[Vanity] I'm Done...The "Orville" has Jumped the Shark...for me.

[crusty old prospector]

Is the show about popcorn?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Was the “hero” the only qualified pilot/starship operator/essential crewman?

No. The ostensibly "artificial" humanoid...android was already on the craft and could have easily piloted the 30...and possibly 31...people to safety.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s a shame that the lefty mentality has destroyed contemporary television (and established) works from Western culture

[Incorrigible]

You expected them to kill off one of the main characters at the start of the second season?

[JoSixChip]

Tuned in for a minute last night only to see 2 males kissing. Moved on never to return.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I didn't expect much given the subtle undertones from previous episodes. But this one was a slap in the face and a wake up. I'm sorry...I strayed. Time to start reading the case book of Sherlock Holmes...again. Why didn't the dog bark?

[central_va]

Read a book. If you like Sci Fi I recommend Dune.

[DoughtyOne]

Can’t argue with that.

I always said Clinton never advanced beyond 14.

I always said Obama never advanced beyond 7.

[Kickass Conservative]

Watched it and all I could think about is some Family watching it with their Kids and then having to “explain” it.

If it was a Movie rather than a TV Show, it would be rated at least PG-13. At the very least they should have Posted a warning about the subject matter.

They really overdid the Holideck scenes, that’s for sure.

One question, why wasn’t the Creature who gave the guy the new Holideck Porno Program blamed for the Computer Virus?

[VanShuyten]

I’m kind of surprised you watched that episode after last week’s “Bortis’ yearly urination ceremony” episode, not to mention things from last season.

[fatima]

So you forgave gay porn.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Ah...Dune. Read them all. 20 years ago. Read the first one twice. They still haven't made a worthwhile film of it yet.

But...good news...I have read that Bezos has ordered his people to create a Dune feature length film...or mini-series of....Ringworld...for Prime. Fingers crossed that we get to see Louis Wu and his Motley Crew. I can't wait to see who plays Teela.

[nopardons]

No, you get NO “slack at all AND you posted this drivel to NEWS/ACTIVISM!

[LeonardFMason]

Babylon 5 was great.

I’ll pass on anything Seth McFarland is in.

[BradyLS]

I’ve only seen a little bit of The Orville. I liked what I saw, but can understand that there could be a lot I wouldn’t care for.

I’d have to see the episode to render a judgement, but you did right to make it a vanity. This sort of discussion is what vanities were made for, I think.

The closest reference for comparison that I have to your episode is one from The Next Generation where Worf, who had been established by that point in the series that anyone could kick his azz, beat up a “gay” security guard on some planet. It didn’t make Worf look tough so much as make a “gay” alien look especially frail.

I didn’t care for that episode, either, as it was built up to be an episode that was supposed something positive about gays but simply fell flat as a poor episode. Maybe it did say something positive after all, but all my friends and I can remember is that Worf beat up a weak alien in a forgettable Next Generation episode.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

That was one of the things that started me on the road to...Oh hell no. Forgave? Not so much. The androgyny was their bypass I suppose. Or so they thought.

[Fungi]

Granted, now go over to your TV, turn it off, and throw it out the window.

[TigersEye]

I think 0bungles made it to 8, DO.
8 is the age when maladjusted boys become the most insufferable smartasses and liars.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

My mistake. I thought I was posting in Chat. I had two windows going at the same time.

Have it deleted by the Admin/Mod if you like.

Note to self- Belated New Year’s Resolution #x- I will make a determined effort to spend my irreplaceable finite discretionary time in a more meaningful way.
