    If you were in the minority it wouldn’t have been cancelled the first time lol

    The thing with Orville is that there are are a lot of very online insecure men who all LARPed that it was amazing because they were upset with the Black Lady show.

    It’s not a bad show it’s just hard to gauge the actual real world authentic audience reception.

      Are you referring to The Orville? It has never been canceled.

      The huge gaps between seasons 2 and 3 was caused by COVID, and this one seems to be about how expensive the last season was.

      And, yes, coming into a community about a specific thing to say that you don’t like specific thing does put you in the minority (and in less tolerate communities would get you dogpiled or banned).

      Look, I watched the hell out of Discovery despite the terrible dialogue writing, because I liked the characters and many of the sci-fi ideas. I liked the first 2 seasons of the Orville more, because it gave me the idealistic progressivism I sometimes crave and rarely get on tv or in films.
