    Who doesn't.

    Now as to the episode this is one reason I loathe almost (almost!) all time travel episodes. No matter which television show they are in. Because no matter how well plotted and argued in the show logically you can always say "why didn't they do this? Why didn't they do that? What didn't they travel back to this time instead of that time?"

    How is it that they look bigger in her regular uniform than in her deliberately cleavage-enhancing renegade-on-the-run outfit, though?

    So FOX renews this safe, boring POS and yet cancels Firefly. Another reason why I don't watch Fux shows.

    I don't care that you don't like the Orville but to complain about it because Firefly was canceled is just dumb.

    Firefly is over 15 years ago. The people at Fox aren't the same now as they were back than. Fox makes better decisions now.

    Although I didn't care for Firefly in general I will freely admit they had an outstanding cast.

    Speaking of Lucifer, the fourth season on Netflix is hella good.

    I've got two episodes left. I have a feeling there's already a plan for a fifth season.

    I can't see Kelly dating within the chain of command. She seems more professional than Ed on that front.

    Fox didn’t ruin lethal Weapon as much as the one actor did.

    The article goes into a good explanation of why most major stars are bailing on Fox (the television network and not the film studio, which Disney acquired). Seth seems to be doing a good job of threading the needle and being diplomatic.

    I'm cool with it. :shrug:

    What, besides Orville is on Hulu and would be worth me joining and paying more $ for video?

    Here's their current listings. Check the number of seasons before you get excited. A couple of them, I've noticed, they only have one season of a show that ran for years.
