News Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
That thought did cross my mind for a second or two.
After they didn't go the expected route of "entire colony of females" or "half the population is female in hiding" I was totally expecting that as the twist.... a life time secluded in a cave alone? Was definitely expecting a comedic backfiring of sorts, and I was half expecting the same....
On such an overly developed and industrialized planet, where did she find her secluded cave, anyway?
I found Ed and Kelly hugging at the end disturbingly selfish, as if somehow this was their struggle.

Maybe that helps to sell the Rudolph Epiphany as that could be used to rationalize that Bortus was filtering the story through his own culture and nature and thus may be more emotionally affected. That, and the beers.
Of course, IMO Rudolph is a great tale on its own and doesn't need any extra explanation.
You missed the point. I already said in this thread that this was very much like watching a TNG that I had somehow missed. My point with Rudolf is that the humor and drama didn't mix together well in this case. The humor interfered with the drama. Agreed that this would've worked as a typical TNG episode.
Woot! We agree on something!
I think this episode did what good sci-fi does and it gets people talking about issue's. It doesn't have to provide answers only questions. It also offers insight on a new alien culture that I think we will be seeing again and new insight on one of your series regulars. I for one hopes the show does more of this and doesn't just settle on being a comedy. PLus we kind of forget that TNG and most of Trek was kind of able to tell different type of stories. Next week might be a horror episode and the following week a mystery story. I've head Macfarlane talk about how he liked that about TNG in that they could tell any kind of stories they wanted which is also something you see on "Family Guy." Sometimes they do sci-fi and then they do one with Peter and his friends and then you got one about the family and so forth.

"I have laid an egg".
That's "Heveena" 25 years ago.
She has some strong opinions about eggs.
HA!
In Star Wars Attack of the clones, playing one of those giraffe necked Kaminos, Rena cloned the dude beating her in that clip above, and sold millions of him into slavery to the Old Republic to be murdered by battle droids.
Did you really have to post that?
Probably not, but it's her seminal contribution.
It's why she is famous down here.

I had the same question while watching the show.
I would think she had plenty of the to look. There was bound to be some caves on he planet.
It's fucking disturbing to me on a PG board. Not Orville funny. Shivers.
But it's funny when Alara punches Bortus across a room and through a wall?
Backstory matters. Come on. Yours is a real-life beat the shit out of a female, the other is a Seth Farlane TNG wank.
CONTEXT.
Edit: And ignore me. Not my problem.
I took the clip down an hour ago.
If you're interested in context, here's an actual trailer.
