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 haven't caught up with the most recent season, but I really liked all adventures the crew went on. One thing I did remember wishing was for the show to drop the Ed and Kelly relationship subplot, since I liked the more friends and professional dynamic. And I miss Alara too, and wish she'd be part of the crew again.
Pretty sure Seth and the actress that played Alara (Halston Sage) dated IRL and broke up which is why I suspect she left the role.
I believe she left for a movie career... that started with X-Men Dark Phoenix, which lost over $100 million at the box office.
Alara comes back, but just not as a crew member.
I think that’s my least favorite part about the show is that awkward relationship.
They should have written some other role for them.
