moclan Fighters and cruisers I really like too. I do like the smoothness of the latter.

[pigpig]

it's WILD that they put the Spirit of Fire in as an Easter Egg, one of the best looking scifi ships ever

[CIoudStriker]

I'd love to see you guys check out the ships from the game *Dreadnought.* It's woefully underpopulated and has some amazing ship designs, including unique-ish hero ships in all shapes and sizes. From the eponymous dreadnoughts, which oddly enough are slow, short-ranged brawlers to the jack-of-all-trades destroyers, tactical cruisers which mainly fit into support roles to finally the artillery cruisers, which are basically just gigantic railguns with engines and a bridge strapped to them.

[gabrieldarcy]

The orville is such a beautiful ship 😍

[zenkomenhi]

By far my favorite is the Union Leviathan-class, that ship is absolutely gorgeous. Probably one of my favorite capital ship designs bar none. The Moclan fighter is also excellent and looks mean and dangerous.

[HeadlessChickenTO]

I honestly like the design of the version 2 shuttle. I like the added sleek lines and having more viewable area for better spacial awareness. It almost looks like it could be an evolution of the BSG Raptor.

[TyrThor]

Orville union ships reminds me nicely of Andromeda ships as well as Star Trek ones. While still having their own flare.
