Page 3 of [VIDEO] The Orville

Agree it was interesting watching an artificial life form coping with children (reminded me of data in Star Trek TNG, which this show is copying). 

Just like TNG being dated to the 80's with everyone in the USA visiting shrinks. It seems old fashioned now.

Already i can see us looking back at this series, where kids are playing with smart phone games (aka: early 21 century). Who know what they will be doing in the real future. Maybe back to skipping ropes, he he.

Latest episode should have been called 'really weird alien sex'.......SPOILER:
with blue aliens and green blobs, Captain Kirk would have been proud 
The 'lift music' joke throughout this episode was so funny, especially the punch line by the Commander near the end, fell about laughing at her comment.....

SPOILER:
Is this your job to be in elevators 
And Stef Mcfarlane did a very good impersonation of Ricky Jervais during the very awkward 'groovy' speech. I though it was Ricky for a moment.

'Firestorm'...Another good episode with creepy clowns, hairy spiders and nightmarish senario's and funny jokes of course 

Now quite as up to the usual standard, but good all the same.

'New dimensions'...slipping into a 2D universe.

Stories are going a bit downhill now away from the usual standards, graphics were just like TRON in the 2D world, and just a meaningless eye candy background. Need to get back up to speed with better stories for the next series. Assuming there is one.

Oh forgot I had another episode of this to watch!

Starting to catch up on some TV... Just watched Majority Rule. I like how they are using parody to make serious points about the state of the world.

Yeh, Majority rule is one of the best episodes so far. Jut hits social media for six :D

More than social media, takes a good nice long swipe at labelling things "fake news" because you don't agree with them, and how for some people opinion is more important than facts.

Well the final episode (i think) of the season was just fantastic, really great take on the Prime Directive and really looking forward to the new series whenever we get it.

Starts on Fox this Thursday at 2100 hrs...
