I had heard that about Seth MacFarlane but I watched the first bit of The Orville, just in case. The whole "loveable misbehaving but good at heart/competent and deserves to be rewarded" bit killed it for me.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I don't recall seeing anything overtly rapey, but it got to the point where the regular jokes on Family Guy were so abusive in tone that it triggered me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I was leery because of McFarlane, but thought I'd try since people here liked it. It's on the DVR now, guess I'll just be prepared to delete at the first sign of McFarlane-ness.

I realized this morning that I was drawn in by the Trek love, and Galaxy Quest, of course.
A real life verification of the power of beer-goggles. And I don't drink!

I am going to watch it again. I don't like McFarlane and it wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. I was really expecting something like Family Guy in Space.
Maybe I just want something that is space and light hearted and I am overlooking things.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, this doesn't bode well: CBS has put an embargo on Star Trek: Discovery reviews prior to it airing. [link]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, rod roddenberry is at the con, and he was saying that he asked CBS if there was anything he could tell or show or ANYTHING, and they were all, "no."
A well-established way to build buzz.

They definitely went the domestic violence route, in many ways. There was a whole episode about Quagmire's sister being abused that was played for laughs. Disgusting.
