The Orville season 1 episode 1: this dude finally gets to be a space captain, but his first officer is his ex wife! So wacky 🤪 plenty of jokey moments. This is a star trek parody we don't take ourselves too seriously!

The Orville season 3 episode 1: one of the main characters commits suicide and the only one who can revive him is someone who suffered firsthand from his actions in the previous season and hates his guts. We explore multiple expressions of grief and hatred as well as consider what drives someone to suicide. The best scene has no dialogue, just a character slowly breaking down into tears as the wall of emotions finally breaks free in a moment of solitude.
