The Originalsstar Daniel Gillies on directing: 'I got the best episode of the season'

Elijah Mikaelson is a monster. Yes, hes noble. Yes, he wears a suit. Bob Mahoney /The CW The whole premise of the show is that we are these monsters, Gillies tells EW. Your good guys are bad guys, essentially. Elijahs mind was originally conceived as this dark and sinister-looking corridor, Gillies says. I think hes going to be repulsive to people now. He only gets darker, Gillies says. They really took a brave turn with him to introduce these other elements....

The Orvilletries to be funny sometimes (and usually fails)

Seth MacFarlane lovesStar Trek, so he made aStar Trekshow. Thats the sincere and pointless appeal ofThe Orville. The point of the joke, see, was that Shatner could really overact, see. Credit to MacFarlane for pushing this average gag where noTreknerd has ever gone before. When he hosted the Oscars, he beamed Shatner-Kirk onto the big screen for some endless banter. Now, withThe Orville, MacFarlanes sitting on the bridge of his own Bizarro-Enterprise....
