I'll be very surprised if Patrick Stewart isn't involved with this season in any way. Probably an uncredited cameo like Liam Neeson had a few weeks ago.
THE ORVILLE: S1, E7: "MAJORITY RULE"
- Thread starter Mudd
- Start date
So glad Orville is coming back. This might be the show I am most excited about each week.
There's a short clip you can unlock on The Orville's Twitter account.

"With all the planets in the Galaxy you're bound to have some cases of parallel species development."
So yeah, that's where they're going with this one.

Damn it - you know the badges that everyone on Sargus Four wear with the "elevator buttons" on it - the red and green triangles pointing up and down?
I'll bet they're the gadgets that let everyone vote on the fate of someone else - everyone wears one and just "likes" or "dislikes" the person being judged!

So instead of copying Star Trek, they decided to copy Community this episode. MEOW MEOW BEANZ IN SPACE!
This is the best episode yet. And true to the spirit of trek, commentating on our own culture's obsession with social media, Facebook etc.
Yes.
There is a good degree of social commentary here, how a misdeed or error in judgment can stigmatize someone's life through social media.
Very interesting so far, humor this time working much better as well as the few anachronistic references. And.. I just love Alara!

I liked the episode. Made their satire more relevant than expected. This show may work best when it's going for straight up satire.
While as I said I had a hard time watching the beginning portion of the episode because of how uncomfortable it made me, that was probably the best episode of The Orville yet. It used the classic "Trek" format (in this case leaning heavily towards TOS with the whole "parallel Earth" concept) as a contemporary morality tale. I especially loved the little aside near the end when the native girl said nobody ever bothered to check out the veracity of videos and information in the feed. It was actually the funniest joke in the entire show, and it wasn't even set up as a joke!
I went to the fair that week so its wasn't that much of a problem.
Also Oh, look a cloaking device is incredibly for sneaking around primitive planets. Take that Starfleet's wierdass morality on this issue.
They hacked the vote.
This show gets better every week.

They indirectly hacked the vote, by putting new material into the feed. I'm talking just going in and boom! changing the numbers directly. No muss, no fuss, no Sargus Four's Greatest Home Videos.
