Orville New Horizons – Future Unknown

Other seasons of sci-fi shows come and go, but ‘The Orville’ will almost certainly be missed the most. The final episode of season 3, and what could be the final episode of the entire series, is aptly named Future Unknown.

And One Falls!

Last week I talked about how The Orville season 3 has been an emotional roller coaster; well, this week really took you to the top of that roller coaster and dropped you fast and hard.

Orville Swtichback

Episode 4: Gently Falling Rain The Orville third season, New Horizons, has yet again given us a fantastic episode that teases a long future for Orville. When watching Sci Fi, it should challenge our preconceptions of the universe and what’s out there. Up until now we didn’t know what the Krill home world would show us; I’m sure, like me, …

The Crew of the Orville solve a mystery!

Episode 3: Mortality Paradox “To many humans, a mystery is irresistible. It must be solved.” Wise words from arguably the wisest of Captains in modern television history, Jean-Luc Picard.

The Planetary Union explores unknown space!

The premiere episode of The Orville: New Horizons truly showed why the popularity is so high for this show, especially amongst Star Trek fans. It was poignant and character-driven, but not without the trademark Seth MacFarlane humor and sense of adventure. While “Shadow Realms” has its share of darkness, it is a slow character burn for the entirety of the …

Space, the final frontier; these are the voyages of the USS Orville, a mid-level Exploratory-class vessel in the Planetary Union. Its mission, it seems, is to get in a whole heap of trouble and make us laugh, cry, and ask, “Where has the Orville been all my life?” Episode 1: Electric Sheep Season 3 of the Orville, the first season …
