This season of the Orville has been pretty underwhelming so far, my nitpicks:
1. The humor being gone I regret ever saying it shouldn't be there in the first place.
2. The lighting being darker it isn't as egregious as in Shart Trek but it still annoys me, this is probably because they use different cameras.
2a. To expand on the lighting this is more of a art direction thing the third series has a way more generic inside the ship it went all brushed metal with the light blue lighting instead of the comfy 80's office design language that was very TNG era ripoffy so maybe this was changed because of a copyright issue.
3. The CG looks worse, what the fuck was up with that episode with the Talla fighting the alien CG creatures talk about amateur hour.
4. I don't like the shuttle redesign or their fighter jet thing design wise this could be down to copyright shenanigan's for all i know.
5. Charly sucks.
6. New OP sucks, nah the soundtrack in general compared to previous seasons.
Things I do like:
1. Bortus's make up was improved, the last episode it looked odd the one about time travel.
2. Repercussions from previous seasons have been addressed or made worse.
3 I like the homage to Galaxy Quest since they have a beryllium sphere on their engineering deck.
