10 Things to Know About "The Orville"1 of 10
1. Captain Kirk Never Had to Deal With This
In mid-September at PaleyFest's panel with the cast and crew of "The Orville," we learned more about the maiden voyage of Seth MacFarlane's homage to classic science-fiction shows like "Star Trek." "The Orville" features the "Family Guy" creator's famous humor with a surprisingly heartfelt love of all things galactic.

Palicki says the relationship is "tempestuous," but Ed doesn't know just how much Kelly still has his back. (Even if he thinks her dagger is still in it.)
