I thought this was good, even as a pilot. Given some time for the cast to gel this could be really good. McFarlanes love for Star Trek really shows.

Sisko once used biological weapons just to prove a point...

Between this and assasinating a Romulan senator, Sisko is objectively the best captain. With the best starship.

I really like how they made Skyler have the big rear end zit on her forehead throughout the episode.

Not only is she an Ex, she also has poor hygiene!

McFarlane is a class act all the way.

This is a remarkably stupid post, Jesus.

They’re going to planet Canada.

Unrelated but The Last Ship owns. It’s the standard TNG formula just on a naval ship and they’ve had as many as 4 captains onboard at one time.

yes, i found the uselessness of upvotes to be odd; would you be arrested at 1 million downvotes if you had 50 million upvotes? how does a famous musician survive a bad album, or an actor a bad movie? an upvote-downvote balance system could have been a lot more interesting, maybe

on a somewhat related note, i wonder how close alara was to being arrested

Like she couldn’t just rip off handcuffs and punch a hole in anyone trying to arrest her.

The only good thing about Generations is it led to that book where Kirk beats up every TNG character (including Worf in a Bat'leth fight) and then takes an all black Defiant class ship, renames it Enterprise, to then press the "All Borg Die" button on the Borg homeworld.

"Can we have soda on the bridge?" is the line that cracks me up the most.

Favorite gag? Fire suppression panel.

Overall Bortus is the funniest though.

Fire suppression panel was good, but soy sauce damage report just slayed me

I thought it was refreshingly subversive to start out an episode as basically Amok Time and then nope, actually they're barely even going to explore Bortus's biological need, and instead show us some very relatable, true-to-life things that happen to be going on during the trip to Moclus.

I had forgotten about John being a closet genius. Have they really done anything with that yet other than make him the engineer?

I think they can take some time before the episode about LaMarr being a creepy weirdo who makes holodeck doubles of real people so that he can pretend to experience the sexual event.

When the door to the Orville bridge opened I was really hoping it would be Dann swinging around in the captain's chair all 'hi ya'll'. Maybe Bortus could have come in swinging from the side.

I wonder if they thought about swapping Talla and Alara's roles for the episode, but it wouldn't have been fair on the former as new core cast.

e: was the system they were originally going to hide in the hi tech zookeepers?

I was hoping it was going to be a re-creation of the original Bortus smoking in the Captain's chair.

sure okay posted:

I remember exactly 2 things about this show: The captain and XO being completely hungover after a night of binge drinking while the rest of the crew admires a giant sunrise in all their faces. Classic.

And second, the Jaloja (sp?) where Bortus yell-chants into the air while he pisses, much to the satisfaction of everyone watching.

Show owns I can't wait.
