When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by season 2 I found myself loving this show.

To me it seems as every bit as comfy, intellectually interesting and even funny as some classic Star Treks while still clearly being its own thing. I wish more comfy space shows like this would get made.

What are your thoughts on The Orville? Also I miss Alara.

    Because of the movie? It was pretty ridiculous but that’s what ya get when fans complain.

      There was a Farscape movie? I’m talking about how the show “ends”.

      Edit: Just looked it up - there was apparently a three hour mini-series that I had no idea about. Time to find out what happens…
