[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9012726, member: 7030526"] Have not gotten to that episode yet, damn, is it a female character that does this? I literally just started watching the Orville today, although I had to make a break after epsode 3. This is the series that was supposed to be less political then Nu-Trek? And its way more serious then expected, I was expecting Galaxy Quest, but without the they are really actors in modern times angle, played straighter, but still super funny. Its more Sarcastic Star Trek, nothing like Galaxy Quest which was genuinely apolitical. I mean episode 3 is a miracle in that it didn't get boycotted by multiple different groups angry at different things. And episode 2 makes a weird comparsion to Zoos that just doesn't work with the alien race presented which is too human like for it to work. It is funny at times, but most of the humour is sarcasm based, or the unprofessional behavior of the helmsmen. The aestetic they nailed and the setting is great and I love the characters, but some of the attempts at deep moral comundrums I wasn't expecting from this show so it feel more shocking then I think it would otherwise. But the moral condrums don't land right or work properly. The Mocklins are right for viewing the Union, or more specifically the humans as hypocritcs, and they fold way too easily, major cultural change is never that easy. And the death in episode 1 was so unexpected and horrifying that it felt like it belong on different show entirely, like a punch from outside your field of vision. I kind of like the show maybe, parts I didn't like, but its so far from what I've been lead to believe it was that I feel I need time to digest it. I feel sooooo mislead. [/QUOTE]
