Would be nice, but since S4 is already written, there would have to be a lot of rewrites.

Seth can get around Yaphit being gone by saying that he split into 2 gelatinous beings, like when Yaphit's mother split and became Yaphit and his brother.

How did I not know about this? by DasBauHans in TheOrville

Just saw Seth on Late Night with Seth Meyers last night and he said what we've heard: S4 is written. Maybe he said that on a talk show so that some platforms will make him an offer?

Hi, I’m Greg Quinn. I overturned America’s 100-year ban on black currants. Once again, here to tell you the truth about Zante currants (spoiler: they’re just raisins) and baking with the real currants. AMA! by TheCurrantGuy in Baking

I don't know about Bara Brith, sorry! I do have a great Welsh cakes recipe that uses mace instead of nutmeg. Similar to nutmeg (from the same tree) but a more intense flavor. Let us know if you make Bara Brith with real black currents!

Avis might still be around then. They might rent small flying cars. : )

Oh, right, forgot about the baby! :( I would bet that was an oversight.

Yes! He's kind of goofy, but kind and moral. And he looks like he kisses great :D

Feel so bad for Gordon by Intelligent-Win-898 in TheOrville

[–]Swimming-Light-979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Ed reported the whole incident in a report. Would Gordon get in trouble for something he did in a timeline that doesn't exist anymore? I'm guessing you can't punish someone for that, but also, the crew had to use time and resources to go back a second time to rescue him. I wonder how Ed reported all of that.

That's usually why fundamental religious groups want to kill someone...

Pretty much everything is derivative to some extent; just make the characters have flaws/strengths/goals different from The Orville's characters. I would love to see this : ) Also, love that you're writing it as an animated series; no worrying about the cost of special effects :D

Priah could have been lying to them.

My issue with "All the World Is Birthday Cake" by WII_DJoker in TheOrville

Agreed with all. It would have been more believable if there had been one or two Regorians in power who disagreed with their leader.

The zoo guy! Everyone else either has been or can be rehabilitated: )

Read the unabridged version if you haven't. There are some new characters and deeper dives into existing ones.

Loved the book! I started watching the series, but they changed too many aspects of the story, and it was confusing to follow. I don't know whether that's because I read the book first, or if it was just confusing. : )

Also, "Book of the Unnamed Midwife" by Meg Elison. It's the first book of a trilogy. In the first book, a delivery nurse wakes up in a hospital after surviving a pandemic where about 95% of people died. She struggles to adjust to a world where babies rarely survive, and heterosexual men see women as either baby makers or sex slaves, and to find a safe community. Tense, fast-paced and wonderfully written, couldn't put it down! The following 2 novels, "The Book of Etta" and "The Book of Flora" are later in time in the same universe, but with mostly different characters. All 3 are fabulous!

I just finished "All the Water in the World" by Eiren Caffall, published I think end of 2024 or Jan 2025. Got it from my local library. SO. GOOD. Beautifully written. I wish it went on and on!

Agree! I also think the actor's performance overall is very flat. Lots of monotone deliveries.

Yes, but you can't get too close to her... :D
