In the third season finale of The Orville: New Horizons, “Future Unknown” closes things out with the wedding event of the year. Last week ended with the surprise that many of us never saw coming: peace between the Union and Kaylon.

The Orville: New Horizons unfortunately plays into a longstanding pop culture TV trope in the season’s penultimate episode. I’m going to get into spoiler territory as I discuss the most recent episode. After getting kicked out of the Planetary Union, the Moclans form an alliance with the Krill.

"The Orville moves to Hulu for Season 3 in 2020" Seth MacFarlane’s ensemble sci-fi comedy, The Orville, came back on Sunday night for the premiere of its second season on FOX. Billed as a comedy, the MacFarlane-created comedy-drama series is arguably in the same vein as Star Trek. By airing on FOX, the series is certainly more accessible to fans wishing to watch the series. It’s no U.S.S. Enterprise as this crew travels by way a mid-levell exploratory spaceship, The U.S.S. Orville, across the galaxy. …
