    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Unlike the first two seasons, the whole third season was written in advance, and scenes from different episodes were shot in a row, based on the location and actors' availability. Jon Cassar and Seth MacFarlane split the direction duties for the 10 episodes so they could work like that.
    • Goofs
      Characters use miles and meters inconsistently when measuring distance, whereas consistent use of meters makes more sense in a quasi-military organization. Star Trek was frequently guilty of this too.

    Great Sci-fi Series!
    The Orville was so much better than I expected it to be. Like most people I thought it was going to be some spoof of Star Trek but it is so much more than that. It's actually better than anything Star Trek has put out since Next Generation. It takes place 400 years in the future as it follows a exploratory spaceship, The Orville, that is filled with both humans and aliens as they face the dangers of outer space. It's a character driven show that shows the everyday lives of the humans and aliens. The acting and writing is so good that you really come to care what happens to these characters. Seth MacFarlane is such a genius. I don't think I've ever seen him make a bad show or movie. I first starting watching this series strictly because it was created by MacFarlane and have come to really enjoy it. This show was suppose to end after this last season (Season 3) but it's found such a following that the fans are clamoring for more seasons and it looks like they might get it. I hope they renew it for a forth season.
