When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by season 2 I found myself loving this show.

To me it seems as every bit as comfy, intellectually interesting and even funny as some classic Star Treks while still clearly being its own thing. I wish more comfy space shows like this would get made.

What are your thoughts on The Orville? Also I miss Alara.

Whatever you think of the show, it gave us one of, if not the most, epic CGI space battle. It was so damn long and intricate.

Which one? I either don't recall, or I need to check that out! I've seen something like 80% of the entire series, if I recall correctly. I did admittedly skip a few of the episodes, though.

The main battle against the robots at earth, but one of the other ones as well was really good.

The earth one was exceptionally long for a space cgi battle.
