You gotta love that The Orville is more _progressive_ than Star Trek Discovery was. Because really, that's what this episode was. It was an episode calling for people to be people and not be determined by others. And that's what I love about The Orville. Clever writing, fun and interesting characters that we like, and a very open mind.

Reminds me of the Religious practice of Circumcision - Christian, Jewish and Islamic - when the child is either new born or still young rather then letting the person reach maturity and make the choice for themselves.

@F P your opinion. And there's and old saying about opinions being like a- holes. Discovery is very action oriented but it is still Star Trek (admittedly with very stupid looking klingons) and has some amazing characters and character arcs. Orville is funny, and I'll admit it has some very New Generation vibes, but it can be a little too slapstick for my tastes. But as someone who has been a fan of Star Trek since the original, Discovery has become my favorite Trek.

[@legobrickabrac]

@Disent Design Orville is a betwean SNG and SG1. Mortus is a cross betwean SNG Worf and SG1 Tealc. Seth piched his idea to the owners of Starteck for a show that would give Star treck fans what they want which is a show like SNG, they said no and made STD instead which rips off Battle star Galacticer and Stargate Universe with its dark undertones. Orville is what Treck fans wanted.

[@legobrickabrac]

@Disent Design Its not the greatest Sci Fi show ever, who said that? I didn't, but it is howerver a show which follows or copys what made SNG, DS9, STV and SG1 and SGA so popular and is no surprise that fans of those shows like The Orville. Had Starteck Discovery is trash with its stupid female domination crap. In STD (lol STD wtf?) It's not untill episode 3 that we see a strong man because there to busy pushing Michel the female Dude captains power. The Orville has many actors from those 5 shows I mention which is another reason people like the show.

[@ForcedRejection]

Its not going to get canceled even though other posters are saying there is a higher risk with Fox. Youll see. the FanBase, Merchandise potential, and evidence it will be one of the late bloomers in popularity will all prevent fox from canceling this series. Star Trek didnt do too well to reruns in the 70s and Seth needs to explain to Fox that there is indication this will grow on people later on. the Fanbase is too powerful and would advocate not canceling it which causes the Late Bloomer and Merchandise Potential factors of Money-Making. . . . Shows get renewed if their ratings are bad but the FanBase Advocates for them I think the worse cancelation tragity in history was NoWhere Man being cancelled on UPN NoWhereman is The Third Greatest TV Series, to Orville and the three 1990s star treks opf which deep space nine was the best. the Nowhere Man Pilot has been called the best pilot for a TV series ever.

[@Dargonhuman]

It's a sign of a great show and talented writers that some of the strongest and most impactful character moments in this show have come from the joke characters. In the pilot, Bortus is set up to be the butt of most jokes, and in fairness that does happen quite often with him offering pithy comments about absurd moments or the rest of the crew trying to get him to crack his unflappable mien - to say nothing of the big, obvious gay jokes - but then we get episodes like this one and several more in Season 2 that makes Bortus, Klyden and the Moclan race in general that shows how serious the writers are taking the material, despite the crude humor and weird anachronisms.

Yes she seems like the female shapesifter , real close but think its someone else -- Ithink you shouldnt have avoided putting Star Trek: Orville in the Title, 2 reasons, because now as i show this to other people not familier with the program, i have to tell them to ignore the title, that the show is called The Orville and that the person made the title like that. 2nd reason lets not give fox any grief over any possible CBS vs FOX stuff where they bring up in court something like "look the fans even seen it as startrek, look at what this person titled their youtube" CBS use of it or something, hah. I grew up to TNG and it raised me with intelligent TV. I saw all the star trek series, the best one is clearly deep space nine. The Orville is SUper good and i knew seth could do this,... its too new to compared to star trek series rankings and in goodness, but i will say #1 deep space nine is easily the best star trek and anyone who says otherwise has strange perceptions and #2 Orville is Super Fantastic

[@carolynallisee2463]

Mmmmm, very thought provoking. Yet, just such a thing has happened here, too, not merely on Earth, but in the UK. The now-respected Bronte sisters had to publish their early works under male pseudonyms, as writing, especially novel writing, was thought to be a a man's job, and not something a woman should undertake. I know that Anne Bronte used to release her work under the name of 'Acton Bell': the other two sisters were also Bells, but I can't recall what first names they used. The idea that a woman had to use a male pseudonym to get her work published might seem strange to us these days, but in all honesty, it wasn't that long ago. It is something to remember, as we stride into the future, that we are demanding changes in cultural perceptions and opinions at break neck speed... and that, sometimes, insisting on such rapid changes can cause violent backlashes.
