Orville Season 2

just got around to seeing the first 3 episodes today and it's more impressive this season with the writing and editing. The humor is a little less jarring but still great at times. The relationship with the Captain and First Officer is WAY better this season, in fact it's been downright interesting. They're doing something off the wall with the security chiefs character this year, shes on the show and contracted but shes going to be in a movie with the kid who plays Archie and has been off filming that and other stuff. Patrick Warburton plays her temp replacement in EP3 and yeah its clearly Warburton by his voice but he's pretty funny and they haven't overdone him yet. Visuals are terrific.

They did a whole episode dealing with Bortis' marital and sexual problems; I love how this show continues to find ways to make you think and feel about things in different ways, a lot like TNG did but able to get the drama out there a little farther.

Every show has standalone plots but is fine with setting up continuing story points which I think is a great idea; TNG was always afraid to do that and it took DS9 to really introduce story arcs to Star Trek.

Actress had contract disputes. She opted for the other show.

She was my fav too followed by Gordon and La’Marr

Too bad.  Interesting that both this show and the show it parodies had their security officer leave the show after one season.

I'd heard the Alara actress and Seth were an item and the Fox network basically let them know that kind of situation in the workplace wasn't going to happen. So she went on to do other shows and they had a great send off episode for her.

Can not verify this, though.

I loved that they tackled pornography. We've already talked to our son about porn but it was a great conversation starter and really showed the concerning aspects of pornorgraphy.

What is there to be concerned about?

    • 99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.  
    • Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.
    • They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
