THE ORVILLE Season Two...
- Thread starter Mudd
- Start date
The problem with both premises in Star Trek is that it is a well that has run dry. However, in Orville's case, the style of the series is to take used Trek Tropes and revisit them in new and interesting ways with a wink to the audience that that is what they are doing--and it works very well for this series.
Locarno: When you're doing a story like that, you have to do it well.
Seven of Nine: Can't do that.
Locarno: Why not?
Seven of Nine: Temporal Prime Directive.
the character played by Robert Ducan McNeil in the First Duty.
Was supposedly going to carry across to voyager but there was some sort of rights issue so we got Tom Paris instead.
I look forward to seeing what kind of craziness The Orville gives us in their inevitable alternate universe/timeline episode.
I want to see them travel ten years into the past and find a world with hyper-advanced technology far beyond the present and weird dark fashions and aesthetics that nobody remembers. 
I think time travel and alternate universe stories are great in moderation, but stop working if it's what you constantly go to.
Not me. I can't get enough of those.
Agreed. Few things hold my interest less than constant time travel. Sorry Doctor Who.
(This actually belongs into the season 1 thread but I won't dare to ressurect that)
Can't believe it took me until now to make this connection - surely that can't be a coincidence? The spider's even on the same cheek! That's Gordon Malloy in "The Orville" and William Shatner in the kult movie "Kingdom of the Spiders".
Did we discuss this back then? I don't remember.

It is weird. I guess they wanted to save it for next season.?
Hope they get renewed for season 3
What I did find odd was during the scene with Isaac and John working together this week, Isaac was still going on with his old "my superior intelligence" routine. While I get that it may be hard for him to break the habit, his superior intelligence should be telling him that now he has to worry about his shipmates' opinion of him, and it's not a good idea to keep rubbing his higher IQ in their faces.
