    The Orville - Season 3

    Sure, but the same could probably be said about Vulcans and Romulans and Klingons and Borg in Star Trek, but that doesn't stop anyone from doing more stories about them.

    The Orville - Season 3

    My wife and I started to watch the Orville finale last night, but got interrupted by a phone call from my sister. By the time the phone call was over, it was too late to really continue the episode (my wife has been under the weather). This afternoon, when I came downstairs, my wife was almost...

    The Orville - Season 3

    Well, keep in mind that the memorial scenes are for us (the audience) as much as (if not more than) the other characters. Whether there are services for all of the others that died, or not, doesn't really mean anything to us, because we don't know those characters. The "named" characters are...

    The Orville - Season 3

    I dunno. Didn't feel like it. Yes, I realize it really was that long, but it didn't seem like it to me or my wife.

    The Orville - Season 3

    Three solid episodes in a row! It's a shame there's only four more episodes left (I'm not sanguine about a Season 4 renewal).

    The Orville - Season 3

    We also don't know who destroyed the station. The assumption is that the Kaylons did it, though the Krill were put forth as another possibility. My wife and I were convinced that the episode was going to end with the Orville having changed history to prevent the time-travel technology from...

    The Orville - Season 3

    My wife liked the episode over all, but had a strong negative reaction to Ed & Kelly's decision. She thought that they were wrong. Unquestionably. And she was disappointed by the very end, in which Gordon-2015 was happy with what Ed & Kelly did. I thought they were wrong, too. And I thought...

    The Orville - Season 3

    This most recent episode...I just don't have words. Possibly...probably...the best episode of the series so far. Well, maybe I have a few words... The most impressive part is that even as I wanted to hate Klyden, I felt sorry for him at the same time. He's been dealing with his own personal...

    The Orville - Season 3

    No shit. I'd say I was impressed by how much Seth tried to cram into the episode, but oddly enough he was neither writer nor director on this one. I have to say that, at least with one particular segment of the story, it was a bizarre bit of synchronicity that my wife and I watched it tonight...

    The Orville - Season 3

    To be honest, I thought this was one of the weakest (if not the weakest) Orville episodes to date. A moderately interesting mystery, but the solution became a little too obvious a little too early on. And the exposition at the end was too much. If you need a character to explain pretty much...

    The Orville - Season 3

    So, apparently, no one on Orville ever picked Alien to watch on movie night.:rolleyes: The problem I had with the kids thing (assuming we're talking about the same kids thing) is that if she's going from sick bay to their quarters, and they're going from their quarters to sick bay, they...

    The Orville - Season 3

    Can't agree. Everyone I know that watched the show without fail liked the fact that it was humorous. It wasn't an outright comedy, but it had a goodly amount of funny dialogue. The stories are serious and dramatic, but the humor comes from the characters. As opposed to, say, Star Trek: Lower...

    The Orville - Season 3

    Epguides, like a lot of places, seems to harvest info from wherever. It may well be that the episode was originally titled "New Horizons" back when the show was going to continue to be called just The Orville. Then they decided to use that title for the show itself.

    The Orville - Season 3

    Actually, the title of the first new episode is "Electric Sheep" (a reference to Philip Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which was the basis for Blade Runner). My thoughts... For those wondering, the humor quotient was all but rock bottom. Pretty much the only laugh was the...

    The Orville - Season 3

    Welllllll...more for the Shakespeare pastiche than the musical numbers. Now, Buffy's "Once More, With Feeling"...that's a keeper, as was Whedon's web series, Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog. Whatever deficiences Whedon might have as a human being, he really understood how to craft a musical...

    The Orville - Season 3

    Damn! I was looking forward to it coming next month! Well, I suppose it gives me (and my wife) more time to rewatch last season. It's been so long, I've forgotten how the season ended.
