I told you that you’d love it. It was Billy Joel songs wasn’t it?
Haha, that definitely helped. It’s just a fascinating premise in general though.

Remember at the end of the season premiere when Ed is at the bar and says, "You know what would be great right now? A Krill invasion". Seconds later, in walks "Janelle".

At the end of the latest episode (the birthday one) make sure you guys watch Gordon, John and Isaac. Great stuff.

This one with the doctor going on a date with Isaac was pretty good. I like Bortus' mustache

AH! What a great episode! I love this show so much.

My wife has been saying for a while that Isaac reminds her of me, which has made her crush on him a little bit, so she was super wrapped up in this episode. It’s even weirder because the doctor reminds me of her in little ways. I dunno. Odd.

The mustache was the absolute best. I wish he’d kept it a few episodes.

So disappointed when my wife and I went to watch a new episode last night and discovered they skipped a week. :(

I needed a fix, so I watched a couple episodes of Deep Space Nine. You know, I gotta say I really, really missed that extra dose of humor in The Orville, and I kinda think they might have inadvertently stumbled onto a missing magic ingredient that could have made Trek even better. Yes, most Trek is already very playful, but that jokey rapport between the cast of The Orville really endears them to an extra degree and helps me become involved in their plight.

Yeah, they can get pretty deep.

Last night's episode "Identity" was great as well, with a twist I didn't see coming.

Just watched “Identity”. Wow. I don’t know how I feel about this.

CBS are morons for not letting MacFarlane do a Trek show.

I guess, in their defense, he’s probably the last guy I would have expected to pull this off like he has. Good for him.

1. I wasn't big into Star Trek anyway, so this was strike one against it.

2. While some things in Family Guy are funny, I didn't care for it and never watched past the first few seasons. Strike two.


But heck if this show isn't fun and gripping.

Well, part 2 was a predictable disappointment.

I guess, but I still liked the second part.
