The first episode of the third season of "The Orville" has been aired.
Three years have passed since "The Orville" last appeared on our screens. Give or take three years, a month and eight days. Who is Counting?
Space.com was able to visit the set in 2020 when principal photography was still being shot and just weeks before the Pandemic shut everything down. We knew that season 3 of "The Orville" was going to be amazing, but we weren't allowed to say so much. I'm sorry about that.
The first episode of season 3, entitled "Electric Sheep", is an awesome, action-packed, pumping powerhouse of an episode that also focuses on the aftermath. The time-travel tomfoolery and alt-universe escapades of the second season finale are unimportant at the moment. There could be more or less.

Thousands of people died when the Planetary Union mounted a last stand. The intervention of the Krill stopped the destruction of Earth. Many people still don't like the fact that he played a part in that attack.
We see more of the battle in the first episode than we did in the second one. Marcus Finn is the son of a doctor. There are a hundred ships buzzing around each other and there are mid-level vessels.
Marcus Finn is in the middle of a corridor on the Orville where explosions are breaching the hull and crew members are getting blown into space. He was able to escape back to his quarters. Marcus woke up and his face turned into Venom. It was a great opener to the season.
The Orville is currently docked at a space station in the middle of the universe and undergoing repairs. The Engineering section has been redecorated. The look and feel of the bridge is the same with just a few changes. The shuttles have been completely redesign and a new fighter has also been introduced. There is a combat simulation test flight that takes place in and around the space dock.
There are no sub-plots in this episode, it's all about the man. When nobody wants him to sit at their table, it all starts in the mess hall. After John LaMarr was promoted to Chief Engineer, Charly Burke sat down and talked to the Kaylon.
During that attack, she lost her best friend, and she doesn't hold back in talking about his return to the Orville. Charly Burke is a new member of the team. She has an attitude that will make for great fodder for later episodes.
After a confrontation where Marcus Finn wishes he were dead and someone writing "murderer" in red paint on an engineering console, the Kaylon commits suicide by using an amplification module to fry his central processor.
The rest of the episode is a deep dive into everyone's biases towards Isaac, as it seems he was so thorough in the manner of his suicide that he may very well be irreparably damaged. The recent episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is the only exterior hull walk this week in sci-fi.
In order to avoid a single Kaylon vessel, the Orville dives into the atmosphere of a gas giant and releases a shuttle loaded with torpedoes to blow up the Orville. Ejecting debris, oil, and even bodies from a submarine in an attempt to fool attackers into thinking it had been destroyed was a tactic used in "Project Petticoat," "U-571" and "Run Silent Run Deep."
This episode of "The Orville" was filmed before the fourth episode of " Strange New Worlds" was even written. They aired within seven days of each other.
This season premiere is more serious than the Season 2 opener, which was more of a mix of comedy, drama and even music, reflecting every quality "The Orville" has. There is a lot here to remind us of the other elements and the music. In addition to being a mind-blowing voice actor, writer, producer and so on, MacFarlane is a huge fan of accompanying orchestral scores and subtle nods to other sci-fi franchises. This is an example of that.
Ensign Charly Burke is the only one who can perform the complicated task because LaMarr has an idea as to how he might be able to get the personality back. Everyone must reexamine their feelings, both good and bad, towards the artificial lifeform, including Marcus Finn, who had a relationship with Isaac.
This is an extremely strong start from "The Orville: New Horizons" and we very much hope that the potential of this sci-fi musical/comedy/drama/thriller is realized and kept going for many more seasons to come.
The rating was 10/10.
