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.

I feel similarly. The lack of comedy in season 3 really hurt the overall quality of the show imo

To me it was too much of a focus on the new.character, I forget her name.

Also not every series needs to be serialized.

Yeah the forced insert of the new character was annoying. Its sad that seth mcfarlanes love life affects the characters and plot lines in the show. Alara was one of my favorite characters
