The Orville - Season 1 Gag Reel
Aw, bummer. Just did some googling and discovered Seth Macfarlane is leaving after season 3.
Despite that, I still hope to see it continue.

The Orville - Season 1 Gag Reel
The Orville is a fantastic show, truly a delight.
I'm so happy it came back to life on Hulu and I really hope it'll see a season 4.
If you haven't checked it out, do yourself a favor and jump on in.

The Orville: New Horizons Sneak Peek | Arriving 6.2.2022
I like how they're careful to show that the Orville is just one of thousands of identical ships. Not the flagship or the singular most important crew in the galaxy, just some people with a job to do.
Assembly of the worlds largest fusion reactor (ITER) begins
Oh yes I take ITER as good news, but it still leaves us 20 - 40 years from a... well I wanted to write a commercial fusion plant, however that might be a trifle optimistic.
Lets say we are at best 20-40 years from a functional prototype of a commercialy viable plant.
ITER is very much a test, any way you bend it. DEMO is waiting for ITERs outcome. Of course ITER will work, tokamaks have operated since the 1960s, that is like claiming a rocket will almost certainly fly. Yet we still stand in awe when it does.
It took 50 years from Einsteins nearly blind-guess prediction of a physical phenomenon to fission power plants. 50 years from the Orvilles hops to jet passenger planes. 58 years from Ciolkovskys crazy drawings to a man in space. In my grandfathers lifetime we went from horse-drawn carriages to the SR-71.
In my lifetime we have gone from landing on the moon to almost maybe landing there again some time.
We are slowing down or the going is getting more difficult.
Good news and bad news then.

Oroville Spillways Phase 2 Update Mid-June 2018
If you have been following it as i have, you would know the spillway was temporarily finished and usable in Nov, 2017 if need be. This video back from Nov 2017 well explains what's going on, and should answer all your questions. https://youtu.be/pW0y_wkrCwM. If you watch the DWR or blancolirio videos on the spillway you will see it was all planned out and executed amazingly well.

So what if they need to use either spillway before they finish this project? It looks like even the main spillway is a long ways from being complete. While the emergency spillway can probably hold off except for another emergency of course...
I'd imagine if I lived downstream I'd be thinking, a little too late on these repairs, given they were requested a decade ago.

The Orville spillway decision making sounded like a plot for a disaster movie with a happy ending. Interesting and scary stuff. Thought it might interest you and @oritteropo

I read that as Orville.

Could not agree more.
A friend made me an interesting new TV show suggestion that I have used for about 10 years now. He said I should give each show 4 episodes (back when most TV was 20 per season, so adjust accordingly). I applied it to the Orville and didn't let me down.
Guys, try up to episode 3 and then decide. Episodes 3 and up got way better with less humor. It is like old Star Trek TNG, etc.

Have you actually watched the show? You comment doesn't really sound like you have. You are right about this scene, but the whole rest of the episode tells a deeper story.
You are right about the first 2 episodes. The ones after that really got interesting. See the comments in this video:

So... as far as I can see it, every clip from, The Orville, is essentially <insert comedy cliche here> but in SPACE!
WTF is the point in this show? I mean, I think some of what Seth McFarlane does is funny, but this is so hackneyed it's not even remotely interesting, never mind funny.

The First 6 Missions | Season 1 | THE ORVILLE
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.
I think my favorites so far is Pria and Krill. I've been loving the show so far.
ORVILLE S1E3: The Crew Preps For A Wild Wild West Showdown
Firefly had little humor to me. I am still mad at Fox for messing it up! I wonder if Orville will have be axed by them too.
Ha...even Firefly was funnier to me.
