Better when it was fun
The first three episodes of S3 have been a bit un-fun.
I said loudly that the Orville was better than any of the current versions of Star Trek, that they out Trekked Trek, and part of that was in the humor and fun of the series. They acknowledged there were laughable aspects of original trek and certainly present day trek, and the orville cracked some jokes and got on with some actually pretty good trek like scripts.
These first 3 episodes have been jokeless, and delivered like an infront of a live audience first take is all we get 80s tv show, slow stilted, flat, lit for tv. All the things it doesn't have to be any more.
It feels like a director/editing thing. Flat on stage performances edited clunky.
Hopefully they'll pull it round again. The cast don't appear to be having fun.
