Featured review
This show remembers what Star Trek forgot
Some of the visuals in this episode were absolutely stunning - notably the depiction of a two dimensional universe.
It took this show a while to really find it's footing and it's on its way to being truly great. Certainly there are many aspects of the show that are taken directly from the original Star Trek and it's later series (except for the transporters, which I'm glad they left out).
The Orville has one big bonus that the Star Trek universe forgot: Human history and its cultural past. Sure, Star Trek occasionally made references to the past as a plot point here and there, but the Orville lives in OUR future. Besides, Star Trek made up a lot of "history" by mentioning things that happen between our time and theirs.
Beginning with the Kermit the Frog doll on the captain's desk, we are constantly reminded that our present is truly their past. This episode alone referenced "Doctor Who" and the novel "Flatland. In past episodes we've seen references to "Friends", "Real Housewives", "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "The Sound of Music", "Seinfeld" and other media touchstones that you would hope the future won't forget.
