I'd be interested! This show is so underrated.

I felt it was kind of a slow start. I'm really sick of Claire being such a dumbass. "But he has feeeeelings!!" And her kids are just as annoying as ever lol.

But it was nice to see LeMarr with more screen time!! I'm not sure how I feel about Charly yet (why do they have to super glam the girls up?? Her makeup makes her and Kelly almost indistinguishable!) and I'm hanging out for more Bortus.

I liked that they're dealing with the ramifications of Ed's choice to reinstate Isaac. Tbh I agree with Charly. Like, couldn't you keep him aboard but in a less prominent, important position???

I was also happy to see John with more screentime! He was so underutilized in season 2, it was almost criminal.

Just watched the opener, and I don't know what to feel. I'm glad they dealt with the consequences from last season, but urgh, I don't know.

Also, I'm sick of the manual override being on the wrong side of the door. That's just bad safety practices.

If I ever write a space show or book, I am going to lampshade that so hard.

I am seriously impressed with the restraint they showed in the premiere. Almost no jokes and a very mature handling of some truly serious subject matter. It's just straight up Star Trek now.

Interestingly enough, American Dad had a really good episode about Stan getting a bad eating disorder that was done so well. But yeah I was really impressed with this Orville episode too!

Love this show! Even though my son had to remind me what the hell was going on ten years ago when the last season was on.

I'm here for discussion posts, I love this show! And I'm glad it's finally back.

This last episode was actually pretty serious and deep. I felt bad for Isaac because at the end of the day he still went against his own people and yet the crew hates him. I guess that's what happens when you're the audience. I don't like the romance either though lol.

I'm definitely going to try and submit some episode discussion posts every Thursday evening! Since it's on streaming I don't know when people typically watch it, hopefully Thursday evening posts work for everyone.

I felt bad for Isaac too. I think he's my second favorite character from the main crew now (first favorite is the captain).
