The Orville

Postby Mike » Tue Feb 05, 2019 10:02 am

Stupid as it is, I found the most recent episode (Claire and Simon) to be positively charming.

But more importantly, the moment Bortus asked for a mustache, I saw the arc of the subplot. I knew he'd get a mustache, it'd be silly, and by the end he'll have to shave it off, because his husband hates it. I knew that. But once I SAW the 'stache... I was hoping against hope that he could keep that thing. It was full Selleck, and it was glorious! They could have kept it for a handful of episodes at least.

Of course, they didn't.

Bortus is probably my favorite source of stories now. He can be silly mustachio, and then stuff like Deflectors happens. There was a weird moment where I thought the main plot was giving me a hint about the Ed and Kelly subplot, but I was wrong. That ending, though.

My son really likes the series and convinced me to watch it over his break. It really is quite good and getting better in the second season.
