I did like a lot of the episode but there were parts that I just wasn't too sure on. The main thing was the security officer overriding the captain. I feel like it would take her, Bortas and Kelly or some combination of the three to do so. Maybe with the doctor's input. One person can't override ano...

I agree with everything you laid out. I do hope we see more different designs. One thing I really like about Star Trek is the multitude of Federation designs though when you think about it, there's no reason to have ALL those designs. You could probably get what you need out of ten designs and the U...

Well, over the last two weeks or so I skimmed through this entire thread. Can't believe I never clicked in here before. Pretty hilarious!

Gunman was supposedly killed crashing his car during his attempted getaway. Funny how nobody’s using the “T” word (again) because the shooter was a white Texan. The shooting wasn't politically or religiously motivated from what accounts I've seen so not a terrorists. I actually was in San Antonio o...

Also, if someone dies there goes my game I was playing where I was seeing if Merrick had a better survival rate than Archer. Though, I guess Archer did lose that guy from the future around Episode 8 or 9 too.

This is probably the best Orville youtube channel I've found yet and I do wonder if his facts are right. He seems to jump all over between it being on the verge of being canceled and making great ratings.

I enjoyed it but I agree, it's kind of a filler episode. Though I will give the actress props. I didn't think she was a young woman in DS9 and here it is twenty years later and she's more active than she was in that show. I don't know her age but she did well. Good acting on her part too. It looks l...

I just read this classic and really enjoyed it. Basic idea behind it is the Galactic Empire is failing and so a psychologist makes a mathematical program that will lead humanity to recovering in a thousand years to found the Second Empire that will rule for hundreds of thousands of years into the fu...

Huh? They specifically order the shuttle cloaked. It's right there in the script, not just something the FX people did. I know, but that can have more meanings than the Star Trek one. It just seemed kind of out of place is all cause we hadn't seen it before. But that may go to my other point about ...

I'd want to see the cloaking technology in use again before we know for sure it exists. Sometimes tech can be mixed up in the s CGI department. That said, cloaking from radio and visible eye range is far different than cloaking from ship sensors. In RL we almost have invisibility cloaks, that doesn'...

On the SJW issue, I was watching Generation Tech on youtube and the guy there brought up a good point, Janeway worked as a strong woman because the writers didn't feel the need to promote her at the expense of her male counterparts. And that's how true feminism in movies, books, etc. should work. It...

Wow, we were talking about a lawsuit in the Orville section but this is really cut and dry. I think the Tardigrade game has a standing to sue for sure!

I got caught to episode 5. And I got to say... it's terrible. Spores? Terrible. And what's with that security chief? Is that the dumbest senior officer in all of Star Trek history? Someone, anybody show me a more moronic senior officer than that? And where the hell was Michael? Just letting her ship...

Nah, everything Orville has picked up is fair use. The humor aspect could be argued makes it a parody and you can parody anything- hence why SNL is in business. But even without that, it's not using the same terms. Quantium Drive instead of Warp, Union instead of Federation etc. CBS / Paramount woul...

Rome was two seasons

But I agree with most of what was said. But you guys should also check out The Young Pope. It had tons of depth.
