It's not funny anymore. Not only that, S3 E1 seemed to make a point of deliberately avoiding any comedic material by using murder, hate and suicide as the central theme. Money has obviously been spent on this dark transformation but why? The Orville was a perfectly good Star Trek parody - when they were cruising along through space with milkshakes on the consoles watching TV on the viewscreen and Ed and Kelly arguing in front of aliens! Is there enough room for another 'serious' star trek style space drama anyway? STD and SNW are up and running and if The Orville is now going to be another 'serious' space drama, at least be consistent and follow the rules! There's no way conversations like that would have ever happened between a Captain and an Ensign - or flying target practice allowed in a space port. If this is the future for The Orville, I'm out.
