The Orville (FOX) Season 2 December 30, 2018

[Tyrath]

No official reason given but she is filming a movie that films same time as the Orville so that could be it.

Her and Seth MacFarlane were also dating and broke up so that could also be it.

Seth not following that half your age + 7 rule.

[Tyrath]

He's 45, she's 25.

45/2 + 7 = 29.5

???

[Kaslo]

He's 45, she's 25.

45/2 + 7 = 29.5

???

yeah she's under 29

[Tyrath]

Derp moment lol I swapped the numbers in my head even as I typed it out.

[Dantrag]

Great show. Got all caught up in watching it. One of the best Sci-Fi shows I've seen. Maybe not quite BSG season 1 and 2 or FireFly, but it's pretty fucking good.

[Eragon]

The more I see Star Trek cameos in Orville the more I lament Discovery and what they are doing. Hoping the Picard series delivers.

Alara leaving sucks, especially considering how big this show can potentially get and how long it might run for. I read they are replacing her with another female of her race.

[Cantih]

She got Tasha Yar-ed. Can't wait to see her again in season five as a half-Krill.
On that note, where the fuck is Commander Grayson's beard?

[Kaslo]

I read they are replacing her with another female of her race.

They kind of address that too.

Also, I've heard Alara may be back in the crew by season end.

[Tyrath]

Hope so, new lady doesn't do it for me.

This so much. Alara has a ridiculous amount of charm to her for whatever reason.

[Kachiko]

Pat her on the head, tell her she's a good girl, and ask her to open a jar of pickles. Ship it.

So Star Trek's Starfleet Academy is located on Regor 2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy

I keep laughing when the local university library keeps showing up on exterior shots.

Also it was a Cylon base in the 1970s version of Battlestar Galactica.

[Kaslo]

I'm still surprised the people referred to their own planet as "2"

[Tyrath]

Maybe it was called Regorto

So, when this weeks episode started, I thought, "god, not another weird doctor situation, like last season", and then the just knocked it out of the park; several times. Feels like they sometimes take an idea in ST:TNG and expand upon, it, 1-upping things, and this episode had plenty of that, from the symphony recital scene, to the main plot of the episode. Bravo Ovrille, bravo.

Was another good ep. Def was like ummm k. But meh w/e lol. Was still interesting. His human form reminded me of Sheldon lol.

[Tyrath]

That last episode. This show. Goddamn.

[Kaslo]

There was like no humor in that episode and I was totally okay with it. Who knew a Seth MacFarlane show could be so great without humor.

[Vaspinne]

I really enjoyed the episode but was the first season as relationship issue heavy as this one has been so far? In 6 episodes, 3 or 4 have been primarily about relationships
