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.
It's kind of in (potentially permanent) limbo now though. Which is also like Firefly.
i dunno man, firefly was kinda deliberately and clearly murdered >_> they released a movie that killed people off and shit
Well, the show was murdered, too. Fox refused to air episode in order and kept moving the time slot.
That was tragic 😭
