This week we do our wrap-up of season 1 including our overall thoughts, MVPs of the main cast and guest stars, best episode, and we rate the entire season. Also Jack gives the best sign-off in podcast history.

This week we discuss the season finale, our feelings on how the plotlines wrapped up, and we discuss that 'surprise' end to the season.

This week we discuss a very plot heavy episode, a frustrating conversation with Ash and Michael, and we acknowledge we are likely in the minority on our opinion of the show.

This week we discuss a fun but trashy episode. We also discuss how much it feels like a season finale, how we all thing a dead character will come back, and how a not dead character will die.

This week we discuss more twists and turns, our frustrating with the Hugh story line, and we (mostly Ben) go on a huge rant about the state of modern television.

This week we discuss all the twists (which we mostly predicted), our problems with an extended stay in the mirror universe, and we worry one character probably isn't coming back like we may have hoped.

This week we discuss the thrilling return to the show, how much we are looking forward to the show's new direction, and how one terrible scene basically ruins all of it.

Merry Christmas! Today we talk for almost two hours about every episode of The Orville, give our final thoughts on the series, and off-air we promise to never record something this long ever again.

This week we talk about the Seth McFarlane show The Orville. SPOILER ALERT: We think it's better than Star Trek: Discovery. However we talk more than that. This week we discuss general thoughts and go over the cast and main characters. Next week we'll discuss each episode and give our final thoughts!
