Seth MacFarlane's "The Orville"

[Hector]

I thought it was quite the opposite...

It's starting to look like there won't be a Season 2. It's said Fox isn't happy with the declining ratings.

I enjoyed this episode, but I thought Black Mirror's "Nosedive" episode handled the social-media-gone-awry-society with more nuance.

I was just reading this review that mentioned the same thing..

I haven't seen any Black Mirror, but I fully intend to binge it this winter.

I loved the episode.

I enjoyed this episode, but I thought Black Mirror's "Nosedive" episode handled the social-media-gone-awry-society with more nuance. I am still thrilled to have an unapologetic science fiction show on network television!

I think it would have hit harder if something like Alara's hat "offense" had been the impetus for the story (but not with her character because that would have been a whole other story) instead of making it to where Lt. Lamarr can never, ever be on an away team again. Ever. For any reason.

Otherwise, I thought it was some pretty good (obvious) social commentary. Not a bad episode, but not as good as some of the others have been.

great episode, the best line for me was "I sing".

[Sideshow Spock]

I dunno, this one didn't hold my attention too well. Two down votes for boring and dopey

10 million upvotes for the latest episode. The show keeps getting better and better.

I tried watching it and I had to turn it off it was SOOOO bad, despite Palicki's fetching appearance in the outfit....

[Nostalgiabuff]

i am curious to see that version of WW but I heard it was really, really bad

[Sideshow Spock]

Have you seen her as Wonder Woman?

[palitoy]

Really starting to dig the show more than ever now and noticed that while I used to watch it alone, the whole family is coming by.

Edited to add: Did anyone else get the vibe that they were doing a little homage to the opening of "Twilight Zone the Movie" by playing CCR and then both turning into whiteface monsters?

I have no clue about Shield, as I don’t watch it.
