Gli stessi autori hanno condannato il trailer dicendo che Fox l'ha ritagliato per far pensare che fosse una serie humor alla family guy nello spazio (dato che l'autore è la voce di Peter Griffin in originale). In realtà, come detto sopra, la serie prende il meglio di Star Trek e lo aggiorna al 21° secolo, con personaggi meno ingessati e più realistici, ciascuno con i propri difetti in aggiunta ai propri pregi.

The Orville trailer
The first trailer for the show heavily promoted it as a comedy.It was my only bump with the initial campaign.— Seth MacFarlane, on the May 2017 trailer[91]As late as early 2017, most of the crew remained tight-lipped about the show, but Fox began to promote it as primarily a comedy. Fox aired a promotional video in May, which clashed with the show's producers' vision of a drama laced with comedic elements. To their chagrin, The Orville's crew found themselves portrayed by their own company as a lighthearted, screwball comedy.Their disagreement came to a head at the first public unveiling of The Orville at the Fox Upfront presentation on May 16. In Seth MacFarlane's first public comment he stated only that The Orville "is not Family Guy in space, it's kind of its own show."[92] Minutes later adding that "the show is being promoted leaning on the comedy, and we like the promo a lot. I think that people will be surprised that we're digging a little deeper."[93] While the show cannot be defined by a particular genre, he continued, the writers aimed first for thoughtful science fiction, and Fox inaccurately cast the show as comedy-driven.[22] After the Fox Upfront presentation, MacFarlane and others returned to production of the show until July.
Once Fox renewed The Orville for a second season, the cast grew more vocal about their early disappointment. Braga complained that Fox "made it look like it was a satire and wall-to-wall comedy, and it's not."[n 13] MacFarlane said that the May trailer "was my only bump with the initial campaign ... it was pretty to look at, but it didn't represent the tone of what we were doing."[94]
"The show was a little misrepresented in Season 1," MacFarlane reflected a year later.It was marketed ... as a hard comedy. I'm not sure why. Maybe there was a bit of worry that this was something so weird and different that it would land if it wasn't put into a box. ... The nice thing is, the fans stuck with it and they saw what we were, the tonal balance we were riding, and they embraced it.[95]Editor and associate producer Tom Costantino reported that after the May trailer, all promotional materials were forwarded to the producers for approval before release.[90]
Con la "piccola" differenza che in quel caso i voti li dà solo lo Stato e quindi è proprio l'opposto del concetto della democrazia diretta descritta nell'episodio. Detto questo, concordo col dire che si tratta di un episodio fantastico che fa molto riflettere. Non so se vi siete persi la chicca
"Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea."
