Hear me out, it's called The Orville and... oh, no wait. I'm being handed a message.

I'm sorry if that was a joke that went over my head, but I really don't get the love for The Orville.

The first season was kinda good in a temporary sci-fi wasteland. But the later seasons were mostly cringey teenage angst forced drama with some of the most unsymphatetic characters (e.g. the doctor lady and sons). Attempting to reach Capt. Picard levels of depth in their arguments and sophistication but falling short by a landslide.

The one good moment I can remember about it is the joke about the character being off-center on the viewscreen. Heck, I even prefer Discovery over most of it.

The Orville isn't "big screen." What we need is a sequel to Galaxy Quest.
