I think the problem is, the show doesn't know what it wants to be.
It looks like they have a rough draft of the direction they want to go, then they sprinkle in the lame jokes, add more dumb scenes (Bot sex, get the guy to eat glass & a cactus then eat a gun!, The fire suppression system is on fire... Smoke Screen in space... and on it went.)
It doesn't really have any competition at this day/hour it is on, and it is better than the other crap that is on CBS or NBC or ABC, so it wins by default, but, it is just disappointing in the overall direction it has taken. Remove the lame jokes, ditch the stupid scenes that come with the lame jokes, and it will be a more entertaining show.
Someone mentioned it would have been better as a cartoon series, and I would agree.
OMG yes. The dialog was such bullsh**. Here's an alien culture you supposedly know nothing about and you just walk in and start talking like you're with friends at a bar. God, that was . . . I don't have the words. Oh I know, that's the sort of sh** even Michael Bay wouldn't do and nobody's accusing him of having standards.Maybe he is blocking it out. The whole infiltrate the enemy segment was so cringy, I had to keep skipping ahead (too painful to watch).
If you're too uptight to appreciate the humor then perhaps you should watch something else.
One more episode like that and I'm sh** canning this show. The only reason I was still watching is that the episodes up until now have been at least marginally plausible. There were plenty of incongruities and plot holes but nothing so bad you couldn't ignore it. We've plumbed new depths with this episode.
It definitely has room for improvement, both in the scripts and how some of the humor plays out. And, if history is any indication, it's pretty much a requirement that the first season of any Star Trek show is the worst.I enjoy the show... so far.
However, I completely agree that if they continue going overboard, it's not going to last long.
Seth's character meet a new alien and said this:
"Hey, nice name. . . Just kidding, it's horrible!"
When I heard that line, I sat there dumbstruck wondering if that was an attempt at humor and if not, then why'd they feel the need to include something so infantile. It's jarringly bad. I feel that way at many of the "jokes" the show attempts.
Totally agree on the part that it might survive purely because it does not have any competition. Discovery, the only other competition is fracked up beyond belief, non-star trek like and totally nonsensical story like and not on the air, only for paid customers... nice way to kill a show in its incubator.

It's a mole, and it grows on ya. I think she's kinda hot actually.the ex-wife's pimple on her forehead is distracting.
she's had it since the show started.
surprised she hasn't had it removed
yup
No, they aren't spoofing the wraith. I won't say much more than that, but it's not an intentional Stargate homage. Rather it's just an explanation for why the Krill are as pale as they are.Haven't watched E06 yet, space vampires? wraith? are they spoofing Stargate now?
Yep ST lobs rear torps at a turtles pace but he Orville just blows them all out to get the job done.For those who don't get it, it's a dig on every space show with battle scene.
