Starting with the SEINFELD clip set up all the humour lessons to follow. So on a comedy front, I thought this was a perfect episode. As far as the science fiction paradigm this was using, I've always had a problem with it, but since it's used so often I can't really hold it against THE ORVILLE--even though there are so many logic problems in the execution.
In Canada, Lévesque is a well-known name and one of the historical names from the first families in New France (dating back to the 1600s). But we pronounce it like Le-Vek. Hearing the Americanized version of this name almost made my ears bleed. Nearly as bad as hearing Denis Villeneuve's name mangled in movie reviews.
