    Big big disagree with you there homie. McFarlane felt WAY out of his element when Orville switched to a purely serious motif. I couldn’t finish the season which killed me because I had such high hopes. Every single character felt like they were in the passive aggressive cold shoulder portion of a marriage fight. Honestly couldn’t give a shit if it comes back for a fourth season.

      For me, I think the thing holding the Orville back the most is honestly Seth as the captain. I feel the same way about just McFarlane specifically. I know it’s his passion project and he wants to be the star trek captain, and I get that, right there with ya, but I feel like it’s his character kinda pulling the other characters in a specific way that kinda ruins the attempt at a serious vibe sometimes.
