    I would be happy for a fourth season, but I didn’t much appreciate the third. Better production, though, so bonus points.

    Second season was pretty brilliant in its balance. Also, third season misses a lot of the banter between crew members, which I sorely missed :(

    Thank god! I’ve been a fan since it was announced way back when. For Christmas this year, my sister-in-law bought me “The World of Orville” and the physical collection of the comics, as she knew I bought the digital ones.

    I very much look forward to another season!

      If you read the article it’s pretty clear that he is in denial of a dying project. The other actors are tired of him faffing about and are doing other projects. Even if it lives another season its not going to be good.

    The word is that he hogs the writing for the show. This is the main reason for no season 4.

    Meanwhile, Disney want to show to go back to the season 1 format of a joke every minute. I’m not a fan of the painful jokes from season 1.

    Production for the show was also painfully slow to the point where some of the actors were living on ramen noodles.

    It’s not going to happen

      Season 1 was Family Guy Star Trek. It was okay but as I kept with it, they dropped some of the humor in favor of more dramatic issues. I enjoyed the later seasons but if they circle back to season 1, then they may as well just cancel it.

        That’s where I’m at. I groaned at most jokes in season 1. If season 4 is like that… Cancel it!

    When the show was what Star Trek would be with real people, it was great. When they made it all about the little no-neck blonde prodigy, it became a chore to finish. It’s too far gone to come back, but please give me a new grungy Star Trek.

    I am unable to understand if this person is lgbt friendly or not. I love The Orville, all 3 season, but it is like the hooker rape sketch in A Million Way To Die In The West. I can’t tell of he’s supportive or mocking

      If you didn’t make it past the first few episodes, it’s totally understandable, but each one in the season gets better than the last

        I made it through the middle of the 3rd season just because i was using it as mindless tv, and i completely disagree. It started off bad, stayed at that level for the first season or two, and then tanked and became straight garbage.

      I personally enjoy the implied sexual abuse as women MacFarlane is dating appear and then disappear from the show once he’s done with them. It really gets my starship engines going.
