It doesn't feel artificial until the drug wears off. Then you pay the price. Before you know it, you're taking the drug not to feel good, but to keep from feeling bad.

It didn't occur to me until I read this comment, but SNW is currently more of a silly show than The Orville. Strange times.

  • The Orville really comes out as a far more serious show, for sure. From the way its directed, the writing, filming, pacing, casting, costumes, sets... everything just screams "TNG: the lost episodes."

    The "Moclins get addicted to cigarettes" episode is about as silly as it gets, but is underpinned by the sci-fi premise of: "when worlds collide." Much like The Trouble With Tribbles, it's light-hearted and hilarious, yet explores a very plausible "what if" scenario that doesn't break the universe or character in any way.

    Contrast that to the SNW musical episode, which is just pure fun with a paper-thin flimsy premise, and we really do have something utterly ridiculous at times.
