Data was one of my favourite characters in TNG. I thought they did a brilliant job with him.

That's why it's funny.
I also think there is something really subtle going on with the whole rear end of the ship, I just can't put my finger on it. Looks kinda like a toilet seat half up.

Someone who liked the Wright brothers. It's a nice touch that the captain has a model of the Wright Flyer on his desk.

I wonder if there is any significance for MacFarlane to the registry number.

Watched the latest episode last night. That was fantastic. The story, the acting, the effects...all top notch. Great cliffhanger too!

The visuals are getting better every episode they go with the no clutter clean look unlike Discovery which cranks up the lens dazzle and uses the Rick McCallum "it's so dense; every single frame has so many things going on" look.

I really have talked about how the visuals have gotten better and better, and in every episode there's at least one incredibly beautiful piece of visual art.
This episode had that as well, though the close up of the Orville flying through the Kaylon city did look pretty toy like.
What makes this show so much better for me then Star Trek right now is their use of simple but strong visual effects and the MUSIC is allowed to be heard.
Half the time I don't even know if Star Trek has background mood setting music because the show is so chaotically loud.

Some good moments tonight, but mostly a cliche-ridden episode that was quite disappointing.
I expected better after last week.
And what a waste of Tony Almeida.

I enjoyed the episode, though I have to say I had hoped that they would have drawn this out for a few episodes.

That was freaking AWESOME! The best line of the episode goes to Gordon:

I love that we can play the game 3 degrees of seperation from CalgaryPuck with Scott Grimes
Lets see
Scott Grimes is a Hollywood actor
Scott Grimes played "Birdie Burns" a hockey player in the movie Mystery,Alaska
CalgaryPuck member LAFlamesfan played Stevie Weeks a young up and coming superstar and premature ejaculatory in the movie Mystery, Alaska
LAFlamesfan is a long time member of CalgaryPuck

I kept thinking how TNG and DS9 had to wait years and years to show a full on space battle due to special effects and budgetary constraints. And when they did, it was quite limited in scope.
Shows how far we've come. That was far superior to any ST battles on TV and on par or superior to any of the battles from the film series' (not counting the new cast movies).
The resolution was somewhat predictable with Isaac turning good again but was handled well enough. The Krill part was rushed a bit but understandable.

To be fair I liked the fleet battles in DS9. And the large scale battle in BSG in the made for tv movie.
But this battle was great, and what I enjoyed the most. The external shots of the Orville after the battle where it looked beat to pieces.
The one nice touch was the bulkhead explosion where crew members were sucked into space.
I can't say I'm crazy about the Krill ship designs, but their fighter design and the union one man fighters were great designs.
We didn't see enough of the Union heavy cruisers in battle though, I was expecting to see one or two massive ships opening fire.

I really enjoyed tonight's episode and its about time that we had a Gorden centered episode.

Does anyone else notice that the later episodes in each season seem to be so much better than the earlier ones? Maybe one thing with TNG/DS9 is that because they made so many more episodes per season the actors could get into a groove with their characters more? Seth Macfarlane has improved as the straight man now he isn't just trying to copy Picard, but I do find his right eyelid somewhat distracting. It is very much not symmetrical with his left. And Talia is such an improvement over Alara, both the character and the actor.
Obviously Scott Grimes stole the whole show tonight. Simply outstanding, and Gordon is easily my favorite character.
