On the 1 hand, I really hope this series gets renewed for a 4th Season since I want to see where the characters and story goes from here. On the other hand, if the series doesn't get renewed at least the story ends on a decent note which is not something many shows can say that wanted/set up 1 more Season but didn't get them.
Yeah agreed... But this series DESERVES to be explored further - it is much more fun than star trek and i am an AVID trekkie from way way back so that's saying something. Seth deserves much more leniency to expand this baby coz he has done nothing but injected genius into this genre. I will be putting the full force of my louche energy towards bringing this outcome about... ❤
I can't be the only one who noticed that the blue lights of the orville make the ship look like a floating internet explorer icon when you look at it from straight behind.
So the Orville officers are very staunch in they’re criticism of the Mauchlen society, but go out of their way to misrepresent themselves to the Jineese? Kind of hypocritical.
@@tmmartinesq.6216 Currently they are planning for a season 4, but the writer strike is delaying it..also they want to reduce the budget and want Seth to focus on other projects first.
the whole "we can't share tech with an underdeveloped civilisation" is becoming a bit of a tired trope imo... there is some validitiy to the trope, but i'm sure that out of 10 civilisations that are given tech, at least one would progress through it rather than implode in a doomsday scenario. also, not every civilisation has to necessarily go thru some form of selfish competition as its organising principle. did they not show a peaceful underwater race of fish-like beings? did they also end up with late-stage capitalism and/or hypernationalism? how did they even attain space-faring tech on their own? the one thing i thought was interesting about star trek discovery was how saru's race... ...had no space-faring tech of their own, but saru managed to intercept some federation comms and found a way to contact them on his own, and that allowed him to join the crew without his civilisation actually attaining space-faring tech... which eventually led to him introducing the tech to his people (and liberating them from their enslavers). it is definitely at least plausible for some races to gain advanced tech without turning on itself.
Plus the notion that we develop it when ready for it is BS. Look at all the things we have but aren't used because of greed, the things that can kill is all that we have and the things we're actively preventing from coming up.
The whole play god theory makes perfect sense. I do think that looking at our current civilisation at 21st century we are definitely not prepared for such technology as it would definitely be used for profit.
@@mmisa9505 this is based on a sample size of one tho. sure, humans suck ass, but should ALL other civs just be dicked because we suck? also, why can't advanced civs figure out a way to sensibly disseminate life-saving and civ-saving tech to younger civs? heck, what's wrong with "playing god" if you can be an actual godlike mentor civ to a younger one, if you could actually nurture them out of their emo teen phase and have actual technological prowess to affect outcomes... as opposed to being a fairy tale god of the gaps? i still can't shake the feeling that... this whole "we shouldn't play god" angle is very tainted by our own human history with abuse of power, and represents a narrow-minded constraint on actual possibilities. in other words, this is the one trek thing that i felt was antithetical to trek spirit.
The Orville is the best homage to Star Trek than the new Star Trek shite they are pumping out. It encompasses all of the positives of the original concepts without crapping all over those same ideas.
Most of the new Star Trek stuff is just boring violent space opera, appealing to young males and not much to anyone else. The Orville is a better Star Trek.
I honestly think it's better than Star Trek itself. Like, all of them. It improves on ST's issues and doesn't really add any new ones. Much easier to watch and I think it has more seriously Grade A sci-fi episodes as a proportion of it's total episodes.
Gordon sent the message 3 months not 6, after arriving in 2015. The crew arrived in 2015, 4 months after Gordon arrived. 1 month after Gordon sent the message. Also, the crew uses light speed and time dilation to move through time. They didnt jump bewteen timelines. This means they did NOT return to their own timeline. This means once they got back to the 25th century, every member of the Orville has a counterpart who already had been living their own lives on board a second Orville. They didn't do a great job writing any of the time travel episodes.
Emotional over a robot/computers 'death' ? I felt sorry for H.A.L. (especially considering that in original drafts/stories H.A.L. made it... and in my own 'heresy' H.A.L. was not actually responsible, but that's another story) or S.I.D.'s "I have been hit..... I have been hit.... I.... haave.... beeen.....hit....." scene. Okay did not 'die' but even so. and also. "He's dying" followed by, "I am sorry..... I have failed.... you"... Vila's interaction with the slowley dieing ZEN. Feeling sorry for a fictional character, and especially a non-human one is a mark of both great writing and in the case of film/tv great character acting.
I recommend people to start watching videos made by Richard D Wolff. The guy is very smart and even jordan peterson didnt dare to debate him about marxism.
I quit watching the show after Mercer ruined Malloy’s family. I think Moya should’ve vaporized his ex crewmates in his living room. The man has a right to defend his family. Also, the fact that Malloy agreed with their decision in the end, I found to be unbelievable.

Hey man guess what..
I can't be the only one who noticed that the blue lights of the orville make the ship look like a floating internet explorer icon when you look at it from straight behind.
Lmao omg I thought that since the very first time I seen it
Love the recap as I don’t have time to watch the full series! Also you insight and speculation on the writer’s theories are spot on 😊
You should have a million subs by now, sir. Really great work, as always 👊
Thank you for the recap @Benja. The season finale _Future Unknown_ , also seemed like the series finale.
It did indeed have that kind of vibe.
Thank you for the update. Much appreciated.
So the Orville officers are very staunch in they’re criticism of the Mauchlen society, but go out of their way to misrepresent themselves to the Jineese? Kind of hypocritical.
They wanted something from them, they also openly accommodate and appease moclans as often as they can
Great recap I hope they get a fourth season
Hope so, too, but it depends on how all three seasons perform on Disney+

I really enjoyed your thoughts on the multiverse/alternate time-line. Well thought out
the whole "we can't share tech with an underdeveloped civilisation" is becoming a bit of a tired trope imo... there is some validitiy to the trope, but i'm sure that out of 10 civilisations that are given tech, at least one would progress through it rather than implode in a doomsday scenario.
also, not every civilisation has to necessarily go thru some form of selfish competition as its organising principle. did they not show a peaceful underwater race of fish-like beings? did they also end up with late-stage capitalism and/or hypernationalism? how did they even attain space-faring tech on their own?
the one thing i thought was interesting about star trek discovery was how saru's race...
...had no space-faring tech of their own, but saru managed to intercept some federation comms and found a way to contact them on his own, and that allowed him to join the crew without his civilisation actually attaining space-faring tech... which eventually led to him introducing the tech to his people (and liberating them from their enslavers).

heck, what's wrong with "playing god" if you can be an actual godlike mentor civ to a younger one, if you could actually nurture them out of their emo teen phase and have actual technological prowess to affect outcomes... as opposed to being a fairy tale god of the gaps?
i still can't shake the feeling that... this whole "we shouldn't play god" angle is very tainted by our own human history with abuse of power, and represents a narrow-minded constraint on actual possibilities. in other words, this is the one trek thing that i felt was antithetical to trek spirit.
This show become star trek, I hope there is season 4

Great re-Cap Thanks.
Issac should have his people upgraded to have emotions.
iyi iş çıkardınız. Teşekkür ederiz, BenjaTV
So, Benja TV, what did YOU think about Charley Burke's character getting killed off so quickly?
I think she had a good and concise character arc, so I can't complain about her getting killed off this early.
@@BenjaTV Thanks very much for sharing your opinion & for replying.
Thank you
Q: @BenjaTV Are you going to review _Prey_ the new release on HULU/ _Predator_ prequel?
Don't think so. Not a big fan of the franchise unfortunately. Is the new one any good?
@@BenjaTV Yes! Worth a watch if into sci fi, history, Westerns, Native culture and martial arts.
Didn't know about Norm McDonald doing voice work
When will you be covering the Karen Pirie series? Soon, I hope!@
I wonder how 7 of 9 would have negotiated Star Fleet after the Borg attack.

I’ve never seen Star Trek but isn’t this basically mass effect? All the factions and struggles are the same
Mass effect is just star trek

Do you have to mumble so much. It's incoherent mate
1st
This gender mocklas issue is getting really old
How? And why does it bother you
Too PC, gagging normal gendered people? Duh!
The Orville was a great show but only 30 plus episodes in five years, WTF? Good special effects and dialogue, just too slow!❤❤😂😂
