You'd be forgiven for thinking it when you first heard about it: "Oh, Seth MacFarlane is doing a riff on 'Star Trek'? So, it'll be like if there were dick jokes on the Enterprise?" And honestly, he probably could've gotten away with that. But as anyone who's seen "The Orville" knows, it's so much more than what it seems at first glance. As equal parts inspired hómage, affectionate parody, and in-its-own-right masterpiece, the show has carved out its own place in an ever more crowded sci-fi multiverse...and it's done so on its own terms. So join Saint and Jim as they break open this particular jar of tasty galactic pickles and take a big, juicy bite.
