So episode 2 was better than the first, if only 'cause it had 2 jokes in it. They weren't funny, not really, but they at least tried.
I'm still not sure what the Orville is. Its not a comedy show, at least not in the 'tell jokes' sense. It takes itself too serious to be funny, yet its too awkward and weird to be a serious show. Like they have comedic set-ups, but because its a light-hearted take on Star Trek, everyone just shrugs the comedy off as common place. It's a vaudeville era troop with no straight-man. Just Costello selling peanuts with no Abott to tell him to stop so they can start Who's On First.
The running gag for the episode is the Worf stand-in character laid an egg. And...that's awkward. See he's a big burly black man with a deep voice, and big burly black men with deep voices don't normally lay eggs. And I don't mean its awkward for us the watchers, its awkward in that the characters are a little awkward about him laying an egg...and that's it.
The second joke is that pot can be made in the replicators. Teehee? 4:20? L33t?
Oh and there's a bum.
