This community was created a long time ago, back when it was unknown if The Orville would be renewed after its purchase by Disney during the 20th Century Fox buyout. It has been posted to a few times, but has otherwise lay dormant. What’s interesting is the number of the subscribers for a community that is effectively dead - I believe there are a lot of people that want it to be active. Now that The Orville has started filming it’s fourth season (the first under Disney’s banner), I have assumed control of this community from its long-gone creator in the hopes it can be revived.
This community is for anything related to The Orville, the people producing and starring in it, any news, discussion, or memes. Just follow instance rules and be civil. We are not opposed to Star Trek (old or new), we are allies of Trekkies and every other scifi fandom. That being said, be on the look out for clowns and try not to step in Yaphit.
Yeah, it seems like it would be pretty easy to justify in story terms by having Yaphit split or merge with another gelatinous alien, but all that really gets you is a new blob that’s not Norm Macdonald. The blob being Norm was a large part of the appeal, so I don’t know who you’d get to recreate that vibe.
Maybe merge it with a blob that is voiced by Bill Burr. I think he has the same flavor as Norm but is distinct.
Bill Burr would be fantastic. Unfortunately, I am afraid we might get someone like Billy Crystal.
