Mission: Majority Rule | Season 1 Ep. 7 | THE ORVILLE

[@Rathkryn]

The most terrifying Sci-Fi episode I've ever seen. Sure, she _could_ tell her world that they could do better. She could also get ten million downvotes for doing it.

Have you seen similar Black Mirror's episode: Nosedive?

I thought this was the best episode of The Orville I’ve seen. Very relevant to today’s social media culture.

[@zZGeeWizardZz]

This show is an absolute gem! I never know what to expect when I watch a new episode and I'm always blown away by the story telling!

[@sithlordsoup]

this episode was nuts. It really puts things into perspective especially with almost everything on the internet, like how businesses and actual people are rated by a score system now. also it was like reddit in 3D form.

[@cartoonfan959]

watch Black Mirror, episode Nosedive,

[@sithlordsoup]

cartoonfan959 I’ve heard about that, it was much discussed after this episode came out

[@peoplez129]

It's ok for businesses to have a score system. The only consequence is more or less business. People even have a score system, such as credit rating and criminal record. The problem is personal score systems based on legal behavior or behavior that should be legal, and real consequences arising from that. China already has this system. And as we all know, it can be used to do crazy things, from taking peoples pets away to limiting their access to things like shopping and travel. In China, you can literally be banned from public transportation for having a low social score. And the punishment could have nothing to do with what got you that bad social score to begin with. So for example, if you make enough unpopular speech, you can have all of these things taken away from you. But it's not a system run by the people getting to vote for it, it's a system run by a government, that can be weaponized arbitrarily against anyone at any time. Just a few clicks and they can turn a normal person into a nobody shunned by society. And they do it every single day, right now. And the worst part (other than the punishments), is it's a system that only really tracks things it deems bad. It doesn't really balance the good against the bad. So you can do all of these good things in society; you can be polite to everyone, hold doors, allow people to pass you on the road or street, feed the poor, etc....and none of that is factored into the score. So it's a system with only "down votes", that punishes but doesn't reward. The only "reward" is not being punished.

That may apply for US, but not all countries. Also, voting over the internet live would be a disaster, and I don't think it will ever happen (not sayin there isn't a moral story to this episode)

So Orville has finally come to denmark. Long after star trek discovery came. I am one of the few who kinda like star trek discovery. But Orville is a gassilion times better. It is so much closer to the star trek spirit.

[@shearnotspear]

I have a real problem with this episode, because the 'social engineering' system is just so poorly designed. It's weighted towards negative votes, meaning that eventually everyone will hit 10,000,000 downvotes. This is because Upvotes seemingly do nothing to reduce the amount of Downvotes, and each person can vote more than once. It's a badly designed system that I don't believe could've become so culturally ingrained.

[@lisaj2269]

The episode fails the moment he does the stupid statue thing. It's a dumb plot convenience. They needed something less ridiculous- it's sooo obviously a set up and not believable that he suddenly starts that nonsense and won't stop. This show has too much stuff like that. And way too much ruining plots with awful unfunny humor that destroys the tension. It's riding the Star Trek coat tails so everyone forgives the dumbness. Especially given the offensive wokester awfulness that is currently destroying the Star Trek legacy. But this show is mediocre at best. It isn't original in its plots or characters or premise. Humor is it's one original thing and that's so poorly done it ruins many an episode. I want to like it. But they need to get someone outside their bubble to give input or something
