It was revealed in the last season that Bortus's mate is a biological female, which is about as straight as Moclans get...

I'm liking it so far. Better than the current crop of Star Trek.

It’s a dumb show with little humor but I watch it anyway because it’s a tribute to Star Trek (original).   Ever notice the human crew, and mostly the captain, get nostalgic for things a resident of 2018 would be nostalgic for?   For one example I mean, a Kermit doll?  That’s from my childhood. And some guy living 500 or so years in the future shares my nostalgia?  I guess I’m about the same age as McFarland, who by the way, is not a good actor. I hope some other producer tries to make their own Star Trek tribute show, in a way zombie shows were spawned by the appeal of The Walking Dead

"She."  I don't know if that's a woman that looks like a man or a man trying to look like a woman.  I remember it played Sisko's roommate in DS9.  Either way, it can't act, looks disgusting, and wasted too much time in the episode.z

Same.  Two really laugh-out-loud moments that episode were the drive by and Dan's "I miss you" text to Alara.

I think the entire point of things from our time is to point out the silliness of Seth McFarland getting the green light for this show.

Fox really should have let him do a real Star Trek for CBS and it would have not been the train wreck discovery was.  Fox could have even charged CBS to use him and Fox could have focused on making shows people do not watch.

Seriously.... The only Fox shows I can name are The Orville, the Simpsons and Bob's Burgers and I only watch The Orville and Bob's Burgers on Hulu.  I haven't watched a new episode of the Simpsons in well over a decade.

You can watch it right on the Fox website without being a cable subscriber.  There's an odd 60 minute countdown that starts when you select it, but that's how I saw Ep. 2.

The moral of the episode was that the military plays a vital function protecting civilians like Alara's family of stuck up academics, that many of its officers have brains to match the civilian population, and that they have to combine that with physical courage as well.  Half the episode was a pointed rejection of the typical liberal ridicule of the military.

The other half of the episode was about saying goodbye to Halston Sage (temporarily I hope, but it looks bad) in a way that gave her some good material to work with, a few cool action movie stunts, makes it clear she'll be missed, and leaves the door open for Alara to return with the open ended, positive circumstances of finally connecting with her family.  There is no doubt in my mind that this episode was specifically written to be the anti-Skin Of Evil, the TNG episode in which a random evil oil slick abruptly kills Tasha Yar - no noble sacrifice for the team, no rear guard suicide delaying action, no dying words, just bam she's dead.  That episode was wildly unpopular because Yar's death felt so cheap and disrespectful, just Red Shirt #243 getting blasted by the monster of the week, and because they were careful to close the door firmly shut on Yar coming back (although Denise Crosby did manage to return for several later episodes, after the show came under different management).  Picard even refused to kill the oil slick at the end, it's not for us to judge blah blah blah.  Orville did almost the exact opposite, the whole episode was a gift to and love letter for Alara/Halston.

BTW the effects guys kicked ass tonight, Alara's homeworld and that bird-horse thing was excellent.

Alara's father is played by Voyager's Emergency Medical Hologram, the psycho was Enterprise's Dr. Phlox.

I was out after the second episode, you can call it funny, witty, or whatever, it was just too much homo for me.

Don’t like it, don’t want it in my face, and I sure as heck don’t care that one of the “life mates” identifies as female.

There was no redeeming quality to the whole Mr. Slave and bend over doctor scenes, it went SJW fantasy and I’m done with it.

Well, this was obviously the “goodbye” episode for Halston Sage. Decent episode, mainly because there was minimal Seth McFarland.  But her leaving the show is going to kill it IMHO.  The gay porn episode put a big hurting on it, and having one of the most popular characters leave is going to be the death knell, especially if they make the creepy elephant trunk guy replacement permanent.

I think she’s leaving to do a movie or something, so I think it’s her choice to leave, not that she’s being dumped.

1. Season premier about as exciting as those episodes where the writers are on vacation or a Clip Show.

2. Second episode as queer as a $3 bill.

3. Third episode ho-hum with the added benefit of removing one of the two hot babes in the entire series. The babe is replaced by a creature with a dick for a nose.

See a pattern here?

This season is dead to me.

Good summary!

I really liked Halston/Alara (especially to look at ). Definitely disappointing to see her leave. Any Hollywood news on why she departed the show? Seemed a bit unexpected.

Agreed on the effects. Like I said in my other recent post, it's nice to see quality special effects without them being stupidly overdone.

Also liked seeing both ST Docs!
