Actually, I did. And I loved every minute of it.

Do you even watch the show, bro? Isaac is absolutely, unquestionably sentient.

You can say that again. Star Dreck Disastery was an abomination and a crime against humanity.

Dude, it's not anything like Galaxy Quest.

Galaxy Quest was a sci-fi parody and attempted primarly to be funny, with little drama. The Orville, in contrast, isn't even remotely a parody; it's a serious homage to ST:TNG, with bits of comedy as a garnish.

The Orville is my favorite sci-fi show ever. I know, know, some might say The Expanse is better, and it would be hard to argue with that. But The Orville is my favorite of all time.

If you haven't yet seen it, you owe it yourself to check it out.

480p with ads, probably. Or maybe even 360p.

Oh, hell no. That's just asking for them to verify that you're actually watching the ad, instead of walking away to ignore it.

A boring ad—even a long one—that I can step away from and 100% ignore is wayyyy preferable to an interactive ad.

parents?

FTFY

My god. I can't imagine sitting 5.5 feet away from a 40" TV, much less 11 feet. That's way too far away for movie-watching, in my opinion.

I prefer to sit at a distance that creates an equilateral triangle between my eyes and the left/right edges of the display. So for a 43" diagonal screen, a distance of about 37" is optimal for me. And for an 80" screen, I'll want to sit about 70" away.

JPEG-XL is better than WebP, though.

JPEG-XL, though, on the other hand... Is going to wipe the f***ing floor with PNG.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of Beowulfs on a chip!

Narrator: They are.

He's too busy interrupting William Shatner to file a lawsuit.
