It took me a while to get through the episode today considering I'm currently suffering from pseudo-Covid-brain today (got my second booster yesterday - feeling the side-effects today). I liked this episode because of what it didn't have: mortal peril. You don't have to kill off someone at...

What if the cloak technology was developed by the Moclans and they had the ability to partially detect a cloaked ship? Or have a second or third weapon at their disposal? At the end of WWII, the USA had three nuclear devices. Two were dropped on Japan while a third was tested in New Mexico...

Sorry! Not gonna happen in this week's episode! :D Still, "Domino" is definitely well worth the watch. It's a very busy episode! We'll discuss plot hole issues later.

In Canada, it's been on Disney+ for I believe about a month before the third season started. Sorry for the delay, I've been busy pretending to be a cat until a bug in the game stopped me from pretending to be a cat. 😸 On to "Midnight Blue." Decent episode. Not great, but decent. It did tie up...

Don't remind me of my past fashion choices! 😂

I believe others have pointed this out before, but Seth MacFarlane isn't a very good live-action performer. Or at least in this show, he definitely seems a bit out of place. It's good that the stories are focused more on the crew than on the command. Good point. I thought the improvements would...

Don't think so, he wasn't in the preview. However, there was someone quoting one of Dolly Parton's songs.

Even more important, it brought the humanity back. Everyone on ST:TNG, ST:DS9 and ST:VOY acted as if they had a 2X4 up their backs which is why my appreciation for those series were always a bit limited. Heck, Quark was probably popular because he behaved somewhat normally! In this episode of...

Episode 7: From Unknown Graves. This episode was an emotional roller coaster consisting of four separate stories with just a bit of overlapping. Surprisingly, it mostly worked with only the story involving John and Talla possibly being the weakest one because it was both funny and highly...

You deserve an award for that closing statement! 🤣 I really enjoy The Orville's approach to time travel paradoxes. It's much more consistent than on many other shows, and it really makes you think carefully of the consequences.

He had the opportunity to shoot them and put a stop to the reset, but he didn't. That's why I suspect we haven't seen the last of this scenario. We'll probably discover the timeline's been damaged when something horrible happens to the sandwich.

Are you absolutely sure that's the end of the story?

I didn't find it to be the case at all. In fact, I find The Orville does much better than most other sci-fi TV shows.

I hope this isn't the last we'll see of Klyden. There's still plenty of potential for a dramatic follow-up. Normally, Moclan couples divorce by having one stab the other to death. Could we see an episode where we discover the children can legally force the issue on their own parents? Will Topa...

Not everything, but they did reshoot parts of it.

Of all the episodes presented this season up to now, this one was possibly the most unexpected. Even better, while it did involve a family drama, it was far from gratuitous or overly "soapy." It honestly asked what does a person do when they discover they were heavily altered without a say in...

One word to describe this week's episode: Wow.

I'm now two weeks behind on Strange New Worlds and I really don't care anymore. However, I will watch Lower Decks when it comes back. It'll replace some the humour that was lost in The Orville, not that it was a bad thing.

There was no sex scene in that episode. However, being a couple, it's to be expected they would be intimate even though it was still part of a charade. This episode was very soap opera-esque without becoming too "soapy." And the coincidence with the latest news was totally unexpected especially...

Much better episode this week! At least from my perspective. Good luck trying to discuss any of it without violating the forum's rules! :laugh:

It was definitely the weakest episode of the third season, which is a pity considering just how strongly it started out. I was hoping for an entire episode in the school because it was very goofy albeit a bit traumatising due to teenage nightmares. :oops: Still, I was easily able to watch the...

It's a big ship with a choice of "short" routes. It's plausible for them to miss each other.

First, the main bad thing. The music score was more suited for an action-adventure flick than a horror flick. It actually partially spoiled the mood of the episode. Now for the good. While the story was a bit identical to what was done by other movies and TV shows in the past, it did have the...

Will go into details later during the weekend, but I do want to mention one annoyance right away: the choice of music score was all wrong.

If you're hoping for humour in the next episode, it doesn't look like you'll get it.

It wouldn't matter where he went after The Orville. In fact, it would have been much worse. He couldn't even go back to his own people. He had no way out.

There was still some humour in The Orville such as how the new Quantum Drive was tested for stability.

I've watched the complete episode, and I can honestly say that I much preferred this week's episode of The Orville than I did this week's episode of Strange New Worlds. While clocking at 1 hour and 10 minutes, this episode honestly didn't feel that long. I can't wait to see what happens next...

Regrettably, Disney+ in Canada has seen fit to offer us only the edited 50 minute version of the first episode instead of the full 1 hour and 10 minute version available on Hulu in the USA. I'll figure something out eventually. In the meantime, I've cancelled my subscription to Disney+. I'm not...

The flexible duration will definitely help in properly timing and filling out a full story. I find 42 minute episodes of any show to be a rush job most of the time. On another subject, MacFarlane wasn't happy being with Fox. The heads insisted on "more jokes" which was deviating from what he...
