News Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville

But they weren't even the characters for the most part, but holographic duplicates. So anything learned about anyone was for nought, any character progression reset to zero at the end.

But we did learn about the characters, as it was their fears Isaac used to populate the holo-program.
 
I loath reset buttons in general as a matter of principal, but Firestorm I don't mind since it was primarily a character piece for Alara, and her character development still happened in the end so the episode isn't a complete write-off.

As for holodeck stories in general, I'll admit I could have been glad to never see another one again. But then seeing Mexican Banditos dancing to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was the best holodeck scene ever, which I must admit, if Orville did a holodeck malfunction inexplicably threatens the ship episode, it could actually be pretty entertaining. Though if they never did one, that would be just as fine by me.
 
Firestorm was one of my favorite episodes, it was one of the best uses of a holodeck I've ever seen, and I loved the development we got for Alara. Some of the fears they used were also pretty good, like the evil clown, and the empty ship.

And then, of course, there was Justin The Beheaded.

The simulator room on Orville really is pretty entertaining, because the writers recognize and use it rightly as a trivial piece of nonsense good mainly for gags. Here's hoping they never get the bright idea that some kind of holodeck ghost should be a regular crew member, or something. :lol:
