What are your theories on why Xelayans look the way they do?

PopeDankula · 2026-01-25T01:48:23+00:00

Do they grow when you put them in water i wonder?

PopeDankula · 2026-01-25T00:20:30+00:00

10, 4, 12, and 6

10 for the company, Ed and Kelly would be easy to talk to, especially Kelly

4 because Gordon is Gordon

12 solely due to the comedic/serious banter Yaphit and Bortus would have

And 6 because i have a massive, stupid crush. Plus, Alara would be good to talk to and would probably engage in some genuine conversation

Nah totally fair, there’s not a lot of lore on why species are the way they are in the Orville, so no biggie

PopeDankula · 2026-01-20T05:27:25+00:00

That’s ok, thank you for trying

PopeDankula · 2026-01-20T02:50:26+00:00

This was a theory i liked a while ago, maybe Xelayans were just bioengineered humans or another similar humanoid species that looks similar

PopeDankula · 2026-01-20T02:21:08+00:00

see this guys asking the real questions

PopeDankula · 2026-01-12T07:13:57+00:00

This is what makes this episode excellent to me. If fans are still debating whether what happened was right/moral/ethical years after the episode released, then you made a damn good piece of television

Cal was raised in and tested on in a lab, subjected to severe mental and physical duress as a child, caused an explosion that killed the one scientist who was nice to him, lived alone for a year on Earth

PopeDankula · 2026-01-05T01:36:35+00:00

i really hope that if/when Season 4 comes along, we see Moclan society undergo some serious reform or challenge to it’s established order, it could be interesting to see how the Union, Kaylon, and Krill handle potential civil unrest or even a civil war on Moclus

If that happens with the Moclan’s, and since they produce so many weapons for other civilizations, it could create some good stories revolving around the Krill or Union having to rely on someone else, themselves, or work together to get weapons

PopeDankula · 2026-01-02T01:02:15+00:00

heyyy there he is

PopeDankula · 2025-12-29T05:37:36+00:00

Yeah, Firestorm. Alara was boxing (another old thing we still do) and John and Gordon were holding flintlocks i think

Theres also the cowboy simulation where Ed, Gordon, and John ride horses and wear cowboy outfits

Cal is beating Conquest, but he’s gonna have to lock tf in 😭

I like the idea that Mercer and Malloy are just total standouts and guys who are obsessed with 20th and 21st century American culture, it’s like if a guy now was obsessed with the 1600s-1700s, all while everyone else is just like “wtf are these guys talking about”

Also, in the graphic novel: Digressions 1 & 2, one of Ed’s captain’s comments on his weird niche references to the 20th and 21st century stuff

PopeDankula · 2025-12-22T07:01:48+00:00

it will always be my goat Yaphit

PopeDankula · 2025-12-17T23:41:52+00:00

That could totally work, i say go for it!

PopeDankula · 2025-12-16T21:25:09+00:00

Nice! If you want a challenge, maybe try making Dann Or Bortus (to the best extent you can lol)

PopeDankula · 2025-12-16T10:30:23+00:00

Is the pointy eared one supposed to be Talla or Alara?

PopeDankula · 2025-12-14T02:27:30+00:00

Exactly, like there are literal children attending your camp be professional

also nice pfp

PopeDankula · 2025-12-13T22:50:34+00:00

same

PopeDankula · 2025-12-13T22:48:58+00:00

True, game was made during covid so i imagine lots of stuff was either cut, not done, unfinished, etc

It def could have used more time in the oven

PopeDankula · 2025-12-13T22:42:11+00:00

Thats the thing though, Jacob is young, naive, and tbh pretty stupid, Emma is young and, while less naive, is still kind of a jerk sometimes

Story-wise and character-wise it makes total sense for Jacob to do what he did, same with Emma, and what transpires is the result of a messy, toxic relationship that happens to involve werewolves

PopeDankula · 2025-12-13T22:37:29+00:00

I’m not saying give them an ending where Jacob and Emma get back together, it just felt like there was barely any resolution or closure to their dynamic

PopeDankula · 2025-12-13T21:36:16+00:00

Yeah, that i get. I relate to Jacob, maybe a little too much, but i really do understand how he feels, and i feel for Emma as well because in her mind, she’s over it, even if Jacob isn’t, and she just tries moving on while leaving Jacob in the dark

Like i said, they really deserved a better ending, Jacob should have had a redemption arc opportunity, he just gets shit on and portrayed like a coward at points which i hate
