Orville Season 2

[cookinwithgas]

just got around to seeing the first 3 episodes today and it's more impressive this season with the writing and editing. The humor is a little less jarring but still great at times. The relationship with the Captain and First Officer is WAY better this season, in fact it's been downright interesting. They're doing something off the wall with the security chiefs character this year, shes on the show and contracted but shes going to be in a movie with the kid who plays Archie and has been off filming that and other stuff. Patrick Warburton plays her temp replacement in EP3 and yeah its clearly Warburton by his voice but he's pretty funny and they haven't overdone him yet. Visuals are terrific.

They did a whole episode dealing with Bortis' marital and sexual problems; I love how this show continues to find ways to make you think and feel about things in different ways, a lot like TNG did but able to get the drama out there a little farther.

Every show has standalone plots but is fine with setting up continuing story points which I think is a great idea; TNG was always afraid to do that and it took DS9 to really introduce story arcs to Star Trek.

I liked how they revisited the forced sex change and second thoughts. I don't want Alaura gone, tho.

Ya I’m pretty sad about alara. That episode felt like an actual Star Trek episode.

Alara was my favorite character.  I wonder why she left.

Actress had contract disputes. She opted for the other show.

She was my fav too followed by Gordon and La’Marr

Too bad.  Interesting that both this show and the show it parodies had their security officer leave the show after one season.

The question is if the actress will ever come back or if this is planned.

I don't wanna watch Magnum PU, tho.

[cookinwithgas]

I dont blame you, although it had that really funny Korean guy in it.

I'd heard the Alara actress and Seth were an item and the Fox network basically let them know that kind of situation in the workplace wasn't going to happen. So she went on to do other shows and they had a great send off episode for her.

Can not verify this, though.

I loved that they tackled pornography. We've already talked to our son about porn but it was a great conversation starter and really showed the concerning aspects of pornorgraphy.

What is there to be concerned about?
