I heard of it but I haven't checked it yet. Time travel sounds good! I'll put it on the list. Always happy for recommendations.
In general I am not always looking for sci-fi series though, I actually prefer proper "normal" dramas. I loved the quirky "Desperate Housewives" and "Six Feet Under" and recently I watch a lot of British TV, stuff like "Call the midwive" - I love them all to bits. And I watch lots of stuff for certain actors.
Have you seen "Forever"? I became a fan of Ioan Gruffudd through it and followed him to his other series "Harrow" (he plays a medical examiner for the police in both) and "Liar" where he is a doctor being accused of rape and for a long time you don't know whether to believe her or him. It's been three years since the first season of this aired, this year we will finally get the second, and it is only six episodes each. So the people complaining for seasin 3 of Orville have no idea what waiting is! Same for the wait between the Sherlock seasons.
So I thought I'll wait some days with my reply to give you time to catch up with more Orville episodes - whereabouts are you? Have you seen sad Ed yet? That's the one that turned me around big time. Some say Seth is not a good actor, and in some scenes he could do a little more admittedly, but here he blew me away with all the feels and the way Ed acts throughout the episode, a true gentleman.
What do you think of Claire and Isaac? Everyone loves that one, one of the best ever. What about when Darulio came back and turned everyone's heads? What about Dann riding the elevator all day long? And the episode where Ed finds out that Kelly got him his job and lost all his confidence? And the last episode of season 1 with Kelly as a goddess? I love that one.
What about the Ja'loja? I really love that one too. Many were disappointed it being so quiet as they had hoped for the season opener to have more meat and space stuff but I like the way how it is a true team episode, everyone gets to do something, and the stories are actually interwoven. Had Ed not spied on Kelly they would have not gone to the simulator and discover Marcus. And I do love the music as well of course. Seth really knows how to do it. As for the pee thing, my opinion is that this was something left over from the pilot that needed to be adressed and done with, otherwise fans probably would have asked forever, but in the end it was done as tastefully as possible, and also gives a little nod to Spock's Pon Farr. Pretty sure we never will hear about it again.
And the second episode with Bortus was already filmed for season 1 but for some reason held over for season 2.
As for stage doors, the trick is to go there a different day than you go to see the play. We went there at least one and a half hour before it ended, otherwise you would not be in first line, and David did only the front line. Originally I only wanted an autograph but then I saw everyone getting pictures so I got greedy and we went again the next day. And I was collecting autographs from all actors in my programme so by the fourth day even though there were David and Catherine outside I concentrated on the others trying to slip out unnoticed.
When I went to see Tom Hiddleston in theatre last year they actually had a rule that only people with a ticket from that evening were allowed to line up, and that was nicely done too, without any shoving and pushing, well organized. I wrote about it here: https://dieastra.livejournal.com/338028.html
The entry also has a link to another entry what happened some hours before on the same day - somehow my friend and I managed to stumble into the "Good Omens" premiere and saw David Tennant and Mark Gatiss getting out of their cars: https://dieastra.livejournal.com/328000.html
