Overall, "Electric Sheep" is definitely a great episode, but it would maybe be better if the show didn't continue in the same vein for the rest of the season. Serious stories like this, while important, don't exactly fit in with The Orville's brand of humor and wonder. As a rare treat, it's certainly satisfying, but here's hoping we get to see more classic sci-fi adventure stories in the next episodes.

The Orville: New Horizons is back for a third season with a new home, some light, effective tweaking, and more seasoning for its core cast.

The relationship between Anaya, Teleya and Ed is the most interesting in all of Star Trek history. God I hope this series goes on

I love it, it’s one of my favorite shows. It’s probably too 10 shows of all time.

Thank you Seth Mcfarlane. You really redeemed past missteps. Episode 5 means so much to me.

A disappointment so far, after three episodes. Episode 1 introduces a new recurring character who immediately comes across as distasteful. I didn't appreciate the plot, although I can understand why others might like it. In either case, it would have made sense during season 2, but not now; it seems that the writers realize that they forgot something and want to deal with it, but it's three years too late. Episode 2 starts well, with a story of exploration and mystery, but quickly turns into a 50s style monster movie, with mutations occurring in ten minutes (no, that's not how evolution works). Its similarity to the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Genesis can't be completely coincidental. The special effects are sometimes surprisingly poor, what one would expect from a cheap TV series. Episode 3 also starts well, with a story that's intriguing enough to make us suspend our disbelief, but by the tine we start to get tired of the mysteries (so are the characters, they say so themselves) and want to know the answers, a deus ex machina appears and gives a completely unsatisfactory explanation. The new recurring character is again distasteful; perhaps the writers should seek inspiration in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode Balance of Terror instead. All episodes are one hour long or more, which is welcome and gives more time for the story. The cinematography is sometimes so good that I watched some shots several times to better understand how they were done. Dogfights that make no sense in space are plentiful, and reaction shots that last too long before we see whatever the characters are seeing are too common.

This is what Star Trek should be. Exploring moral dilemmas. Writing great stories with no agendas. On a lesser note, some of the acting is so below par it's cringeworthy. I think I was distracted by the great storylines.

More Star Trek Discovery than Star Trek the Next Generation. It deals with way too much current day social politics than I like in my Science fiction and in 2025 where it feels like every show now does this, it's feeling really over used. I don't want to be lectured about interracial relationships, mental health or Trans rights in my entertainment, this is supposed to be escapism and yet there's full episodes dedicated to it in this show.
