Old Wounds

Orville
S01E01
Season 1 Episode 1

This was a really good 1st episode. We got to see the captain & he met his senior officers & we learned who they all are. There was a real robot, not a human-like android. The slime jelly guy in the hallway was funny too. I really like how even though it's the future people still talk like normal. Sure, it's the military but they aren't being very rigid.

I like how they showed us the ship's point of view when they were fighting the Jem Ha'Dar. It was really dizzying. I like how the shuttles moved fast too. so much good stuff.

Arbor Day was better than wood.

I am really hating the ex-wife, not just because she cheated on him, but she requested to be his 1st officer? Why? And apparently she's the reason he was given command? Unless there is some big conspiracy that she knows about, I am really going to hate any other reason for that. It also doesn't make any sense. When he finds out, she will just end up breaking his heart again except this time it will be even worse.
