Kermit window | How it feels when you've watched the last episode of all episodes of the Orville | image tagged in kermit window | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I did it! I watched all 3 seasons. I understand there MIGHT be another season coming but not holding my breath. I loved it! I have a lot to talk about, too. Thanks for sharing it with me!

My absolute pleasure (a Rocky Horror reference. Sorry, ADHD)! Can you recommend me a series? Fingers crossed for a season four of The Orville!

I really enjoy binge watching series. The last one was "The Last of Us." Have you seen it? It's about post apocalyptic Earth when fungi has changed due to climate change. The actors and creators did a remarkable job! I have been making a list in my head for you. What types of series do you like? Do you have recommendations for me?! I haven't found a new one yet.

The Last of Us is a brilliant series indeed! I love the character played by Bella Ramsey and am a fan of Pedro Pascal. Thanks to one particular episode there was a run on tampons the day after it aired in the US: thousands of young American women learned 'bleeding from down there' was normal. It's small educational details like that that make a series worthwhile for me. Another game adaption - if you don't know it already - is Fallout. And have you heard of The Silo? About survivors of a worldwide nucleair disaster. Creepy because it looks quite believable: some power hungry fascists controlling 'the people' with lies 'n stuff. Including a kind of dumb 'stormtroopers' in leather boots that do anything for their Great Leader in exchange for a few simple priveleges.

Can also recommend the Danish post-apocalyps series The Rain, really liked The 100 but also the German time travel dramaseries Dark and series like Snowpiercer, based on a French comic book: the only way to survive man's tempering with Mother Nature (that lead to a new Ice Age) is to board an ever ongoing train. Of course the people who paid most money to the megalomaniac billioniare who had it build get most priveleges. An excercise in the class system people like Karl Marx tried to warn us for. And a manual for people like Elon Musk. Who, so the story goes - there goes my ADHD brain again. Sorry - was named after The Elon, a small group of dictators ruling the planet Mars. A story written by famous nazi scientist Werner von Braun. Elon's father was a fan.

Do you like The Walking Dead franchise? I love how they explore different types of government with running into small communities based on different sociapolitical systems: communism, feminism, socialism, capitalism, fascism and other -ism's. If you're into a little more absurd, check out Station Eleven; the short series tells the story of a sort of cult that believes everything in a made up book is literally true and considers all characters in said book as 'holy'. I can't think of a similar incident in 'our' society dating back some 2,000 years... ;-)

Station Eleven combines dealing with the apocalypse with....wait for it...Shakespeare. Because why not? Some episodes look like directed by David Lynch but it also shows the believable struggles of a guy who could easily be your neighbour: simply trying to survive while clinging to what he knows, like finishing a job for a client although he knows the client is already dead.

You might be interested in this mini series. I think it is incredibly relevant and would like to discuss it with you if you watch it.

This would also be good to recreate for the neurodivergent stream. And...I'm glad you mentioned "The Orville." I hadn't heard of it before. I'll be sure to watch it. Always looking for new series to watch.

The Orville is amazing! Started by big 'trekkie' Seth McFarlane, it captures the spirit of the original Star Trek series sรณ well that actual Star Trek actors called McFarlane to ask if they please could have a guest role.

Really? That says a lot if they wanted a guest appearance. Wow! I'm looking forward to watching it.

You'll love it! And not just because it features a lot of neurodivergent characters: a robot confused because of this weird feeling of 'being in love', a really tough alpha male from a planet where being straight is being frowned upon who sees all these heterosexual crew mates, a blob who can't comprehend what it's like to have bones...while two of the main characters are simple earthlings involved in the aftermath of their nasty divorce...Sorry if I'm giving away too much...anyways: enjoy and let us know what you think.

Ok. I'm on the 2nd or third episode so far. The first one was good. I especially liked the fighting troll named Justin who is easily distracted by lady bugs ๐Ÿ˜‚

That was a good lesson in that episode: always keep your head in the game. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I found 3...or 4 Star Trek actors, did you?

There are a few more. I think five in total. Like Penny Johnson, Claire the doctor on The Orville? She played in StarTrek: DS9 and also in TNG. And the man himself, Seth MacFarlane: he once played an ensign on Star Trek. Because the producers are fans of Family Man and knew MacFarlane is a Trekkie.

I thought the Dr looked familiar. Who was she on TNG?
1 up, 2mo
On TNG she played a Boraalan, one of the inhabitants of the planet Boraal who - unknown to themselves - got a new life on the holodeck (which I had to look up. Yeah for Star Trek Fandom Wiki!). She's more famous for playing Captain Sisko's wife of DS9.
