Orville latest episode

Orville just truly tipped over into full-on real Star Trek quality for me.

Grimes is fucking awesome. The actor himself is such a charismatic son-of-a-bitch it's unreal, and he's a genuinely talented actor. He really plays that like a legit ten year older version of the same character so it's striking when he reverts back to the younger one.

They could have ended that episode on the family photograph and I would have been happy to assume they went back, got the younger Malloy, and hit the reset button for the next episode. They could have easily set it up that way if they wanted.

Could have done without the lesbian crap even being mentioned, so there was zero 'muh CURRENT YEAR' shit for at least one episode. But it's character interaction and development at least - with a good logical reason for her and Isaac to be working together.

Good job with the time dilation shit, legit science crap that seemed well understood, but I thought the two-way trip was unnecessarily drawn out and undercut the drama a bit. Not too bad, but if you're in a starship what the big deal if you travel to a star twice as far away in one hit, then travel back with the field on as normal?

Great use of shit from previous episodes. Perfectly logical and believable. Cellphone, time device, holographic disguise, Isaac as human.

No future sandwich suddenly popping out of nowhere for the punchline/payoff? Sorbo DISAPPOINTED! Seems odd after they set it up, but maybe cut for seriousness of episode, or will literally 'pop up' in a future more comical episode.

Effects and visuals look great. Shows you what official Star Trek could have been, how there's still a demand for this kind of thing, and new directions you go, (also first time Orville felt truly original and not just a wholly derivative plot/theme).

Seth Mcfarlanes plugs look so much worse when he's in the "past".

When you see an episode like this week's that is just amazing it's hard to understand how complete shit like last week's episode was made by the same team.

stopped watching this midway through season 2 because waifu left and her dyke replacement is ugly and insufferable

Her replacement is a better actress. She desperately needs some backstory though. There's no reason to care about her because you don't know anything about her.

I didn't like how Gordon, in the end, was more stunned by how selfish his +10 year variant was than by the fact that he pursued a happy life.

I was disappointed by how it was just... brushed away. I'd personally be devastated if I found out that the future where I was content and happy was taken away by people who deemed that pursuit of happiness too selfish.

It was just so fucked up that they brought the security officer to his home and planned to kidnap him in front of his family. How they told him it would've been better if he executed himself. And no lingering repercussions left to strain their relationships.

I enjoyed everything except the last few minutes.

yea I'm not reading your book report but you're obviously gay for the ginger guy and you should tell your father

I’m about to watch this episode so I didn’t read your post OP, but thanks for reminding me. I love this show and Gordon is my favorite character.

it's one of those things where i hate the face. like chalemet

I think if that happened in reality, you'd have no concept of your future self and would actually judge them harshly.

Also if you take into account they almost fucked up the timeline before with Kelly's younger self and that had literal galactic consequences, there's no reason they shouldn't be taking the situation as seriously as they are - especially Ed, and even more so Kelly who would have some inkling of what that shit is like. Also remember how harsh each version of herself was on the other.
