Talking The Orville: A Fandom Worth Belonging To
Why It Clicked in 2017
In 2017, a brand-new sci-fi show landed that didn’t default to cynicism. The Orville scratched an itch I didn’t realize I was missing—optimistic, human sci-fi in the spirit of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was funny and heartfelt, but it also had something rarer: hope.
From One Channel to a Whole Community
I started covering the show on my main channel, Egotastic FunTime, and something amazing happened—people showed up. Comments. Conversations. Community. It became clear The Orville wasn’t just another series to react to; it was a home base for fans who wanted a refuge from the doom-and-gloom vibe dominating fandom.
That’s why I created a dedicated channel: Talking The Orville. It’s where we dive deep—episodes, character arcs, big themes, and the moments that make this crew feel like family.
Where to Start (Guides & Comics)
New to the show or revisiting it? Begin with The Guide to The Orville for ships, characters, and lore. Then jump into the expanded universe with The Orville Library Edition —gorgeous comics that feel like bonus adventures between seasons.
Why It Matters
Talking The Orville isn’t about nitpicking for clicks. It’s about celebrating what this show stands for: humor, heart, and the belief that we can be better. If you’ve been looking for a corner of fandom that still values optimism, you’ve found it. Pull up a chair—the crew saved you a seat.
