Aw, bummer. Just did some googling and discovered Seth Macfarlane is leaving after season 3.

Despite that, I still hope to see it continue.

Wow, this promo makes the show look decent, but what's completely missing are the "MacFarlane-y" bits that turn it into a cheesy hybrid of some kind. If you thought how they went about infiltrating the Krill was dumb, then maybe you haven't seen episode 7.

"Majority Rule" feels like a Black Mirror homage/ripoff, and the situation they get themselves into was painful to watch. Not wasting my time on this anymore.

I love the show overall. Krill bothered me a little bit though, because it felt a bit too MacFarlane-y to me.

Taking The Orville as an homage to Trek (TNG specifically?), it struck me that any Trek character that would be asked to infiltrate a hostile alien group would take that task very very seriously. They'd learn enough culture / language / etc. to pass cursory examination, and they'd know to limit attention being placed on them as much as possible. That's just sort of taking your fiction/material seriously.

The Orville's (Captain!) Mercer and Malloy were basically just screwing around on their infiltration mission though. They knew very little going in, which is somewhat excusable since in there is solid story justification for it in that they are doing very early recon because humans in general know very little about the Krill. BUT, if that is the case then it would be doubly important to just try to fade into the background and not draw attention, and they didn't really do that at all. Long, "funny" answers to questions instead of being terse, not trying to blend in behavior-wise, etc.

I don't mind MacFarlane's humor, and even think that it adds a little something that is very often lacking in Trek. But only when it is story-appropriate, and it kind of jarred me out of the moment on that particular episode. It was still an OK episode, but that just hurt the immersion for me, I guess.

Seth MacFarlane was supposed to be on American Airlines flight 11 on 9/11/2001. He missed the flight by 10 minutes because he was hung over and had the wrong flight time.

Seth MacFarlane and Mark Wahlberg should just stick to these type movies. It's what they do well.

"Executive Producer Seth Macfarlane"

No shit? Hmmph. Cool beans.

loved the video except the bit about seth macfarlane's song and Dads.

making fun of sexism is not sexism.

I wanted to be able to refer to all Family Guy episodes as before-Brian and after-Brian, but now I can't.

I respected MacFarlane so much for having the balls to kill off one of the shows main characters, but now it's just like Gilligan's Island and every show after - by the end of the episode, they are right back where they started.
