firewins Ok so it's confirmed, I love this new season so much!
(spoilers ahead)
The tone looks like it's going to stay a bit darker than the previous two season which is an interesting choice for a show that was born as a comedic parody of Star Trek. However I am absolutely still here for it! I do kinda hope we get some the old silly or trying to be serious and failing so bad it's funny style episodes but for now i'm quite happy with the show!
I love that we finally got our zombie ghost ship episode! I feel like it's a required plot for every good scifi spaceship based show and I absolutely love them!
This episode did such a good job building and maintaining the tension throughout the episode! I had to put down my crocheting several times to fully focus on what was happening!
I love that we're getting so many Claire focused episodes as she's probably one of my favorite characters (aside from Issac that it) and I love that she's getting to be an awesome complex person!
I especially liked her drinking and bonding scene with Kelly! (Please Orville give us more girls bonding scenes it was so sweet!!!)
I'm also excited that they seem to be leaning back into the Claire/Issac relationship! (I have many strong headcanons about them as a grayro/aro qpr! With Issac as an aro who enjoys the platonic closeness of a relationship and Claire as an allo who doesn't mind that Issac can't exactly understand romantic love!)... Or in a simpler way, I ship it!
The way this episode ended honestly surprised me! the fact that they just couldn't save anyone was super unexpected! I thought there would a last minute scifi magic explanation about how to reverse the transformation or something!
But if i'm being honest I really liked the ending! it was sad and a little bit scary but very impactful!
I'm looking forward to next episode!
Sadly it looks like we're only getting a 10 episode season (though hopefully they'll get renewed for a 4th season on Hulu!) I'm very interested in episode 5 which (according to wikipedia) is titled "A Tale of Two Topas" which sounds very intriguing! Are we finally going to get a continuation on that storyline? I absolutely adored the terrible way this show handled Moclan gender and well everything about Moclans to be honest! (Those episodes are silly trash TV at it's finest!)
