Your thoughts on The Orville?
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.

I enjoyed it at first, but I think season three was when the balance between comedy and seriousness made it fall apart a bit. Are we doing fart jokes or serious drama here?
Couple that with Seth driving off actors or elevating them to be main cast because he's sleeping with them, and my wife and I just couldn't get in to season 3. Thoroughly enjoyed the previous two light-hearted seasons with a touch of drama and trekiness.
Whaaa? Who left/got elevated because Seth was sleeping with them?
The first security officer left when her relationship with Seth fell apart, and the new main character in Season 3 was sleeping with him.
Huh, I thought he was gay.
I did not know that. Though what you said by itself doesn't imply causality. That hiring/firing was motivated by sleeping together.
Yeah, I'm sure the actress who was sleeping with the creator and star of the show just got tacked on to the main cast in season three because she's a great actor. She's not a great actor.
The 2 security girls/women.
