[@VolcyThoughts]

“The older, less intelligent one” lmaooo

[@tracilynn2313]

So this may sound nuts given the fact Isaac is...literally a robot...but the fact they made it a point for Isaac and Claire to talk about how Claire never found the right man to raise kids with....then had Isaac slip into a father figure role and bond with Marcus and Ty...then had that endearing moment at the end of the episode leads to me believe some sort of relationship is going to form. The actor that plays Isaac has said that Isaac is going to slowly start sounding more human as the series progresses so I'm guessing he will start to behave more human in general and maybe even start to have something akin to emotional attachments. I know he is artificial and doesnt actually have emotions in the same way others do but even if they dont have a relationship that is physically intimate I get the feeling this episode is one big hint to something.

[@andrewdiaz3529]

You win.

[@oiat]

Nailed it

[@White-ny4ws]

As Data in Startreck already stated, robots do react to external stimuli and eventually anticipate them (in my recollection he used the word input patterns). When the stimuli is absent it will be noticeable and the robot may experience something similar to "missing" this stimuli.

[@pyromaniac2104]

[@daniels7907]

The hilarious part being that Isaac actually *does* end up doing a better job at enforcing discipline with the kids than Claire does. But then, a super-strong, hyper-intelligent robot with limited emotional range is going to take less crap than your average single mom...

[@andych8425]

"The game will not spoken of again" XD

I believe that is exactly the reason why Isaac is more successful. He does not possess what we call Patience. However if something or someone poses a hinderance he will eliminate it efficiently.

Pretty cool as the ship was descending that the shuttles GPWS audio alert "Too low, terrain". Just like a real plane. I was surprised! Just little details make this show enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@TheStapleGunKid]

I really hope they do an episode where the Orville travels to the planet of Kaylon. I can just imagine a whole planet full of condescending racist robots who are always talking down to the Orville crew.

[@edwardwood6532]

[@tracilynn2313]

Seth MacFarlane had said that they are going to delve more into Isaac's background so i can imagine they will go to his planet

[@TheStapleGunKid]

We can only hope. Also it would be nice to see them building off of prior episodes. For example, it would be great if that old alien bio-ship they found settled on a planet and the Orville went there to see how things are going and maybe help them set up their new home.

My favorite Isaac scene! Made me die

[@skylarking12]

I think, in a more serious show, we'd see that "ship kids" traveling along into exploratory and military missions with their parents, would not behave like these boys. If "Ship Kids" met "Planetary kids", the planetary kids would think the ship kids were weird, stiff, goody-two-shoes squares, probably. And the Ship Kids would find dirtsiders to be very random, unorganized, irresponsible, and selfish, among other things Living in the closed society of a starship, especially one that goes into military conflicts and exploratory missions into the unknown, from time to time, and so forth, "Ship Kids" would be more like Wesley Crusher and less like Beavis and Butthead. It's a survival issue: the crew would not tolerate bad and disruptive behavior, and the crew would enforce a culture of everyone following chain of command, keeping order, sharing and helping each other, for mutual survival. Sure, little kids start out dumb and have to acquire cultural norms, but by the time they are in early teens, they'd have assimilated a lot of these cultural behaviors already. Imagine your typical army brat, in a military boarding school in a kibbutz, in a disputed territory under constant attack. Would they really fight over a video game and play the "he's touching me/no I'm not" game, over and over? Or would they be so "over" that, and more adult-like overall, at the same age? If they exprienced a problem in their shuttle, would they continue to be jerks, or instantly jump back into their seats and strap-in, without needing to be told? I'm not saying they would be saints. But the KINDS of misbehaviors and trouble they'd get into, would have a very distinct character, different from dirtsider kids. And there's story potential in that.

Can confirm that everything you've said is completely accurate

[@crackle6875]

Hmmm, not sure. I’ve known several kids who grew up on military bases & mostly went to schools that only had other military families’ kids. Didn’t find they were any more “mature” than the other non-military kids, even the ones who lived in non-peaceful areas. Than again, none of them were raised on sea faring ships.

[@sameaston9587]

And rightly so. Claire learned a hard lesson she should not have have babies without a man especially with the demanding job she have. Celebrity women who claimed they're super moms who are single mothers lied it's easy because they got nannies. It is not easy raising children single hand especially when working full time with no nannies or support from father s or relatives. Now a days some single mothers have to depended on their children's grandfathers, uncles or older male cousins who are good role models to lead them on the right path.

[@thanosdarkside]

I once dated a woman like Dr. Finn, and her children were just as bad behaving as these kids. After I had enough ot their bad behavior, I grabbed the both them, slammed them each in separate seats, told them to be quiet, and sit still and quietly. One of them started to backtalk me, so I backhanded her and said, you open your mouth again and give you worse. After that, she didn't want to dated me anymore, because she felt that I was too strict and hard. When I last saw her, she was at her home and I was visiting. She came into the room and saw her oldest son putting on his coat and she asked him where are you goin? To Bill's place. She said, he's 5 years older than you. You cannot go. She went to her bedroom, to change her clothes. After she went into bedroom, he put on his coat and left. When she returned, she asked where her son was. I said, after you went to your room, he put on his coat and left. She started to shout I'm going to, and I interrupted, you aren't going to do anything, you never do, that's why he and your other kids, never obey, or respect you. They have no fear of punishment, since you never spanked them. It's going to get worse when they all get older. I never saw her again after that. What a mess of a family.

[@ger5565]

I thought the future was supposed to be better. Parents still let their kids run wild without discipline???

[@deezynar]

Giving orders without consequences trains them to ignore her. She should have established an element of deathly fear in them many years earlier. It is very hard to fix the problem at this point. Not impossible, but it will take a massive shift in her belief system, and that is will be harder than changing the children.

[@SwobyJ]

Usually deathly fear isn't even necessary. Just consequences. Any consequences.

[@menthy]

Eventually this strategy fails. In the end, using a fear-based system of discipline will only teach children to not get caught and also to behave a certain way in order to avoid punishment, not because that behavior is the right way to behave. I knew a kid like this growing up. Had super strict parents that put "deathly fear" in him who punished him quite often. It backfired. He just got worse. Learned how to cheat and lie better. And he rarely did the right thing because he wanted to do the right thing. He was just trying to avoid punishments, and he learned how to flatter and kiss ass to those people in his life who could hurt him the most. His whole value system was centered around fear, pain, and avoidance of pain. He learned all the wrong lessons. He's in his 30s now, divorced, unemployed and a drug addict. I believe he's been arrested at least once. He pretty much became a waste of a human life because he was raised with the "element of deathly fear" that you suggest. Yes, consequences matter, but "deathly fear," not so much.

[@deezynar]

Wow, an entire philosophy of child rearing based on observing one person. The scientific community is waiting for your paper to be published. Thousands of generations of humans were raised with fear, I suppose all of them turned out to be horrible. I've known plenty of kids just like the ones in the video. Their parents let them get away with all sorts of stuff. They turned out like the one you describe. A cousin of mine was murdered by a rival drug dealer. His mommy and daddy nevver told him "no" and stuck to it. Fear is a good thing.

[@Keihryon]

Star Trek the Next Generation did the same thing. I always found it odd how civilians and children were on a ship that was nearly being destroyed on a regular basis. But for the record, the Orville is not a warship. It was explained in the first episode that it's a mid-level exploration vessel.

[@sonaruo]

and it is a research vessel no a warship

[@sonaruo]

and all their missions evolving the ship were not military most of time responding to sos signals

[@edwardwood6532]

Not the best but an entertaining character development show.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

I really liked this episode. It's clearly inspired by one of the many Star Trek episodes where people who have conflicting personalities are stranded somewhere with each other have to learn to work together. TNG, DS9, and Voyager all had a few episodes like this.

[@edwardwood6532]

Personally I thought it was the weakest of the newer episodes as the generic survival situation demonstrating someone's character. Sometimes less entertaining character development storylines that payoff later are necessary. For what it was, it was extremely well done and I have no complaints based on the season so far.

[@johnow7]

Most black moms are single today. Lets portray black moms as single in the future. *sigh* They could have given a dead husband story, but I guess that they got to give it a present day spin. This is one aspect of the show that I am having trouble with. Lamar gets his episode and basically it portrays him as an incorrigible clown. Claire gets an episode and, although a better character study than Lamar, she is a single mom by choice. It is like MacFarlane is throwing in the most annoying and dysfunctional stereotypes of the black community that he can dig up. What's next? They mimic that horrid TNG episode and have men in an African tribe culture fight over Kelly? Or a planet colonized by blacks in a culture modeled after late twentieth/ early twenty first century American gangsta' rap culture?

[@Rathkryn]

In 1940s horror movies the black guy would always survive because the monster would jump out, his eyes would get wide and then he'd say _"Feets don't fail me now!"_ So the black guy surviving in a horror movie was racist. Fast forward a few decades and now it's racist because the black guys always die in horror movies. Now you think it's racist to show a *doctor* and *officer* of a starship being a single mother. Even though it's well established that women of all races these days get discouraged with finding a man after they concentrate on their career and go with the "back-up plan" of artificial insemination. I sincerely hope that one day you'll get past looking at people's skin color and framing everything you see and hear around it.

[@PunditKING]

You do know it's only racist because it was only one black guy represented that way in a movie. Could you imagine if all white dudes where plaid as sexiest or weak. lol thats if they would ever do that, with there ever being one white guy alone in a movie plaid like that . Mind you I was shocked when that one black guy survived in that shark movie Morgan Freeman was in. Well that would be too black males in a horror very rare. Thats why GET OUT was so good and a much better horror movie, ppl are tired of cookie cutter movies.

[@johnow7]

I remember watching Santa Fe Trail. It was made in 1940 and blacks in it were central to the narrative, but were played as one dimensional characters with no lines. When They were in danger from white racists, they showed fear by opening their eyes really wide.
