I watched with pleasure as the San Francisco City Hall was lit up in a pride rainbow to celebrate a court decision legalizing gay marriage again. That was quite a few years ago already and with the exception of a few backwards folks in rural america, nobody wants to take anything away from gay people.
So why is there a need for a heavy-handed "morality play" when everyone already agrees with the moral?
Still, I take no stars off for the choice of subject matter.
Instead, I take stars off:
1) Because this episode was not funny at all. Other episodes this seasons had me laughing out loud at multiple turns.
2) Everything was so obvious and the characters were acting stupidly. "He's not dead and the genius hacker guy hacked the holodeck," I was telling the officers as they struggled to piece it together.
3) The whole Kelly-Cassius thing was boring. There was a tease of insane stalker/rejection complex but it didn't go anywhere. And don't act like that stupid animated talking flower was good TV!
4) I didn't really want to go back to Moclan court, but the arc felt kind of unresolved at the end, didn't it?
5) Some of the technical mumbo jumbo was pretty bad, like first-draft bad, super stupid bad.
Still, it was nice to see Jeffries tubes.
Hoping to see the Orville back in top form next week.
