Due to Covid shutdowns, we had to scrap one episode of The Orville: New Horizons. It was an outlier-a conceptually experimental story. Rather than let

The orville was truly a pleasant discovery, I really enjoy it as a show.

I'm so happy to hear that! I keep trying to convince a friend and her husband to try it out and I guess they're just dead-set against it. I wish I could get a bullhorn and shout about how much I love it from the rooftops though. I wish I was a famous celebrity and had the chance to go on and on about how much I love it in a big interview or something.

My favorite TV show of all time was FRINGE and they have a VERY similar plotline unfold as this last episode of The Orville, but their execution (in my humble opinion) was incredibly disappointing. They basically just erased what happened and there were no consequences for anyone involved. The fact that -- so far - they've handled the same plotline 100% better in EVERY respect... The Orville is now my absolute favorite show of all time now.

I was one of those people who super-resisted watching this show lol if it helps you sell it to people? Like I saw the initial ads for it and thought, Seth MacFarlane? Doing a Star Trek parody? Please just kill me instead?

I am one of those people who are NOT a huge fan of Galaxy Quest lol I didn't find it nearly as charming as everyone else seems to so I was especially not here for The Family Guy Dude's parody

but then my roommate sat me down and basically forced me to watch it and it felt like such a love letter more than a parody that I was instantly charmed. It just hits these intangible notes in style and setting and fuck, even the score? and aesthetic that is the exact kind of sci-fi I want and need in my life

OMG thank your roommate for introducing you to the show for me 🤣 My friend is an online friend so I can't force her to watch it. I've written blog entries about it and she doesn't even read them, I don't think. Oh well.

it's like a warm hug in television form
