(Sorry, not sorry for the old yet still valid meme)
I just wanted everyone here to know that [email protected] has been taken over relaunched by me and will become an active community again!
In the name of interplanetary peace, everyone here is invited to sub if you have not already done so and to start posting whatever news/discussion/memes related to The Orville you can think of.
I’m going to add .world’s c/startrek and c/tenforward to the links section of our community and I hope you guys do the same.
Happy Arbor Day! (No, seriously, the 25th of April is actually Arbor Day.)
Yeah, it follows a lot of the “futuristic parallels to modern day issues” that we saw with ToS and TNG, while at the same time adding in humor that ranges from tongue-in-cheek to outright raunchy. I can’t imagine a TNG episode that would address “holodeck sex addiction” but Orville actually manages to do a pretty good job of stradding seriousness of that issue along with humor.
For the more serious stuff: imagine an alliance when it’s discovered that one of the members has done (and is still doing) some stuff that’s pretty strongly against the morals of the rest. If called on it they threaten to pull out. While all are in the middle of a war for survival. And they’re also one of the biggest weapons suppliers
That’s pretty close to some issues today while also being years old.
