Very much enjoyed last eve's episode, though I have to say the 2nd episode last week was a little sexually over the top for me,,!

I haven't seen the last one, but yeah, the one before that was a bit... special. I get what they were going at, but still.

All caught up. I loved the last two episodes. VERY reminiscent of Star Trek Next Gen episodes. Especially the last one with the planet that believes in Astrology.

I saw the third episode last night. Really enjoyed it. Though, it's kinda pathetic that he was still in love with what was admitted acting.

It's funny. The new Star Trek series feels like the reboot movies, while The Orville feels like old fashioned Star Trek

Okay just finished watching the Orville two-parter and I must say that was a great episode. Really felt the most like a next generation episode. They weren't bashful about having dark moments.

The humour was still there but very lightly and just right.

Just watched the most recent episode. I can't say I ever expected them to go so epic.
