Yeah, what's up with that?

I think I watched the first six episodes on Hulu, and it's been about a month since they've put up any new episodes.

Weird.  Maybe I need to do a reboot on my streaming device.

If the Alliance had tier one fighters like the Krill, they wouldn't need Krill help fighting the toasters.

Also have to agree about the nose to nose bit.  Does no one have stand-off weapons in the future?

That’s one of the VFX guys on the show.
I watched the episode on my tablet and couldn’t tell if there were any in the battle.

Just started watching this show a few days ago, watched one earlier they we're doing repairs to and in a tool box was an AR armorer wrench.

CBS announced in January they are moving ST:Discovery to... Thursday evening at 8:30, obviously as a direct challenge to The Orville.

Pretty silly for an online only show, but I like it.  I woke up Friday morning at 1:45am and watched the Orville first, then STD.

STD is getting better but I still dislike everything about burnham.  Both the actress and the entire premise of her character.  Just rubbish.

The Orville is still my favorite thing to watch.

Watched part 2 last night and my jaw is on the floor! Fantastic. I haven't watched a big space armada battle on the edge of my seat in a long, long time.

Show deserves an Emmy for that two-episode arc, but some stupid doctor show will win instead.

Also, I get it that those fucking kids were integral to the evolution of Isaac and a necessary plot device, but I don't want to see either of them again for very long time.

cool. I couldn't find the season one thread, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw that.

I always like seeing funny stuff in scifi set design... thule cargo boxes as rockets, or horribly misused tools.

I gotta admit its better than I thought it would be...he almost seems to be taking it more seriously as it goes on.

I was expecting Seth to write the scene as a snub to all those goofy tools the past ST used and have one guy say, "Hand me a 14mm box end".

I'm really wanting to like The Orville but stuff like the kids' part in the 2-part episode is making it difficult.  And what's with these starships not having any kind of intelligent aiming technology?  They have a holodeck and food replicators but still have to manually aim their weapons.

A lot of the old Trek people have been working on it from the beginning.

Brannon Braga is a producer.

Awesome episode on multiple levels!

The hilarious cigarette bits along side the rather deep reflections on the time capsule, life, and relationships came together quite nicely.

Chuckled just as soon as I heard Tim Russ's voice on the open. He's definitely showing his age but then again, I am too.

And Leighton Meester really can sing! I've heard her name before but never seen or heard her in anything but I was definitely impressed with her voice.

This and the last episode are why The Orville blows STD out of the water. When they tell a good story they do it amazingly well and don't need movie quality effects or massive amounts of shaky cam and lens flares to do it.

I know they had their crap episodes this season but on a whole, the signal to noise ratio is pretty damn good. Dare I say, maybe better than most Star Trek (leaving STD out) which definitely had it's share of stinkers. I hope it continues to be as good or better.

More than a little bummed about the 3 week break and there only being 3 episodes left in the season. What ever happened to 22-26 episode TV seasons?

Nothing has ever come close to B5s space battles.

Unfortunately Orville hasn't learned the lesson from TNG. People fucking hate kids in episodes. The docs kids are the equivalent of Westley. Thankfully they aren't as ever present as that sweater wearing dork.

Stop letting your female doctors drag their damn kids on board!

Good episode that didn't have to rely on special effects. I was highly sceptical with the start of Season 2, but it's getting better.

They missed a chance for a damn good WTF? moment at the end when Lt. Malloy's GF had her fiance take a picture of them together with her cellphone, and having the picture be discovered on the original cellphone from the time capsule.

Wow, srsly?  This episode had me fucking lactating!  And while the girl could carry a tune, her voice was nothing special.  Also, this has been done before; anyone ever heard of a movie called "Laura"?

Boortus and his nicotine fixation was pretty funny, though.

I missed this last episode due to a DVR failure but I'll catch it.

So far this season I've been impressed at the way things are coming along.

At this time The Orville is the only show I record on the DVR.  It's becoming good TV.  That's kinda rare these days.

2000 channels of shit, with the occasional penny in it.  That's cable TV today.  Orville has become one of those rare pennies worth searching for.
