[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 8697103, member: 6801299"] Bit of a mixed bag here of an episode. The Isaac emotions and Kaylon origins was great and only good part of the episode. The "diplomacy" one was a complete blunder and I don't know how they think that will work if both parties are on somewhat equal technological level. Sure if you want "diplomacy" and you can say we will be allies or eat 1 million quantum torpedoes, sure the presented model can work. John and Talla seemed completely stupid to me. The whole Xelayan high-gravity world super strength is paper thin plot device. If you ask any biologist, they would say that any life on high G world would look completely different from ours, most would be very short and very wide, something like starfishes, as body fluids will mostly run laterally and very short upwards pumping distance. Most humans without training get G-locked at 3 or 4g, and the taller you are, the less G's you can take as your heart must pump longer distance to your brain. maybe dwarves are from 1.2 or 1.3g world as they are short, wide and strong and elves could be from 0.9g world? But anyway, do Xelayan do not have any self control? No finesse? How do they operate all the fine equipment on Orville? Or Tallas station is made of pure "duranium"? Would uncontrolable strength not be a problem for security officer? How do they handle minor offense or drunk people? Ripping their arms out? Or do they get some kind of epileptic attack only during sex? Do they don't have some pills for that in 25th century, to reduce the chance of manslaughter during inter species relationships? [/QUOTE]
