do the lazy people get a decent size apartment or house? do they get their own matter synthesizer?

what do they do with lazy people who don't work?

it would be a great closure for what happened to a minor character after leaving the show and it would also be a nice easter egg for those who watched the first season

edit:space station not space ship

What’s y’all’s option on Issac and the whole end of season 2 dilemma with him? Cause me personally I’d have voted to keep him deactivated. Atleast 32 union ships were destroyed (that number probably crew much much larger due to 32 being the amount destroyed or disconnected within the first few minutes), assuming all the ships have around the same number of staff, knowing the Orville had around 300 that means Issac is responsible for at the minimum 10,000 union officers deaths. Idk about y’all but I couldn’t trust him after that

So ive noticed that when the orville enters combat they are almost always being chased and shot at. so why havent they installed retractable turrets on any side of the ship? It would provide great usage in combat situations and a great way for your ass not getting kicked by agile kaylon ships.

So i ask again why no turrets.

this is my 5th or 6th time (i lost count atp) rewatching the show within the last month or so, i quite literally know the whole script off the back of my hand atp, you could tell me the name of a episode and i would be able to tell you what happens in that episode, obsessed with this show is an understatement. i could talk about the orville for hours. i need MORE EPISODESSSSSS

This girl that always complains about Issac it’s so annoying makes me wanna throw something at my TV.

Season 3 episode 10 I have been thinking about this for a little. So when Kelly and Lysella are talking Lysella asked her if they have movies and Kelly said something like (we have something similar to what you would call movies) this kinda confused me. That way she phrased it made it sound like they don’t have movies but we know that they do so do they not make movies anymore. What do you guys think?

In season 2 ep 2 when they sent a shuttle down to save the people of the planet getting destroyed, they only had time for one trip and could only save about half of the population, but my question is why didn’t they just upgrade two shuttles and send send them both down, they’d have been able to save close to everyone. Obviously it was for the plot but is there any real reason why they couldn’t have sent two of them

After years of seeing clips on tiktok (mainly the episode where Bortus and Kliden are addicted to cigarettes) I finally decided to watch the show, and after binging all 3 seasons over the course of 2 weeks, I wish I found this show sooner.

It's such a great show, it honestly picked up in the middle of the 2nd season and really found it's own place in the 3rd. But the reason I'm sad is because there's no new episodes until Season 4 comes out. This show honestly exceeded all expectations, I thought it was just "family guy in space" star trek parody. I'm glad i discovered it and really wish we had more episodes. This show has the potential to become a massive series, and might even be able to match up to Star Trek one day.

But TL;DR: I'm sad I finished the show and wish season 4 was here already.

I feel like I'm in a minority when it comes to some things about the show. I was fully expecting the finale to either be conclusive about the kaylon/moclan/krill war or end it on a cliffhanger but they completely put that aside and went a different route. I'm not bothered by it, we're getting another season and it seems that most people liked it, as far as I can tell. Something I was definitely expecting from the last episode is that Isaac would get his emotions. I've been annoyed by Isaac and claire's relationship since the beginning because it was not only boring, but also stupid and felt forced. It improved a lot for me, notably when Isaac showed signs of emotion like when he rebelled against the other kaylon to save ty's life, and when they wanted to get married. I LOVED the scene where Isaac experienced emotions for the first time. I was so excited to see more of it, and to see him acting that way outside of the simulator room. But that never happened. I was expecting him to get his emotions back for the wedding definitely, but that never happened. How do you guys feel about this?

​

I've never liked the way this show handles dark topics. They're talking to victims of genocide and torture in a joking way, as if it isn't something that serious. I don't like how one episode it's ''the krill murdered my wife and my child and tortured me in a death camp for a decade'' and the next scene they're making a joke, or they're talking about the krill. I'm not sure if I want peace between the union and the krill, not only because I believe they need to redeem themselves first, but also because I think the show would get boring without that rivalry. I don't want them to go the route of making everyone friends, only for a new stronger enemy to show up again.

Another thing I was fully expecting from the finale was for ed to meet his child again. This is another example of the show not taking serious topics seriously. It's like he doesn't even care about his daughter.

​

I've seen people say that they want there to be a timeskip between seasons 3 and 4. I think that would be horrible. What do you guys think? I definitely want the politics/war/drama to continue, for Isaac to regain his emotions and I love the complex ''relationship'' between ed and Telaya. I hope to see more of it, and I hope that they don't suddenly go ''krill and union are all friends now'' and make ed and telaya marry or something. I do want him to see his daughter again, and I wonder how they will manage to be good parents to their daughter, while being leaders of two warring factions.

Has there been an explanation why there are no augmented humans or cyborgs etc? What's your head canon for this?

I know Trek has its war against the post humans as a backstory but the Orville doesn't seem to have a reason why there aren't any cyborgs 300 years in the future.

and I'm a doctor so I'll always wear this

Admiral Thomas Halsey and admiral William "Bull" Halsey.

I love him so much. The quality is so nice too. The book is heavy and have such nice covers, and the poster isn't picture in full because its absolutely massive. Once I put it up on my wall I'll show y'all.

Who is your favourite Admiral on the Orville?

Trying to imagine how Claire’s descendants are going to be with Isaac. Like do you think he has a schedule and spends a certain amount of time with each piece of the family?

Idk. I just had this image of a surly teenager whose robot companion insisted on taking them to school every day until they graduated (all because when they were little and tried to go alone for the first time they had a small accident, so naturally Isaac feels that unless he must save the galaxy this is his first priority). Maybe Isaac follows behind the school bus, or drives them himself, or maybe the walk is short and he always walks on the road-facing side of the pavement. Issac would always be checking ahead for danger whilst trying to maintain some level of communication with the growing human that was never far from his sight. A grumpy, slightly taller everyday human, that still showed signs of the small child that gripped his hand tightly and lovingly whenever they were by his side (even if some days they chose to communicate more with grunts and scowls than they did words).

A kid who would probably want to fit in at their new school, and would explain when asked about their Kaylon companion (much to the chagrin of their parents at the next PTA meeting, who would never let their child live this down);

“Ugh my great great great grandma banged a robot on a spaceship or whatever, and now I’m stuck with him”

SBS still has all 3 seasons, but every episode is labeled as expiring "in 1 month." If you hover your mouse pointer over that label, a pop-up will show the November 30th date and time of expected expiration.

(I'm not in Australia, so I don't know much about the show's availability there. I hope it will remain available to Australians via Disney+?)

(Thanks to u/VS2ute who tried to post about this before I did.)

Tl;dr can someone with more literary expertise or something explain how he isn’t just purely lazy and terrible writing

Besides him, I love it. I've been home with my sick doggo the last couple of days and have ripped through nearly the whole series. Clearly I enjoy it. However, having a character as one dimensional as Klyden is down right terrible writing. He has absolutely no depth or redeemable qualities. I feel like even the giant porn monster in engineering is more interesting. It wouldn't bother me if Klyden wasn't so prominent in so many episodes, but this piece of shit keeps popping his dumb ass head up and ruining otherwise good episodes. He is a heel, yes I get it, but he's not in a position to be a heel. He's married to a character you're supposed to like. If Bortus can love such an absolute slimeball villain then Bortus becomes less likeable by association, you see what I'm saying? He needs an episode where he saves everyone or something... or "divorced."

Edit: I guess this is just a rant. I'll finish season three, but still, three seasons is a long time to keep a character despicable.

Edit two: I finished the series and stand by it. They could have saved a lot in the budget by just removing his speaking lines and the show would have been equally good.

I know not everyone would be interested in this, as fewer people are buying physical media these days, but I still like to buy physical media for movies & shows I really like, so I can watch them any time I want.

As far as I know, for physical media, this show has only been released on DVD. DVD is an old format though, and I like to have something with better quality. I think it would be great to see this show on blu-ray or even 4K blu-ray (I think it would look great). Would it be worthwhile to create a campaign for them to release the show on blu-ray or 4K blu-ray?

It's also frustrating to me that there are bootleg blu-rays that people are trying to sell, such as this one - and you can even tell in the listing due to a couple of mistakes (it says "blue ray" instead of blu-ray, and "zone free", whereas they normally would say "region free" Also, the video quality in a bootleg such as this most likely wouldn't be any better than a streaming version that someone has downloaded and burned onto blu-ray discs).

More confirmation that S4 is on the way. Production List included S4 in their production announcements today. The shoot date from the website is typically inaccurate but S4 must be showing up on production grids for them to include it now.

Timmis suggests degrading the chemical relay or whatever to make Isaac’s feelings permanent, and the scientist says that while she can do that, it would wipe his emotions and everyone got real emotional over the decision to potentially sacrifice memory for emotion.

What happened to backups? Can they not just save his data somewhere, do the wipe and then upload it again? I mean surely that couldn’t reverse the hardware changes that would be made by the scientist

There has been at least two examples in the Orville where a developing society has had to view phenomena through a religious lense. The forbidden area for the krill and the astrology culture of the Regorians.(I’m fairly certain the goddess Kelly could be included too) Both things that at the time of discovery could not be explained so the explained them as best they could and over him it became part of their zeitgeist.

Moclans are most likely hermaphrodits based on the fact that two males can breed and with also the harshness of their planet, it would make sense to be able to reproduce with whoever you can.

What if centuries/ millennia ago, a plague which disproportionately affected females swept the globe. Adult females died in droves. Females who survived birth were sickly, weak and considered diseased (disgusting creatures)

As we’ve all witnessed in human history, plagues don’t last forever and historically will burn themselves out after away (the flu jab people get every year is for the Spanish flu. Yes it’s still around just a shadow of its former sense)

Eventually females are being born and surviving more and more but the Moclans culture has based itself so heavily around their male society and that females are lesser than, that by this point there is no going back?

Annie was an absolutely awful choice of performing arts to show the Krill Delegation. Truly, a fumble of monumental proportions.

When dealing with a foreign civilization like the Krill, diplomacy through art should seek to establish some form of commonality between two disparate peoples. The Union should have invited the Krill to view not a musical but an Opera that contained themes familiar to the Krill, such as religion, strife and war.

I think an ideal choice would have been Richard Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung", however, since that opera takes a whole 15 hours to complete, it may not have been ideal purely on run-time.

What do you think would have been a better choice?
