THE ORVILLE Season Two...

Ha! That's two Star Trek doctors this show has gotten. I wonder if they might some day end up with all of them. Well, all the living ones, since DeForest Kelley might be difficult to get on the show.
Would it count if they got Karl Urban on an episode?

So, evidently Scott Grimes and Adrianne Palicki are dating.

Huh.
Wow, that is not a pairing I would have expected.
 
Not for me! The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.

I think it can become the same thing I dislike about Discovery: too much wink-nodding at the audience throws me out of the story. Discovery does it in-universe, The Orville is seemingly doing it out-of-universe, but it ends up being the same result to me: an over reliance on nostalgia.
 
Nah, but there will be a race called the Bjorn.

They are a race of techno zombies that assimilate people, and also deadpan to one liners. And fart.

That sounds far more interesting than most of the Borg stories we ended up with. Sign me up.
 
There was a Douglas Adams-y comedy sci-fi novel from years back that was pretty good. One of the concepts it had was aliens that could only communicate via farting. It was crazy in a sort of nonsensical way, but inventive and good fun. Last House in the Galaxy it was called.
