So, let people enjoy things, unless they happen to be the newer star treks? That’s you’re takeway? Smooth.

The entire point of Orville was so Seth could play out his teenage fantasies abotu being a TNG captain. Going in another direction would be contrary to what this show is about or for.

Its pretty clear those songs weren’t chosen from Billy Joel’s greatest hits by random. Not to mention that his ex points out to  him in that ep he has 11 “passive/aggressive” smiles and just one ”in-love” smile.  Things that make you go hmm...

As with many Billy Joel songs about women and his love songs in general, these two are at their core mocking patronizing condescension from the songwriter. This is emphasized from the manner that Ed treats Teleya and how earnestly unaware he is about it. A passive/aggressive utilizing passive/aggressive love songs to…

There’s lots of things they could be doing. Perhaps like me, you might want to concern yourself with the story they are telling, not all the other stories they could be telling.

So paraphrasing Shaw I am somehow a supporter of oligarchy?  You are just a silly, silly person.

Its not the writing staff’s job to tell the story you want them to tell.  

Maybe try watching the Cage and get back to us.

Information in the Star Trek universe has always been need to know since day one.  

Have you thought that maybe Tyler becomes so trendy among Klingon culture that many of them choose to become like him.  They do seem to be rather imitative.

Oh, please.  There are copious episodes of TNG where the plot hinges on something a crew member isn’t talking about. It’s like people only remember what they want to remember about TNG and anything that doesn’t fit they’ve conveniently forgotten.

Maybe you can give commenting during this one a miss.  And maybe the next 5 seasons too.

I agree. I think he looks quite a bit better with the stashe.

Honestly, In Theory was a pretty embarassingly poorly written and performed episode. I recommend Disco’s Calypso. It was a lot like this one, actually with a touch of Her. 

Well, in theory was a pretty bad TNG episode.  Mind you, if you like this I recommend Disco’s Calypso.  It manages to put all this in a scant 15 minutes, and you get Homer as well.

Yep, one of the better eps of the Orville. Still only about half as endearing as Disco’s Calypso, but not the usual embarrassment of an ep I’ve come to expect. Certainly better than the Data episode of TNG it was aping, but honestly, that episode was brutally awful so there was lots of room for improvement.

I seem to recall a scene were a bridge control panel erupted into flames.

No, you are clearly not a teacher. Take it from one who has done and taught (writing science fiction), That line is taken from George Bernard Shaw you twat, cribbed from Man and Superman.  Never heard of Shaw?  He was writing plays before your great grandfather was in diapers.  There, lesson for today. Now you’ve…

Makes it even sadder when Orvillie cultists try to spread their gospel, when even mildly discriminating people know this show they are raving about is nothing but nostalgia. Still, I don’t think Seth is laughing at the fans. I just think after a career of writing Family Guy he isn’t actually capable of producing…

Come on though, you weren’t already upset that the Union approved of using a new drug that removes the ability to consent to roofie diplomats into stopping a relatively minor conflict, which also had zero repercussions? This is the Orville’s universe and how it works. We all know this by now.  This is what the Orville…
