Kelly's "My god, we're burning up!" was the worst part of the entire episode. So weird. Glad it was only a second long. The porn alien looked like it was both practical and CG, with the tentacle always being CG, the head being practical when it wasn't talking but CG when it was, and the body just being practical. I'm looking forward to some behind the scenes on that one. That being said, that thing, the way it talked and moved and looked, shot some Fifth Element vibes at me like crazy. I hope they do more stuff like that! It's comical that all the makeup budget went into the porn peddler and the other Mochlans which meant the 75 people on the lone planet in the middle of nowhere were all just humans. It's goofy how varietal this show gets with its aliens aboard the ship but once they go elsewhere it's humans! I mean, I'm fine with it and it probably won't be a consistent trend (you gotta have that empathy for the last 45 who died) so whatever. WTF was with the firework brandy? So randomly out of place... Ed being told they have another problem and his response being "Oh neat. What is it?" had me laughing longer than I'd like to admit. God I'm so glad this show is getting a second season and I really hope it gets as many as MacFarlane wants to make. He wasn't kidding when he said the second season would be more dramatic and less comedic. They didn't even have the obvious joke scene where, after Klyden leaves the holodeck in rage, other crew pass the open door and look in with a "oh poo poo what did I just see" expression on their face. That said, I'm craving more Isaac jokes. S1 nailed the Isaac jokes. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Jan 4, 2019 |

Was really hoping for a caretaker character to knock on the door of the Holodeck and go "Hello? Uhh, hi, I'm hear to clean up the loads."

I did think it was a bit convenient to have Klyden walk in on Bortus like that. You know if ANYTHING on that ship has a locking door, it would be the holodeck.

I thought Bortus punching things in to the console next to the door was him applying a door lock. You saw a light go from green to red. Then he used voice commands to start the simulation. Except he had to open the panel to insert the virus porn program so he prob forgot to lock the door.

Great episode love the porn alien. But we have 2 shuttles why only modify one, I’m sure there plenty of off duty engineering staff to make up the extra workload, also there was space for more then 30 people. Cram them full like a Tokyo subway. Like 20 were tiny kids and young adults and They all had environment suits so neither a weight limit nor life support should have mattered. I understand needed drama and all that just seems like poor planning on the Orville’s part.

And just a couple days after the premiere, too! Okay, I did not need that many scenes of Moclan porn. The first one? Okay. The second one? I guess so, just to show that it keeps happening. By the time Bortus shows up in the doctor's office, they coulda just shown him entering the holodeck and saying "Begin program" and ended the scene there. It was not as funny on each repetition, and started to feel a bit creepy. I didn't want to know that the weird, big-headed alien had a bondage fetish! Still a really fun episode, though!

AlBorlantern Corps posted:A weight limit in the gravity well of an expanding star might indeed matter That whole thing was bad science. Stars get bigger before they blow up because the outward pressure of the fusion increases as they switch from hydrogen to helium and other heavier elements (until they hit iron, then you actually lose energy via fusion), but the mass of the star itself does not increase. The threat of a star at that stage is just increased radiation, as far as orbital dynamics are concerned it would be identical to navigating with a main stage star 1 AU away or whatever.

They've all seen star trek enough times to model their society on it. They know how often people get trapped in malfunctioning holodecks. No locks is a safety precaution.

Episode was great, music was great (and TOS-movie as hell), costume/character design was great, and then holy poo poo was Kelly's actress phoning it in. How many takes did they do before deciding to go with those? Not just the "we're burning up", I remember thinking at least once before that that she totally whiffed delivery. MacFarlane may have a fairly limited range but he's never been that bad. And what the hell was with Ed's "He's just a glorified speak-and-spell"? That seemed completely out of left field.

I think the dark matter cartographer is definitely the krill lady, despite that being so oddly a Discovery rip off. Mainly because of how fast she wants to familiarize herself with the navigation systems on the bridge, and that after rewatching she showed up and asks Ed if she can get a drink with him immediately after he said "I sure could use a Krill invasion right about now"

This is the second episode in a row where someone barges into the simulator, and during a porn simulation of all things. I wanna know what the official policy is on locking the door. Also it wasn't gay porn, if it was male/female it would have been gay porn in his culture.

Maybe they've all watched Star Trek and saw how many episodes there were of the holodeck suddenly freaking out and trying to kill someone, with the rest of the crew struggling to get them out safely.
