Clicked on one of those astroturfed youtube vids of a battle involving the Kaylon or whatever and I kept getting bombarded with 'The Orville' Youtube shorts in the days since. One of them was about that Abortus guy and his husband fighting over their kid's gender.
I never got passed episode three or four of the first season, so I had no idea. These are such thinly veiled Hollywoke talking points and specific political pet peeves. You must be absolutely blind to not see what was going on. Charlize 'My Sons Are Girls Now' Theron was also on the show.
And this microwaved slop was supposed to be the acceptable normie alternative to Star Trek Disco/STD?
Some of the species are conceptually quite funny and interesting to consider. The Moclan only urinating once every 3 years or something and so making it a special ritual conducted on their homeworld with close friends and family for example. It takes biological extremes even found on our own planet and then draws them out to sort of parody levels but still within some realm of sci-fi make believe. There is some kind of deer that only urinates once every month or something, smells God-awful when it does unsurprisingly, but it does so because water is that rare where it lives it needs that conservation of hydration, so it's not as if the Moclan concept is without some basis.
