You know, I'm perfectly happy with The Orville. I was worried it would just be Star Trek parody - but it totally isn't. The humour is exactly the sort of stuff I I thought when I learned that Spock had a mating season that drove him mad, or when Kirk battled a slow moving lizard. The jokes just write themselves. The Sci-fi is totally on-point AND it's a well developed soap opera with character arcs that take episodes to develop. It's really everything I want in a sci-fi series at this point - I just hope it gets 3 to 5 more seasons.

Seriously go watch a few of the thousands of videos of animals being eaten alive, it's horrifying. Ever heard a bat screeching as a Komodo dragon swallows it whole and you can hear it screeching the entire way down? Sure a few smarter species get bored and depressed in a zoo and they shouldn't be there but 99% of the animals in zoo's (good zoos anyway) have a wonderful and happy life. Most animals don't come close to being as intelligent and as self aware as humans and have no idea they're 'captive', they just know they have a safe place to live, clean water and daily food plus some entertainment.

One of my favorite things about this show is that not everything works out for in them at the end. Like ST, even if the main characters live, bad stuff happens to them and not all issues are resolved. In this case, the zoo still exists and there are no plans to ever disband it. If anything the new exhibit (reality tv) will probably make things worse for the live exhibits. The zookeepers will either lessen the amenities provided to them or force bad and stressful stimuli on them to make them as entertaining as the Jersey Shore. It isn’t a good thing for them, but it’s good that this is more than a ST parody like it was portrayed in the commercials. If idiots don’t cancel it, it could be something amazing.

It’s arguably one of the best ways to be social conscious in media. It doesn’t follow a “good guy bad guy” plot line and allows each characters perspectives to equally come out and equally be challenged. It’s stuff like this that made the old Star Trek special. No crew member ever felt _completely_ above one another despite rank and that allowed every word said some merit. It’s something only Star Trek managed to combine with a sense of wonder and adventure. I miss that feeling.

If Discovery had been like this people would have complained that they weren't doing anything new, just recycling old Star Trek plots. Disco's first season wasn't the best, but the second season is off to a good start. Orville is fun, and works as a parody, but as the real thing it would have been utterly disappointing. Enterprise was canceled because the fans grew tired of the same recycled stories and plots and didn't tune in again. They would've shunned this as well...

That's the main reason Issac is part of the crew, to further diplomatic relations with the Union, but for Issac's people it's so they can have a better understanding of organic lifeforms. Going to war with the Calabans to rescue a few hundred or even a few thousand captured organics doesn't really do them any favors, and actually just pisses off the only organic species they see as an equal. I wouldn't be surprised if Issac's people did the same thing. The only reason they don't is because they prefer a more scientific approach, observing organics in their "natural state".

Carter Studying a war could be interesting, but for the Calabans it wouldn't be war, more akin to extermination. Think of it less as Klingons vs Starfleet and more the humans in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. To the Calabans we would be the intelligent apes; smarter than normal sure, but still not seen as equal or even as truly sentient. It would have been pretty easy for us to wipe out the apes had the Simian Flu not decimated the planet. Watching something like that doesn't appeal to Issac's people.

Oh, he's the big guy to your left. You can't see him from where you are.

This is the kind of situation where you visit vengeance upon these people when you get your freedom. Also illustrates the more basic point that "rights" are always defined by those who have the capacity for violence. And if you don't have that, you can't get the rights you feel you deserve.

Nice to see they could capture Pinhead

How come the two medium sized humans gets a living room and a bed room but the huge bigfoot creature has barely enough room to swat and take a dump?

Tbh I never knew that Seth was a fan of Star trek or even Star wars.

I like how he does episodes from TOS. With a twist. This is like The Pilot episode.

Humans are not the or a higher species. No species is higher or lower than any other. There's no possible metric for such a thing. Insects, Arachnids, Fish, Mammals, Reptiles, Birds, Crustaceans, all creatures think and feel as research shows, as it also shows all living beings have subjective experience and the same capability for consciousness we have (can only measure capability, we can't prove consciousness in ourselves, other humans, or other creatures, so capability is the term used). Even if no creature thought or felt, they are still living organisms as is all life and should be treated with Love, care and respect, as with all Life too. Use harmless repellents to avoid and prevent infestations and gently and carefully move them from your home if they are there. Ironically harmless repellents are also the most effective method and when the proper repellent is used (usually Plants or Oils) and is properly harmless, then it is exactly that.

The giant creature lives in a display case, but everyone else gets a whole habitat?
