There was a really subtle thing that happened in this episode, so subtle that I never caught it until just now, that could have served as SUCH a strong talking point about the subject the episode explores. The crime the original two explorers were convicted of was not yielding their seat to a pregnant woman, which they did because they didn't notice this woman. Now, someone took that picture, which means someone DID notice. But yet instead of simply pointing out to the two men that there was a pregnant woman there who should have their seat, they took a picture and shared it for people to cast judgment and shame. Whoever took that picture was NOT actually interested in correcting the wrong, because they could have pointed the problem out and likely have thus solved it. They didn't want to solve the issue, they wanted to be the catalyst for casting shame and leading the attack. And that is extremely true of our modern shame culture. These people have no interest in actually solving the problems they cry against, they just want to be the standard-bearer in a glorious battle. They don't fight to win the war, they fight so they can be part of the battle.

There is also the fact that an Elector can vote contrary to the district they represent (Also most people don't know that while a majority of electors are people that hold office a lot of them are owners of corporations, you can find who your state electors and the elector for your district are via google and wikipedia has an archive of all electors for each presidential election.

Karl Lieck Unless it was replaced with a similar system to the electoral college, it’d be an outright disaster. The electoral college is useful because without it, high population states like California and New York would control the entire election. You can’t blame the college for the candidates that came. You blame the people who voted. True democracy, like a popular vote, doesn’t work with such a large landmass and population.

China is literally going to implement a similar system, using a variety of data to rank people, some of which is objective data such as credit scores, and other data is subjective like social media presence.

Sure, but the criteria of 'good' is 'matches the party line'. It's literally crowd sourcing your inquisition/witch hunt, which in a setup with modern infotech is a viable option to explore for a totalitarian regime to help it retain or tighten control. Mind you, I seem to have the ability to detach my evaluations from all morality and ethics. Morally and ethically it's an utterly horrific nightmare just to imagine, much less know is being tested in the real world by a powerful governing body.

But here's the catch. This situation isn't as black and white as it seems. They aren't intentionally using 1984 as a instruction book. They are delusional because of Human ambition. And their ambition is to become a hero. This ambition blinds them and they cannot see over their hypocrisy because of ambition and the dopamine that they are rewarded with on social media.

The Founding Fathers were concerned about mob rule/democracy. That's why the US government is set up as a republic. Glad I'm not the only one who picked this up.

The Founders despised Democracy. Jefferson called Democracy the worst system of govt ever devised. Another, (can't remember who) said that Democracy would be "Trading one tyrant 3,000 miles away, for 3,000 tyrants one mile away". Franklin described it as being "Two wolves and a lamb deciding who is for dinner." What they developed was a Constitutional Republic, designed to counteract mob tyranny through checks and balances. Franklin continued his quote with saying that "Liberty is a heavily armed lamb contesting the vote". The problem with Big Government is that it circumvents checks and balances, and has allowed the mob to be bribed into trading away everyone's Liberty for "free stuff". That is how every Democracy declines and collapses.

Jason Wright I am tired of talking to dumb asses on the internet, a democracy defined as: 1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. A Republic is a form of democracy, however it is not a true democracy, so u are giving me quotes taken out of context by men who understood the meaning of what they were saying and railing against a pure form of democracy in which everyone votes and the majority rules, make no mistake they knew that the republic they were in favor of was a form of democracy so u are eather a. Unaware of the misconception u are perpetuating, or b. using it for other means and know fully well u are omitting this info, take this how u will I dont intend to ingauge u again

Amazing and frightening. Thank you for brining these things to light. These are strange times.

I remember this episode. 15 years ago, I would have said it was weird. Now I think we are living in that place. In 10 years, this episode will be banned. How sad.

This is exactly what makes Orrvile tje new Star Trek this was Gene Roddenberry's recipe that made Star Trek. A big thumbs up for Dave and this video and a shout out to all support the Orrvile that we get many seasons of it.

It’s alarming that our society is so obsessed with this mob rule mentality. I completely agree and you brought up many many good, thought provoking points. It’s too bad that more in our society (mainly my own generation) don’t have a similar outlook.

Thanks for suggesting the show, it truly is excellent and I am enjoying every episode. :)

And here we are, 4 years on, and your critique is even more relevant…..damn

because the word 'racism' has extreme negative connotations, and it's difficult to defend yourself from being accused of being 'racist' when the party accusing you assumes the right to redefine the meaning of the word to whatever they feel like

i love how you put things into perspective. awesome.

I absolutely loved this episode, one of my favorites.

Btw, this concept was explored in Black Mirror, i think "Nosedive", e1s3, and it was amazing Black Mirror is very good harsh social satire, i recommend everyone to watch it

I don't think anyone wants a future like the one The Orville expects. The only reason we've been heading in that direction is because people are too naive to notice it, but if we were all fully aware of this it wouldn't be happening.

This episode you mention about people not knowing they are on a starship sounds a whole lot like Robert Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky. I wonder if it was inspired by it.

Nosedive Black Mirror: Season 3, Episode 1

This show is awesome. Also, who here think Adrianne Palicki would be so much better as Miss Marvel ?

Excellent summary and pretty much right in line with what I was thinking while watching it.

Brilliant commentary ! Thanks!

I was listening to Newstalk's The Right Hook show when George Hook made those comments about rape ... the moment he said what he did I said to myself, holy shit George don't bloody say that, you're fucked now. Of course I was right, and you were right, his apology made no difference it was just chum to the ravening sharks. Letting people know they should take care of themselves is not victim blaming and does not excuse perpetrators. If George had said, ''Lads, don't leave the George (a Dublin gay bar) at 3am by yourself, you might get beaten up by thugs'' I wouldn't be offended as a gay man, I would be thinking ''You're right,'' and me not wanting to walk out of the George alone at 3am would not excuse the behaviour of anyone who did have intent to harm me.

And the Black Mirror Episode resembles the same basic theme of the 2003 novel "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom".... but the mob harping agains The Orville for doing it while its mob is oblivious to Black Mirror, are themselves oblivious to the previous novel. So the question, how many of them will not have the necessitate self-awareness to admit they are no better than the people they are harping about.... and how many will continue to do it because they are effectively talking house plants.

I had to give everyone in this a thumbs up. It's nice to see some people aren't completely insane.

I think Seth has moved to the right a little over the last few years. I am not saying he is a conservative, but he moved a little to the center. An example of this is the character Brian from his series Family Guy. When the series began Brian was the voice of reason. He was the idealized image of what a liberal thought a man should be. As time went on and seasons past Brian became more of what the conservative thinks a liberal male is. Link of example below. I often wonder if this might be influenced by Rush Limbaugh. From what I have heard Seth and Rush have become good friends over the last few years. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pop60pqEhKjdXc4.html
