I was thoroughly impressed/surprised by season one, finding the weakest parts to be the episodes focused on relationships - romance, but often they were subplots to a over arching story that was right in the thick of what makes me like trek.
Romance episodes are the lowest rated ones in trek by all fans as wel. It only takes looking at imbd ratings of trek episodes to see almost always, the ones farthest down the ranks are soapy romance types or a hated character like neelix getting front row and center.
Just look at the highest rated orville episodes from season one om IMDB.. They're all the most trekky episodes they produced. Exploring new world type episodes, with thoughtful ideas, creative themes and interesting characterization. So to start the season off with two episodes, making relationship issues the main plot entirely..? I really hope this is just a misstep.
If the orville fails to continue what it started in season one, i'll be really let down along with many others i'm sure. Since i find the new trek incarnation total trash. It was the only science fiction series besides the expanse/westworld i watch/really enjoy. And those two are far removed from what trek is.
