While I love this show in general, I feel like this episode just casually glosses over a lot of big changes and developments with the characters without explanation. Such big developments that left me scouring Google thinking I had missed an episode or five. The episode starts with Martin and his mom at Gugge's grave. Apparently the character had passed since the previous season. After researching I found out it was because the actress Barbro Svensson had passed away. While it was a noble tribute for the actress, there was nary a reason in the show given about what happened to the character.
Secondly, Martin and Sima had barely started dating in season 2, and season 3 opens with them having a new baby! Ummm... what?? I feel like a lot of important information about their relationship was skipped here that could have gone more in depth.
Thirdly, season 2 ended on a cliffhanger that Lisa and Patrik were pregnant again. It isn't until halfway through the season 3 premiere that, in therapy, it is nonchalantly mentioned that Lisa had had a miscarriage. Once again, this feels like a big important plot detail that could have gone into more detail other than a casual afterthought.
It feels like this season could have opened with a different episode to better cover all these details rather than just let the viewers wonder what the heck had happened. That being said, I look forward to watching the rest of the season, I hope more explanations are given further down the line.
The Orville: All the World Is Birthday Cake (2019)
Confused by negative reviews.
Honestly it's one of my favorite episodes. I love that it convincingly tackled the topic of astrological influence on society. The blind faith in an astrological sign to govern their way of life is really not as unbelievable as some might think. Nazis really thought they were superior, Supporters blindly believe blatantly obvious Trump lies. My only knock on how it plays out is how Kelly and Bortus seemingly get away with their actions at the end, but it provides a needed happy ending in a sort of way befitting the story.
