Season 3 was an absolute FLOP

First 2 seasons, great. Then they ran out of ideas. The Orville lost its mojo in season 3.

New writers? Who knows. But singalongs and fluffy sob stories will be the death rattle of this show. There's no way season 4 is happening unless they go back in time and kill the writers.

That last episode... YAWN. The Dr. Claire Finn character is boring. They should have killed her and her kids off long ago. Then Issac could have taken revenge or something. Instead... a boring romance and wedding? Oh God it was awful.

If I wanted to watch women sitting around cackling about wedding dresses I'd watch Kardashians or Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Wrong. Not enough humor, but I really enjoyed it.

It's finally a straight-up sci-fi drama.

And it's great.

Its been hit and miss with me, for every good episode there 2 boring or dragged on too long episodes, i prefer 50 min episodes rather then 80 min ones, they seem to be just filling those extra minutes rather having snappy compact episodes like in earlier seasons.

MovieLoader? SHUT THE FUCK UP!

The Orville is FINALLY what it should BE: A nice, entertaining, sensible alternative to the Kurtzman Trek CRAP!

I for one actually prefer Serious Seth to Comedy Seth. Long may that continue.

nice, entertaining, sensible

Ewwww! I wanna throw up in my mouth.

That scene where Dr Finn asks her kids for permission to marry Issac, and they're like "whatever makes you happy mom", and cue the cheesy flutes and gleeful faces of the happy family... OMG whoever wrote that scene needs to be put down.

And the scene in last episode where that boring visitor chick has a heart to heart with Kelly in front of the ship's power core. 4 minute conversation, where nothing is said, just back and forth wishy washy mundane crap. I challenge you to watch that scene which starts at 40:10 and not wanna kill yourself.

Episode 6 - bikie loses arm wrestle, and just hands over keys to 2 bikes... because the girl made the terms of the bet, so they had no choice? And the terms are that if she loses, they "choose", implying they can have their way with her sexually because she's apparently that hot? Holy shit that was retarded writing. Those bikies were chilling in the bar playing pool, they weren't rapists and murderers. The dude she made the bet with looked so clean LOL.

There's a reason Seth MacFarlane only does the voices on Family Guy. He can't write for shit. I'll be a bit kinder and say his consistency is shithouse. I'm guessing he doesn't take enough drugs in his old age.

Yeah I am digging Serious Seth. Looking forward to Season 4 if possible.

Overall, not that great, but it did have some excellent episodes. Season 3 Ep 1 (Suicide) and Season 3 Ep 9 (Death).

We're living in interesting times.....
I'm in my 40's and I'd say hollywood is essentially broken.
Just like news media, it would appear that it got broken by internet (or streaming).

Budgets for cartoons are now 200 million - that's not a typo - lol
Corruption/money laundering is at an all time high - everyone is trying to get the last bucks, before the entire system crashes into the ground and starts a revolution

Aside from that, if you want to avoid the new normal woke BS, you need to start rewatching stuff from 15 years ago and earlier. Seems like that's when the gaslighting began en masse.

You have no idea what "flop" means. Only trolls use it in a title.
