How could they do this?!


I just saw the new episode called "Home," and now I'm not sure whether I want to cry or hit Seth MacFarlane.

That guy was NOT hot! He was gross and irritating. An "elephant" dude who talks like a surfer, is eats while he's working, has two esophagi, and has no on-screen charisma at all is NOT my idea of a good replacement. In fact, I don't ever wanta see him again!

reply

I hope they replace her with an interesting humanoid character, not that elephant-trunk dude.

reply

They're replacing her with another woman from Xelaya. The actress is Jessica Szohr.

It doesn't actually make sense. She has all these praises about working with the crew of the Orville and how kind the Union military has been to her, while her family treated her like dirt because she wasn't quite as intelligent as the rest of them.

And then, after one adventure where her asshole daddy finally admits he was wrong, she decides "Oh, I'm not gonna go back to Orville, despite this miracle cure you made for me doc. I'm gonna go home and 'find myself' and reconnect with dear old shithead dad. The last year and a half meant nothing to me, bye!"

reply

She's every bit as intelligent as any of them. But they're snobs and look down on her because she isn't interested in spending her life in academia.

reply

I know! It's ridiculous that they have such high standards that they treat her like a retard, despite the fact that she's still intelligent in her own way. She's just not a super-genius like they all are.

Daddy issues, it's always Daddy issues.

The reals reason is of course that Halston stopped sleeping with the boss.

reply

Wasn't her departure common knowledge before the first episode of this show ever even aired?

reply

You seriously think everyone's gonna hear about that?

reply

I had no idea seth dated her until i found ego tastic funtime recently, i dont even own a tv , dont really like people magazine

reply

I learned all that stuff here. I never would have known as an average viewer.

That episode really got ugly for a moment when the father had to put his hand into the boiling food.

Did anyone notice that the two previous doctors from previous series were in this show together?
