Cojawfee posted:If anyone is bored, I found a new thing for us to talk about. I think Egg Temperature is actually a pretty handy measurement. Would the rest of the egg system be like metric, where we work in KiloEggs? Or more like Imperial, where everything is bundled in larger units based on other things(dozens? DozEggs, GrossEggs, etc?) Would 1 Egg-foot (DozEgg?) = 24 inches, or two imperial feet?

The egg is really a marvel of evolution. Did you know that while we all think of egg shells as brittle things that are prone to breakage, it is in fact impossible to crush an egg with the strength of just one hand when your hand is extended directly over your head? Because of the shape, putting an egg in your hand and then lifting your hand so that the egg is right over your head makes it impossible to crush a raw egg. Seriously. Set up a camera and film yourself trying it.

The Orville: Continuing TNG's legacy of getting rid of the chief engineer and promoting a black guy from the con to chief engineer out of no where before the second season. Now we just need Alara to die and Bortus to be promoted to Chief of security and the cycle will be complete.

"Argyle" is such an on-the-nose name for a follow-up to Scotty that it feels like something a parody would do. Like Futurama if they didn't already destroy him with "Welshy"

It would be great if they introduced a character by opening a door to a closet-sized space with a single terminal inside, where the character performs one highly-specific task--then swish, the doors shut. That's the extent of their screen presence for at least a couple seasons.

Al Borland Corp. posted:It would be amazing to Rickroll someone on the holodeck. You could get creative with it. Like... OK, you convince someone to try this new program. It's a fun-sounding but otherwise unremarkable subtext--maybe they're going to play the part of an Old West saloon owner where some serious crap goes down, or they're dueling Hamlet with a poisoned sword... you know, something that requires a costume. The program starts and progresses as you'd expect for a while. Then the drum beat starts, but it's behind the victim. It repeats until the person turns around, and as they do, the holodeck replaces the current backdrop with a generic one from the video--following his eyes as he turns around this way and that, so that as soon as he looks away, it's shifted. Once the person has turned around all the way and the whole scene is changed, there's Rick Astley, dancing that silly dance, but making constant, non-blinking eye contact with the victim. Then he starts singing directly at the person. And it doesn't stop. The verses and choruses just loop over and over and over again until the person makes his way out of the holodeck. But he hasn't left the holodeck. That's also a trick. He changes out of his outfit and tries to find the person who set him up. But he starts to notice something odd about everybody on the ship. They all spin around when the drums start up, and when they stop their flourish, they're Rick Astleys, singing. And then, it starts to get crazy.

Since they are already renewed it's like the network gets a "free" extra episode in season 2.

The fan theory is there's a cliffhanger ending and Seth planned it this way. If they only had one season, they'd get to resolve it but if they were renewed it could be used for the end of season.

Fox is pre-empting the Thursday night Timeslot every single day from now through new years, so they're just going to delay the episode to next season rather than come back in January with a single episode and then nothing.

Being the Transporter Chief on TNG must suck. There's probably long stretches where you're standing around doing nothing, then when it does come time for you to do your job, there's a 90% chance someone's going to die if you screw up
