Orville was such an aimless show in the beginning. Obviously it started out going for campy comedy parody but it honestly wasn’t hitting the mark on the comedy often enough. I’m stalled out somewhere in early Season 3–not because I wasn’t enjoying it, I think it’s actually gotten pretty good by that point, but just time and other commitments.
You know there’s urban legend out there that this actually happened to some US sailors during a test of some Tesla energy field thinga-majigger about a hundred years ago.
