    Really early on, too. It was one of the things that made me go “oh wait this isn’t just fart jokes in space”.

    Though to be fair, the reality is that no matter how advanced we get there’s still gonna be fart jokes in space. That scene in the cafeteria where everyone’s getting Bortus to eat random things seems like a far more realistic vision of a space-faring post-scarcity future.

      The Orville is Star Trek if the federation actually had to recruit real people.

      This is exactly why I love lower decks, it’s so much closer to how we would probably act in the 24th century vs the heroized live action stuff lmao

      Yeah ‘if the stars should appear’ was the point all of us sat up and went “HELLO”
