    The third season is best. They moved away from pure Star Trek parody, into actual Star Trek, with a tiny bit of silliness sometimes.

      I disagree, someone needed to force MacFarlane to cut about 20% off of each episode in S3, they were all way too long.

      I think Season 2 had the right ratio of humor to seriousness

        Maybe you’d have a better time of it if the bottom half of your TV was a 30 second loop of someone playing Subway Surfers.

          Have you heard the expression “If I had more time I would have written you a shorter letter”?

          Good writers respect the readers time.

      Big big disagree with you there homie. McFarlane felt WAY out of his element when Orville switched to a purely serious motif. I couldn’t finish the season which killed me because I had such high hopes. Every single character felt like they were in the passive aggressive cold shoulder portion of a marriage fight. Honestly couldn’t give a shit if it comes back for a fourth season.
