Frakes’ The Orville episode “Pria” wasn’t my favorite episode of The Orville, but it was pretty good and one of the first (episode five) to have a genuinly ‘Trek feel to it. I hope he can somehow inject that same love into Discovery.

An entire committee of people didn’t think that show through.

Discouraging him has the exact same effect.

Meanwhile the rest of the world can just keep using their existing Netflix account.

you almost never see toy ads aimed at and starring black children, and starring as the leads no less.

If there’s anything that science has taught me, it’s that the universe really enjoys having a go at us.

Black Mirror’s season 4 premier, “USS Callister” was a dark take on future technology dressed up as The Original Series and controlled by a sociopath. And even that was a more interesting and optimistic spin on Star Trek than CBS’ Discovery.

From Seth himself: There will be no musical episode, but there might be an episode involving communicating through music.

Never EVER underestimate Rexxar!

Wait until they find out that oxygen is biased towards men! Breathing is basically rape.

We associate EFFECTIVE & PROFESSIONAL servitude and helpfulness with the British butler stereotype. Have you ever met a good butler with an American/Canadian/Australian accent? NEITHER HAVE I!

Digital assistants have no gender. However, many do feature male-sounding voices (for those of us that cannot differentiate things that are human from things that only sound human and/or need to defeat the patriarchy while maintaining their grocery list).

Japan sells pedal-less bikes for young kids, and that’s essentially how they learn. However, in typical Asian style, most Japanese kids go from those 8" wheels to full-sized adult bikes (with factory-squeaky brakes and everything) and just have to figure it out. It works for them, though.

I also learned quicker practicing in my spacious backyard instead of the neighborhood sidewalk or driveway.

Mars, duh.

It was most likely them assuming that rest of the “land” was exactly the same so they had to settle somewhere.

It was probably a tie.

Isn’t this literally what happened in the movie 2012?

In 1946, no one would’ve called Americans ignorantly irradiating themselves while playing games on conquered land “normal”. In 2018, however, there is probably a non-insignificant number of human who could be persuaded to think so.
