Has anyone been looking at the IMDB poll contest between "The Orville" and "Discovery??"
As of now, "The Orville" wins by a landslide,

I don't think there's been any measurement of viewer sentiment which has rated satisfaction with STD as remarkably high; The Orville "wins" all these things: Metacritic, RT, IMDB...
Not that it means anything. As far as the number of viewers, there's no way to know - none of the accurate streaming numbers are made available. That said, one might assume that with fifty years of advance publicity STD is running hotter than Orville.
Dark Horse Comics has announced a new two-issue The Orville comic, which will be a prequel to the Road Not Taken.
I still need to check out the first two comics they did, but I have heard good things.

The thing about viewer rating averages for Discovery is it's the kind of show where its detractors feel so offended by its existence because of their prescriptive view of the franchise they care about that they'll go further out of their way to vote in the polls and vote lower to drag the average down to make a point.
You can't compare two polling averages to mean anything unless all the same people voted in both polls, and nobody voting had an agenda to influence the outcome.
The detractors are always disproportionately represented when a new entry in a big franchise is divisive.

It's true people try to game the system but people who like the show will also do the same. It's why you can't always trust polls or reviews. Unless it's a reviewer you trust. Jason
Maybe not in the first season, but it has definitely become an ensemble show.
I liked it fine.
Does anyone know when Orville is coming back?
Latest reports say late 2021. It hasn’t been cancelled. Just that COVID put a delay on things. With it being a Hulu show now I assume they have to wait until all the episodes are done before releasing them.
^According to an earlier article that was posted about what would happen after season 3. The gist was that he said he wouldn't want to appear on screen anymore due to having other projects keeping him busy, and that he possibly wants to kill off Captain Mercer at the end of the season, while Hulu said they wouldn't want the show to continue on without him. No idea if there's any truth to that though. But we have to consider that it was being moved to Hulu before the Disney acquisition, and that aside from Covid, there might be other issues at play.

Yeah, that's quoting the internet equivalent of the Weekly World News. They post articles filled with their own wish fulfilment fantasy scenarios and pretend it's all real.
