The Orville s01e07
I liked this episode a lot! Favourite so far and super topical to everyone on the net.

The plot is essentially a capatilist world where social media is real life, everyone is walking around with up and downvote buttons on their chest and people are seemingly frivolously up/down voting others with dire effects - The first 5 mins shows a guy getting his brain fried cause he reached 10 mil downvotes. Essentially our social media witch find thingies circa 201X.
The musical cues, lighting, acting and show structure continues to channel TNG era Trek and I'm happy to so say it still works! The actor that plays John Lamar (J Lee) didnt really have much to do in previous eps but make bro jokes, in this ep he had a lot to do and really won me over.
I liked how the solution to this episode's problem was to spread #fakenews :lol
Tidbits - The concept of money is foreign to the orville universe, as seen when the captain has to explain to the crew what money is and why they need it they also seem to have their own version of the prime directive
Last weeks episode with Rob Lowe was weird.

That motherfucker was raping people, but everyone just silently went with it, there wasnt even a second of pause in any of the characters. I had hoped at the end they would address it in some way, instead it became about the 'cheating' incident between Ed and Kelly.
Watching tonight's episode later 8)

It was pretty good. :lol
While I like this season just fine so far, I don't like it as much as the first season, the fact that they are toning down the humor kinda worries my initial reaction was OK, does Seth have the chops to pull it off? Is this going to turn into not understanding the spirit of Trek like the TNG Trek Movies, the Abrams flicks and STD?

It is just me or is the show less colorful now, still think the show is pretty colorful but I swear the lighting is darker and colors don't pop as much.
