"Level 10 is she's married and has a gun."
I love this show.
I'm not sure why I gave this episode 7/10… it's not that good. All the relationship drama is boring because I don't have any reason to care about the characters. Maybe I'm just happy to be on a starship, even if it is one rife with anachronistic references to our recent past.
(And I lied about not caring for the characters. Alara deserves everything and more!)
... Well that sucked.
Talk about a boring drama heavy episode
It's great to see The Orville back but this episode was a bit to relationship heavy for my taste. When I read written and directed by MacFarlane I was worried a bit because his episodes weren't the best in season one to be honest.
But "The Great Release" - that is a hilarious idea to come up with.
Aaaannd, nobody thought to check any security cameras in the room where James meddled with the food synthesizers? There’s gotta be security cameras on this ship right? Not even a mention of James tampering with any cameras to not get caught? Come on.
I really liked Jason Alexander in the bartender's role...couldn't even guess it was him. Just a crusty, mature edge to the character...kind of a cross between Humphrey Bogart and Robert Loggia perhaps, but he disappears into the role -- and, it's not the mask!
I want STAR TREK with a lot of funny and clever dialogue. This was DAYS OF OUR LIVES set in space, and mostly not funny..
Who needs Discovery when we can have this? The best Star Trek series currently out there.
And I was expecting Bortus to say something like "I can't pee when you're all looking at me."
I wait it for so long
Can’t wait for The Orville’s new adventures...
This is a terrible season opener; a very weak and boring episode where virtually nothing of any plot consequence, or interest, happens except for Bortus urinating - a scene which, unsurprisingly, took less than two minutes. The situation between Marcus and James was the only saving grace, although even that was confusing as to why nobody (even Isaac, but perhaps he was deliberately not intervening for research purposes?) thought to check security camera footage or the logs as soon as it became clear that a serious conflict was occurring, just as @WillKatePatterson said in their comment. Isaac made this entire side story worthwhile as it helped to cement a really strong bond between himself and the Finn family. The love stories are just boring and irritating, with the exception of Alara's and Dann's 'date', which was mildly amusing. I'm glad that subsequent episodes returned to the previous fine form seen at the end of S1, because this one is the worst in the entire two seasons.
Relationship drama is the least appealing aspect of this show. Let me forget this first episode.
We return to this series that seems more Star Trek than Discovery itself. Parents who do not know their children and you have to be surrounded by friends for your "important acts"
man this show is lit!!!!!
It cracked the hell out of me laughing when Gordon went to speak to the new girl, and instead of talking to her, he goes in a circle! LOL XD
That was a good first episode tbh.
Really loved this episode. Gets better and better....
I thought him and Kelly were an item at the end of last season. I didn't expect her to pull this "but what if you have to sacrifice me and you refuse to" crap.
I want Malloy's jacket for my halloween costume

And they're back to give Discovery a run for its money!
Well, actually... This wasn't the best season opener ever (in fact, it was one of the weakest episodes, so far), and that last scene was soooo predicable, but I'm glad to be aboard the Orville, once more. And I'm also happy to be there for Bortus during such a special moment of his life. We all take peeing for granted, unaware of how unique and beautiful of an event relieving oneself can be.
