Season 4, Episode 02

September 19th 2022

For this episode I felt I had to look at the absolutely incredible Orville, and as a huge Star Trek fan I felt it hard to discuss without making the obvious and invited comparison to the classic franchise that so clearly inspired Seth MacFarlane to create it.

Personally I think the Orville is absolutely incredible, despite its rough beginning, and the then recent New Horizons series serves as a science fiction standout easily equal to, if not better than some of the best of Star Trek.
