Proof that Orville is a Trek show!

I found this clip that shows that Captain Mercer, in a alternate timeline of course, served in Starfleet because that universe has a starfleet unlike the one "Orville" seems to have.

Not sure why I can't make the link. Basically it's under Seth McFarlande fan film

And he's a time-traveler - served aboard Archer's Enterprise:

Connecting past appearances of McFarlane to The Orville, it might be a nice wink to the audience to establish A Million Ways To Die In The West as a holo-game of Mercer's.
 
He could be he a changling. One of the 100 sent out. In the Trek verse he landed in the old west and was adopted by a unloving family which is why even if he is in the old west he doesn't feel like someone from the old west. In the Orville verse he landed on earth in the 80's and took the form of a talking teddy bear. Eventually he became more and more humans over time and choose to live his life as a human being.

You left out all those years lying low as an erudite but characteristically horny suburban dog.
 
No don't put The Orville in the same reality as Trek put it in the Lost in Space universe. Back in the 60's Trek and LIS were on competing network,

Not only that but he was also Peter. Mated with a human woman in Lois which is why he had two sons that came out kind of wrong. One is someone who seems to have a learning disability and a intense masturbation issue. The other had a little shape-changing powers as well but not enough so it resulted in a football looking head but also a advanced mind for that of a toddler. Meg has some kind of head issue going on underneath her hat. Brian could also be another child and not him. Quagmire could have been his son from before he took on the Peter role. Also both Quagmire and Brian have the hots for Lois which could be a alien DNA thing that he passed onto them since he himself likes Lois.

Hey guys I made a joke a few posts ago about the Orville being in the Lost In Space Universe.

Try This. Google up "Lost in Space Movie" look at the poster/boxcover. Smooth it out add some rings do ya see it?
 
I remember that movie. I liked it at the time. The CG has not held up, and was problematic then (the Blawp doesn't work).

I know this is all in fun, but I don't want Orville in the Trek universe. That would inhibit them. This way, they use what they like and dump the rest.

Thing is that the universe's even if they were all part of the same franchise have gone down such different paths that you could in theory still do anything you want. For example I am guessing many of the aliens might not have even evolved in each others universe. I'n fact if you went to more and more mirror universe you might even get stranger ones than what we have ever seen. Places were even the laws of nature act differently or there is no life at all in it.

Yeah, but I'm tired of Star Trek.

Not so sure that I'm tired of Star Trek. I think it is more that I am tired of the Prime universe and the dynamics that never change. I had a lot of fun with the Abrams films, and The Orville, which is about as close to Trek as they can get without putting arrowhead badges on the uniforms.

I guess I just wanted Discovery to be more creative and fun than what CBS choose to give us. It just feels like a corporate product, designed by committee.

Dark, edgy, curse-words and nudity? You mean that's not what people want? *gasp* Yeah, I agree. Feels too much paint-by-numbers, or more precisely, paint-by-trends. Feels like too much grasping at straws in order to try staying relevant. I find I can't just sit down to relax with it anymore, which is exactly why The Orville fits the bill so much. It pushes the right buttons without it being overly serious or tense.
