THE ORVILLE Season Three...

If by Mirror Universe we mean alternate universe where everyone is evil treacherous murderers and Bortus has a goatee, than no I have no real interest in seeing that and don't really see what Orville could add to that trope. Now, if they did an alternate reality where The Orville is grim-dark and everyone is miserable and hates each other, that could be fun. A riff on BSG to counterpoint Orville's typical riff on Star Trek.
 
I think alternate universes are a much more fun science fiction premise than Trek's "MIrror Universe" has turned out to be. The two-part finale this year is one example among many of writers extrapolating what effect a few differences might have on everything going forward - the Mirror Universe is a rather illogical inversion of that, in which no matter how many differences you introduce, way too many things remain the same.
 
Oh, come one; sure we can have a Mirror Unvierse episode that doesn't do really anything other than make us laugh and think some. Can't we also have some fun or does every episode have to accomplish something?

I'm not saying it has to be a comedy, but geez.

An attitude like that would have robbed us of the "Angel" episode where angel became a bloody puppet.
 
I'm sure Orville could do a fun twist on the Mirror Universe. Like a horrible dystopia where everybody is politically correct and prudish. :rommie: Ed could introduce Mirror Kelly to marijuana. "Captain Mercer, I shall toke it under consideration."

I'm thinking how about mirror universe Still 1980.
Everyone has big hair, tight blue jeans and white tennis shoes. It's a crime to wear flat hair:wah:
