It was ok, apart from the Dolly Parton shit
9:10 so since a python fan shouldn’t you have inserted “get on with it” scene

It was pretty brilliant, actually. Made me want to be there with them. The characters are "real people", and act accordingly. They have relationships, personal drama, and bathroom breaks. Sure, some episodes were better/stronger than others. Star Trek TOS had "Spock's Brain" and "Turnabout Intruder" along with "Doomsday Machine", "Mirror, Mirror", and "Balance of Terror". "The Orville" is "appointnent television" for "Trek" fans. 3rd, 4th, and 5th seasons are required
Agreed, it was awesome.
DAVID MADDOX yep
I liked it but I think season 1 was better
the moclun episodes were boring af
Not anymore.... see my comment above about news on Season 3!
Holy Crap, NO. The show just had its "Borg moment" in the Kaylon two-parter. That sent an already good show to greatness.
Between The Orville and The Expanse, space opera TV fans are well serviced right now.
Definitely. The Orville S2 and The Expanse S3 were so damn good. I'd rank themup there as some all time great scifi.
Im still holding out hope that Discovery will figure itself out a little better.
> Discovery will figure itself out
Acting, CGI, production crews all great.
Writing staff and show-runners (responsible for coherent story & vision respectively) need to be fully changed out.
Thus, it cannot figure itself out; it needs an intervention. Very tragic.
@@KnowledgeDriven As long as Kurtzman and the current writing staff are running things, there is no chance. Absolutely none. Everything they did needs to be wiped out.
Dave If they rip off Andromeda for season three, it will be game over for STD
Disent Design Someone likes something you dont. "Sheeple" indeed. Go away, troll.
When i watch Orville i feel that "rush" i once feelt for Star Trek and that is a good feeling, that thing when you wait new episodes with happines on your face!
@Disent Design well just that one episode
@Disent Design For 99% that aren't completely uptight it's actually funny or enjoyable. But some people just can't have a laugh.
@Disent Design OK I am not an intelectual like you so I find it funny. I understand. Do you even know that orville isn't anywhere near tng. Seth McFarlane was the guy who basically made Family Guy. For me Orville finds the balance between serious storytelling and homour.
@Disent Design So you say it's not funny and something being funny is subjective in one sentence. That is mutually exclusive. For most of the people I know and I have seen, it's funny. I am sorry if you don't laugh often but you don't have to be like a grumpy old man because of that.
@Disent Design So you acknowledge people have different tastes and opinions and presumably you also know that humour is extremely subjective, then you go and insult these same people for their tastes and opinions.
Quite the hypocritical douchebag aren't you...
Did it suck?
Not in the least.
There, I just saved you 10 minutes. You're welcome.
@Tumbleweed Aw, it's so cute when 9 year olds try to act tough.
Now, get a juicebox and your blankie, I think Spongebob is about to start. And shush, the adults are talking.
Attaboy.
Ima Pseudonym indeed, season two was phenomenal
I would like to make a YT video, saying JUST THAT !
mil views!
The best part of the special effects in "Identity, part 2" was the storyboard. This could have easily become confusing, with hundreds of objects coming in all directions, yet they were beautifully choreographed. For once, effects were not left to the special effects people alone and have an actual narrative.
And the music keeps being a highlight. Point at any other show that features a brand new, full orchestral score for every single episode. That's why they feel like small movies.
Juan de Salgado just look at the confusing mess that was STD’s finally to know how easily it be fucked up
As someone who enjoyed season one of The Orville, season two was absolutely amazing. I only hope that season 3 has been confirmed.
It has... it's already filming over on Hulu!
We have become big fans of Orville. Season one was good, but season two really worked. In our opinion, they out Star Trek'd Star Trek.
The Orville Season 2 Did it Suck?
NO!
In fact I personally think it's an amazing show...
it was super boring
Hes british. They dont like emotions
@@Zero11s thats becsuse u have no soul
@@Zero11s hes a fucking ninja man hes the hottest thing in Hollywood right now literally
@@MrNnconHow very dare you! I should call you out sir; meet you at dawn.. 🤣 Haha
Actually, I think there was more humor in season 2, but it's not as awkwardly inserted as it was in season 1, and that's why it's not as noticeable. For example, when Ed and Gordon replicate a twinkie and argue about it, it's hilarious. You would think it's no way to start a very dark episode, but it actually works because it fits in with how the established characters would react to that situation. Likewise, when Isaac causes it to rain inside the bridge, it works because it fits in with the story. When Bortus and Klyden fight over cigarettes, it's funny but it works because it shows they're genuinely addicted.
the double episode "Identity" part one and two was the highlight of season 2 for me. and a great tribute to Star trek the next generation's epic double episode "the best of both worlds" part one and two
For me the last one
Ed and Kelly are the same as Fry and Leela. All of futurama circled around the "will they/won't they" with amazing payoff. I believe Seth can pull it off.
Orville is almost everything i wanted in a Star Trek tribute series. It's nearly perfect.
The Orville continues to meet and exceed expectations.
The small moments and interactions is really a nice touch.
The episode where they explore a time capsule from 2015, that really drew me in, plus Tuvok guest stars.
...and don't forget Deanna Troi, she was on the Orville too. You watch...more "Star Trek" actors will start showing up on The Orville for season 3
Arnie Cardenas what episode was that?
@@TwsWithSai247 Season 2, Episode 11, "Lasting Impressions".
And Marina Sirtis was in Episode 12, "Sanctuary". She played the new teacher.
Lasting impressions is easily the episode I connected the most too. I also loved the concept and the "life motto" of Laura of trying to leave a lastest impression.
I still love the uniforms. Also Issac is awesome. Design-wise and voice-wise
The S2 changes to the uniforms making them less plastic like were a big improvement
Isaac is my favorite character
The actor really deserves praise, he is able to present a huge variety of emotions without being able to show emotion or expressions.
@@danaen9985 Fun Fact: Jackson does speak through his mask while filming, as shown in the blooper reel, and then it must get dubbed over. Doesn't take away from the fact acting with a full face mask is so incredibly hard. I love his gentle head tilts and the fluidity of his fingers.
The Orville was the closest thing to Star Trek we got.
Call me crazy, but I love the ed & kelly stuff...
I agree, I mean they're a couple with a potential conflict of interest due to their job, but I the potential for drama is there and not something we often see in the genre, the closes we had before this was Bill Adama and Laura Roslin.
All right. You’re crazy. I got pretty sick of the Ed and Kelly stuff. It was funny every once in a while.
Especially the hysterical episode where Ed first couldn’t stand, then was cool with, then was charmed by, then was weirdly attracted to, then had sex with Rob Lowe‘s blue character what’s his name. The scene where Ed was getting ready for his “date” with blue guy and walking through the cologne mist. I replayed that over and over again. Classic.
Then using blue guy to get the two alien hate-each-other‘s-guts arch enemies to talk to each other, and THEY end up falling in love with each other, too. That was BRILLIANT. Two man-on-man romances in one episode. Who could ask for anything more?
When they fought over Rob Lowe in season 1? Omg. Lurve. Apparently that happened on set of Tommy Boy between Farley and Spade.
I mean, it's Rob Lowe..
My only complaints about the Orville so far are the over reliance on relationships and Moclans. Relationships are just boring plots to me, and I think they could find more sci-fi comedy material with other characters, not just Bortus and Klyden.
There were atleast 3 episodes about the Gay Black aliens this season lol
Over-normalizing gay relationships while suppressing the majority Straight-relationships. The Gordon episode doesn't count, because he was basically delusional.
Thought there were too many love relationships as well in season 2. Kelly, Issac, Talla, Bortus etc... Just started to get irritating after while. No break between episodes. The most painful was the Issac romance subplot. Felt like Issac was being exploited. It got pretty tiring seeing these characters self projecting their ideals on him like he should be ashamed for not having feelings. It was really ridiculous. Always thought Issac should be the opposite of Data from TNG. He doesn't want to be more human just to gather new information he deems worthy of obtaining. Also the doctors kids were annoying as hell. Another reason why families shouldn't be on military starships...
@@grantwilson4506 "over-normalizing"? What's that supposed to mean?
@@MaMastoastIt's a bigot, ignore it. It'll never accept what it can't understand nor will it ever learn and grow.
You know it was your review of season 1 that finally made me give this a chance and boy am I glad that I did. When I first heard about this show and saw the teases I was expecting family guy in space, one long spoof of everything I love and was really really put off.
Instead what we got was a slightly rocky start (I assume because Fox forced all the jokes into it) that turned into an amazing sci-fi show that I've been craving since the days of B5, DS9, Farscape, etc.
Thanks for opening my eyes.
I liked most of the humor in season 1, and in some ways, wish season 2 had more of it. I find it refreshing to see science fiction not serious and gloomy all the time, a road far too many sci fi shows take.
No the Orville doesn't suck, it's a lot better the Star Trek Discovery.
That's like comparing spring water to sewerage
John Mullins you can say that again ! discovery was crap really.
Well said!
You don't need to justify liking something by bashing another thing.
A better Star Trek show, at the very least.
no , it didnt suck. it was great. exceeded any expectations , as did season one. well written and funny , with a remarkable atmosphere of the old star trek. I hope it continues.
Keeps getting better. A slow positive burn. Season 3 Hopefully!!! 😎
The final episode reminded me of the Voyager episode Timeless. One thing that did frustrate me is that it was never addressed out loud how selfish and irresponsible Kellys actions were. I mean why even agree to a mind swipe if you're just going to alter the timeline and therefore course of other peoples lives without a seconds thought.
She literally said no living being can resist the temptation to change their future mistakes, n she was allowed to and did it (even tho super fast)
Issac sitting on the couch looking like Andy Capp in his wife beater and jocks was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I kinda Like Ed and Kelly sub-plot. Sure not all the time, but i kinda want them to be together. :-)
Orville has legs under it now. I think most people forget that the first couple seasons of TNG were shaky! 😁
I do think Kelly was deeply impacted, but will internalize it and torture herself. And I'm with you on Ed and Kelly. Do something, or move along... But Ed just can't accept his failure.
I would have been interested to have "Sanctuary" delve more into the issue of the rights of one civilization imposing their culture/world view, onto another culture/world view.
I am currently watching season 2 and I just saw 9th episode. I have to say I have never seen such good scifi TV series. In season 2 I gave many episodes 10 stars on imdb. If someone is watching Star Trek Discovery, and is wondering, is there anything better, then Orville is my suggestion nr 1.
The "worst" episode of The Orville is still better than the best episode of STD. Just say'n. #RenewTheOrville
I strongly disagree
If you had watched Star Trek Discovery, you would have responded differently.
@@OrbinHD I have watched Star Trek Discovery. I have done 3 videos on it and have another coming soon. My response remains the same
@@RowanJColeman You have probably misunderstood me. The answer went to "Benjamin Jones". I saw your Discovery reviews! I love Discovery!
@@OrbinHD I saw discovery I hate season 2 and netral on season 1.
Season 2 was way better than season 1. It's found its footing and I care about all the characters unlike that other space show.
Season 2 was great I just hope it gets renewed
The orville season 2 is awesome, I loved every episode
I'd love to hear your thoughts on season 3. It's so good. For me it brings it up to being fully on pat with the best of trek
IMO, the first few episodes were pretty weak, then it steadily improved throughout the season.
My only real problem with this season is all the time they spent on romantic relationship drama, and retreading all the Moclan stuff so often. That being said, it was still an enjoyable show and began standing out as its own thing more & more.
Corey same can be said for TNG... it all worked out really well, sadly STD is sinking
On the other hand, I’m glad that the Moclans are expanded on further and the millennia-long history of irrational prejudice on the planet isn’t overturned in 40 minutes.
@@Rs2006REMAKEVids 4 words - Bortus with a mustache
The Moclan stuff is hilarious!
@@nickn4135 also Bortus wit a cigarette
As a Trek fan, I look forward to trying The Orville out.
Season 2 is better without the "comedy" moments, but I agree the ongoing Ed and Kelly relationship thing is (in my opinion) slightly irritating. Identity parts 1 and 2 are my favourite story this season, and Dolly Parton is awesome :D
Imo season 2 was fantastic. Great plotlines. The whole kaylon plot was great.
I have been a die hard Trekkie since 1965. That being said, The Orville absolutely ROCKS! HANDS DOWN! Season 2 was even better than season 1 because the actors have learned their characters and the writers have got their footing. I am interested to see where it goes from here. Episode 12 and the fight scene at the Mochlan sanctuary is one of, if not the, best choreographed and implemented fight scenes (with music) that I have EVER seen and thoroughly enjoyed. Seth McFarland has really created a great show in the expanse that was Trek. Star Trek is suffering greatly from damage done to it by Rick Berman and J.J. Abrams. Those 2 took a perfectly good formula and replaced it with swine feces. McFarlane tweaked Roddenberry's formula into his own iteration and has captivated audiences. I could do with a LOT less sexual innuendo toward homosexuality (and the rest) and just focus on the story at hand. We don't need to see into the crew's sex life.
With two ongoing Star Trek series right now, the best Star Trek show is a comedy series by the guy who gave us Family Guy?
I’m one of those people that actually like the Ed and Kelly drama so I disliked it for the reason of the fact that I personally don’t think that’s the weakest link in the show or the most annoying. I know people will disagree with this comment. Other than that though your right that season 2 is better than 1 and the fact that The Orville should def be renewed for season 3! We want more Orville! 👍🏻
"Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes" is a phrase from a song in the movie, "The King and I," with Yul Brynner as the King of Siam (Thailand). The movie is great, if you haven't seen it, although romanticized from the actual history.
Same as the road not taken.
If the Orville has taught me one thing it’s that Star Trek is not dead. And also that Xelayans are hot.
Am I the only one that had hoped they kept the humor level up as much as season 1? I love the show, season two was great but everyone comments on how nice it is to have toned down the humor. Its freakin Seth! I WANT humor from him.
The interesting thing is that the first season of the show will be memorable precisely because of the OTT humour and the presence of Alara. Sometimes early seasons of Stsr Trek cane quite forgetabe because it doesn't establish itself until season 3. Not so the Orville. Regardless whether you love or hated the humour in S1, you will always remember it. Indeed, I remember sone specific events and jokes from quite a lot of S1. I can't say that about Star Trek.
Being less critical, treat the show as a chill time and you will find every single episode outstanding. I did and was so thrilled to the point that i gotta move from one episode to the next and finish the whole season in just 2 days.
Season 2 was awesome!
About Alara's departure... What stood out in that episode, is the fact that MacFarlane didn't take the easy way out like most other "bleak" and dark Sci-Fi/fantasy genres of nowadays, in let's say killing her (GoT Martin's fav "sport" for instance), and then having a memorial where everybody is crying in a pool of tears that we _must_ see during a whole episode when nothing actually happens (laziness of writers copying each others, since "it works" as an emotional trigger - I got tired of that same plot repeated over and over in most TV Series to set up a character departure).
Btw: as opposed to what you seem to like, personally I prefer adventurous stories and plots rather than "character psychological introspection and relationship development" unless it's _necessary:_ as since STO and then TNG, *I want to look at a Star Trek production for my leisure and entertainment,* _not_ to get educated or lectured on contemporary/trendy social issues (especially when those are dipped into utter incoherence when under the hands of maniacal SJW extremists), nor to play the prejudiced psycho-analyst amateur seeking tears forced down via pseudo drama. ST Picard is an extreme example of all this.. Why do critics always want some production to conform to _their_ narratives or predetermined mold? That's not "culture" nor creativity, that's essentially trying to dumb down everyone to some predefined cultural diktat: it's marketing or propaganda imposed from top to bottom, not "culture"... A good cultural canvas for a Democracy, is when we can access to _variety._
If you don't hear to the conclusion. You're very confused as too whether he liked it or not.
I'm just gonna assume he just tolerated it.
Season 2 was great. I'm so worried about the future, I just want to find out its status one way or another. Hope it's renewed.
To be honest, although I've been enjoying the Orville, with the exception of Happy Refrain and Identity, I've just not been that engaged this season and I really can't put my finger on it. The finale in particular was I felt everything I didn't enjoy this season rolled into one
It was AWESOME!!! Less bathroom humor and more serious sci-fi. Seth kicked it up a few notches.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Did it suck? That is a question that each person can only answer for themselves.
I don't think they intended to show how silly, and shallow humans are in "Orville" due to living a society so perfecty, but they did. I'm not saying humanity is weak, and pointless in the Orville furture, but it's sort of like a persons concept of roughing it was summer camping trip on year, compared to person fighting their way out of poverty just so their children can have better life. Every human in Orville is silly, sheltered, and really cool. I would love to see a show comparing, and contrasting the differance in humanity from the present, to Orville's time peried.
Kelly young and old was a great episode and perfect sci fi, and her decision to not go out with Mercer on how it impacted the Universe and events, was a little like City on the Edge of Forever in TOS, and any plot similar to Time Machine movie, how a small event can impact history. Total Sci Fi.
Space....The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Orville. Its continuing mission: To continue the original 'Star Trek' adventures inspired by Gene Roddenbery's visions. To seek first contact with new civilizations while having lots of fun. To boldly go where no Star Treks have gone before!!
Seriously though, who wouldn't want to be Seth McFarlane. First he gets famous for ripping off the simpsons/south park themes, now even more money for ripping off the star trek theme. It's the American dream.
everyone has an opinion and mine woud be allow the audience to think rather then have such predictable episodes as ''identity'' and most of the others, there were some very funny pieces such as smoking but nothing as good as removing a leg while asleep. Orville can be funny and serious at the same time, however it needs to grow up, people want to be surprised not think this is going to end in tears which it did. Season 3 please be somewhere between Galaxy Quest and DS9 where we can encounter more people, aliens and dangers while running backward and forward to that space base that the Orville got side-tracked from supplying
S2 of "The Orville" was better than S1, but Capt Mercer turning into ad hoc Capt Picard was practically the last straw for me. "The Orville" is so determined to be a love letter to Star Trek TNG, while also aping TOS so overtly so often, that it frequently fails to be its own animal. S1 had that "blue collar", "not-the-elite-of-the-fleet", going for it and I really wish they had stuck with that.
I was hoping to have a couple of episodes where the Orville crew did have to bounce off of the Union's Eilte, Their actual analog to the Enterprise-D, playing second fiddle despite being the series headliners. They go in feeling pretty sure of themselves and afterwards have to drag themselves "off the floor". How they would do that, as a group and as individuals, would be a neat mini-arc in the season. But nope, The Orville is, without actually saying it, one of "the elites of the fleet" because writing space heroes who actually have to try is hard?
S3 was greenlit, but I am not really all that interested. Until "The Orville" works on being its own thing and not "I wish I was TNG SOOOOO bad", I really could care less.
No, it didn’t. It was great
We see writing problem after writing problem on this show, and we mostly let it pass, but near as we can tell, technology has vastly improved in 400 years while common sense is a rarity. Time and again, we watch the Orville crew and officers leap blindly into situations for which they could have easily prepared themselves. For example, the Moclans are a violent species, lay eggs, pee once a year, can eat glass and metal, and have bizarre customs, rituals, and laws; does anyone on board bother to read a three-page summary before bringing two of them on board for two years? Of course not, so they keep getting surprised, inconvenienced, and/or injured because of this ignorance.
I was sad when Halston Sage left. I loved her character. her dating Seth seemed a bit odd given the aga difference. people worried it would effect the show.
then she leaves? anyway, in season 1 of Prodigal Son I liked, but thought she gave up her roll on The Orville to play a reporter? then season 2 came along!
wow, her character is getting some excellent material now. good for her.
The second season of The Orville didn't suck at all, but if I had any complaints about it, I'd say that Seth needs to steer away from storylines we've seen in TNG before. Don't get me wrong. I loved Identity and despite The Road Not Taken feeling a little rushed (not their fault, they crammed a lot in an hour), I'd like to see something truly original. The Orville has established their universe and characters incredibly well; it's time to start really thinking outside of the Trek box.
Orville is the Trek we need. STD is fucking shit. Orville is where it's at.
I am so FURIOUS!!!!! I refused to pay for CBS All Access to watch ST: Discovery (big Trekkie here) -- and this week (July 29, 2019), it was announced that Season 3 of The Orville will be moved..... wait for it...... to Fall 2020...... on HULU, goddammit!!!! So, in other words, we would have to pay for a Streaming Service to see The Orville now??????? I pay too much for Cable TV now and may have to say goodbye to Capt. Mercer for their uber greediness!!!!
I think people wanted to like The Orville Season 2 more than they actually did. The majority of the episodes won’t hold up to future scrutiny. Example... Isaac still having a job with no consequences even after his actions led to the deaths of thousands and almost to destruction of earth. And way too many episodes about crew relationship problems.
I'm glad The Orville is around, though I agree with most criticisms.
Guess I'll have to take another look. It's clear I missed something. My attitude maybe colored by having buried both my parents and an ex wife in 2019-2020. All the joy got sucked right out of the continuum. Before you comment. I liked my ex. We were still friends. We just couldn't live in the same house. Cancer hates us all.
My absolute favorite moment of the entire two seasons was Ed taking out the shuttle to spy on Kelly and her new boyfriend, So FU Rowan Coleman. :)
Season one humor was on point, hilarious, and awesome.
It didn't suck til half way thru S2.
Up til Identity 1, Orville could do no wrong, I hung for every episode.
Identity 2 burst the bubble. They went with convention. There's a dozen ways it could have concluded and still maintained its edge. Maybe the network pressured Macfarlane to go predictable. The fodder we were presented in last half of S2 is evidence of this.
There is still hope for Orville, I have faith. But, if they pursue unicorns and neat endings, I may have a crisis of faith.
If you think it sucked then I can't be sure if you watched it
Well I didn't think it sucked.
Call me crazy but while I loved season 2 i sorta missed the comedy of season 1. It felt like TNG with comedy and i can definetly see how that would piss people off it really worked for me and it made the show sort of its own. Now with all the ripoff episodes they feel just like that a ripoff.
The Alara episode was alone worth more than the entire Discovery and I'm not even a hater. I want to like my Star Trek show.
Season 2 was a vast improvement. Hope S3 happens.
Bortis killed my zeal to watch this show
The Orville is great and I hope there are a lot more seasons of it.
I agree with everything except the last episode. They just threw the science part of science fiction out the window. Oh, they just easily pop inside the event horizon of a black hole where even light can't escape and just sit there. They don't have to fly at slightly faster than lightspeed to not get sucked in. And the whole time travel thing was badly done as well. As soon as Kelly denied Mercer the second date all knowledge of the future should have disappeared from her head as that timeline now never happened much like the doctor vanishing at the end of the episode.
In my opinion the show is one of the best scifi shows on tv in the past ten years .
I don't agree with every part here but this was a good analysis of the Oroville
Most of last episode was really predictable, especially since previously Kelly said no to a second date. Other episodes had this obvious element of what is going to happen and the characters being pretty dumb of not knowing what their actions would lead to .. Then Mercer lectured Kelly about changing timeline yet previously he had that really stupid "principle" of "when in doubt, tell the truth" without obviously any regard to timeline .. I expect such idiocies in The 100, but they are supposed to be young short-sided or just wild beasts. I'd like to see more intelligence in coming season.
If the stories became more intelligent then it wouldn't be a Seth McFarland show and it would lose its uniqueness.
All I can say is I hope season three has less relationship drama. Season one definitely played off some relationship drama, but season two seemed extra focused on it. More sci fi, and less lovey dovey shit would be appreciated.
I actually wish this season would have done more of the humor. Comedy is subjective. I think this show's pretty funny. I thought Season 2 took itself like too seriously. I still love the show, and it's more Star Trek then current Star Trek.
The last episode is not just about Kelly. It's about everyone on that ship. The group shot you showed in Tomorrow, Tomorrow pic. You take any of those people out of that timeline. No one changes Isaac mind and the Kahlon defeats earth. The whole crew is the key to that timeline. That's why the doctor disappeared when she erased Kelly memory. That timeline cease to exist at that moment. The same can be said if the Doctor timeline is charged. I love the theme of the whole season. Were our are past and everything and everyone in our past does have some sort of meaning. That made us look at life a little different or more aware. I got the big theme of this season. Let's see if this commentator catches next season inner theme?
Wouldn’t Netflix pick this show up in a nanosecond if Fox doesn’t renew?
I actually loved the first episode of season 2. In stead of seeing what the ship did, we saw the ship it self. We saw what made it humane, and liveable. The school, something like a retail store, the living quarters in more detail, and finally a bar and a beautiful little restaurant, owned by a friendly host.
The character of Isaac felt too reminiscent of a Data & Borg drone combination, while Seth McFarland & Adrenne Palicki's characters of Ed & Kelly were entirely too reminiscent of Riker & Troi from STTNG. Bortus felt a lot like Worf except worse in various ways. The Krill were somewhat like the Klingons & Romulans. The Chief Engineer character of Lamar was very much like Geordi LaForge, though Lamar is very immature in his humor and actions at times. The Lt Kitan character as the Chief Security Officer was inbetween Worf & Tasha Yar with tons of potential. It was a shame to have her character taken away from the Orville. The season two could have been so way much better than it was. For the Season Three to be shown only on Hulu, has likely killed off the series due to it only going to be season by the Hulu subscribers. Oh well.
The title of the episode "All the World Birthday Cake is a line from The Beatles song It's All Too Much. I would guess that this is a deliberate reference.
On the whole I liked it. The special effects and the imaginative sci-fi ideas are really refreshing but the constant “dating in space” bollocks really began to fuck me off as the season went on.
Every episode this year were about relationship issues within the Orville crew members. I hope next seasons will deal more with science, space discoveries & actions, more like season one.Did you know that transparent aluminum as in Star Trek 4 is now a real thing? Look it up. it's called Alon or aluminum oxynitride.
No, I don't think it did. In fact I thought the writing was very strong for the most part. It takes time for a series to find it's feet, TNG didn' t hit it's stride until season 3 If I remember correctly. I also didn't enjoy every episode of TNG. Voyager or DS9 either. The Orville has likeable characters, excellent direction, and real effort is taken to write convincing episodes. I appreciate that.
I didn't like the season finale. It was so predictable. Once they went to get the protein shot, I knew the Kaylons would attack just to add a little drama. Then when they went to get the Orville I knew that Bortus would be on it. No real twist in the whole episode, just a basic fix the timeline and everything back to normal. But that one episode with the astrology society was by far the worst. I was thinking they jumped the shark with that but I put that episode out of my mind. The rest of season 2 was pretty good.
1:40 me too. At least until 2E7 when Talla became an actual character.
Now if they could make the lighting a little more serious to go with the attenuated humor. It looks a bit silly how bright the lighting is, especially on the Orville ship, like it's a multi-camera sitcom that needs to remove shadows for production purposes.
the universe doesn't have to fit the characters.
it's the characters that are awkward, not the universe.
Yes! Make with season 3 already - it's been almost 2 1/2 years for fuck's sake!
And would it kill them to release the goddamn show on Bluray? It looks absolutely stunning in high def, so their decision to release on DVD only is baffling to say the least...
I love the Ed and Kelly storylines. I honestly think though if you don’t like them together or you don’t like them constantly bringing up the relationship then your going to be highly disappointed in the show period. I honestly think the show is dead straight on having them be the main couple eventually being together.
I don't EVER want to see the Orville go away!!!!
MY OWN THOUGHTS & OPINIONS ON THE SECOND SEASON OF (THE ORVILLE)
Now I thought that the Second Season of (The Orville) was really good, and to add I enjoyed most of the episodes in it.
I just rewatched both seasons and I had this thought: maybe it would've been better to have tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow be the season finale, and then the whole of season 3 (or maybe half) would be the road not taken. maybe it could've been cool.
THE ORVILLE Season 2 - DID IT SUCK? ,,,, yes,,,
