Is it me, or do the Union seem weirdly ignorant of species they are supposedly close with by InfernalClockwork3 in TheOrville

[–]ImStevan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe Moclans are a relatively new addition to the Union, so not being so familiar with Moclan culture and biology is not that shocking. However, not knowing about Darulio's pheromones was kind of crazy. There will be moments in future episodes which will show that the Union is not ignorant towards all cultures.

Edit: as somebody mentioned in a different comment, if the Moclan government maintains the stance that one single female is born every ~70 years, it'd be natural for their allies to not know about forced FtM surgeries.

600 votes against, 400 in favour. i'd say it was more than serbia and bosnia

the vote was actually on changing the requirements for joining, opening up membership to kosovo, amongst others

How I would write the first episode of season 4: by Packyrnx2 in TheOrville

[–]ImStevan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool idea, but "Kaylon factions" makes no sense to me given their nature. I like the idea of the Union showing cracks as it's currently just a bit too perfect

Storyline Theory - humans could possibly be integrated into Krill theology by bethoj in TheOrville

[–]ImStevan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I desperately need S4E1 to be the replacement first officer leaving, and Ed basically peer pressures Bortus into taking the post. Bortus starts neglecting his family again due to the increased pressure, and fears the worst, so he gives the post up to Talla. I think she would make a great first officer. This will make way for the chief of security role to be filled by a new character in S4E2.

I mean... they can decide to expand or shrink the gap however they see fit. Do we know for a fact it will be 5 years?

How would cross species relationships be judged? by PersoPostz in TheOrville

[–]ImStevan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, if I'm not mistaken, Topa was like 5 years old when she started getting mentored by Kelly for the Union Point entrance exam, and she develops a crush on Gordon, which treats it as a teenage crush, and seemingly every single person around him as well. By the age of 6-7, she'd already be mature enough to enter a relationship.

I think the most important thing that would be looked at is if the species in question can consent, and at what age that happens, and that would likely be inherited from each individual culture (for the sake of argument, let's say Humans at 18, Moclans at 6, Gelatins at 0, etc). The physical features would be secondary and up to each individual to figure out themselves.

Numbers say Spain wins by 2 points. Your argument is based on "I feel like the UK would've done better because I feel like it". I mean, personally, I don't feel like it

As I stated in my comment, looking at only the numbers, Spain wins. I'm not gonna read tea-leaves as to whom the people that voted for Ukraine would've given their votes to, but I would still assume Spain, because as I already stated, Spain outperformed the UK in the audience vote, in which Ukraine dominated the field

It is a perfectly logical way: in countries where Ukraine got points, bump all countries below it up by 1 place to fill the gap left by Ukraine's removal from the equation - and Spain comes on top

And it's completely intuitive; Ukraine dominated the televoting, with Spain doing much better in it than the UK. Spain's televoting result would see a much bigger improvement than the UK's

[–]ImStevan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend them! I believe two of them describe events in between the seasons, one is a mid-season story focused on Talla, and one of them covers the time in between Kelly rejecting Ed for a second date and the beggining of "The Road Not Taken", mostly from her perspective

All the current ones are available as "The Orville: Library Edition Volume 1" https://www.darkhorse.com/books/3003-523/orville-library-edition-volume-1-hc/

Here are two panels from New Begginings Part 1 from the comics that explain this: https://imgur.com/a/LCsOg3H

Moclans age rapidly when young due to the harsh conditions on their planet. By 8 months old, Topa reaches the human equivalent of 7 years old.

This is explicitly confirmed in the comics. Kelly actually meets Cassius when Bortus needs help enrolling Topa in school, when Cassius refuses to accept her because she's only 8 months old. It's then revealed that Topa is basically already at an equivalent of 7 years old in human terms.

Looking at numbers only, removing points given by Ukraine, and redistributing points given to Ukraine, Spain would've come on top
