I've only seen the first four episodes because my Disney+ membership ran out, but I feel that this season they've finally managed to capture the sheer tedium of watching Star Trek: The Next Generation.

No. I rarely bail on a show. After all, I made it through 7 seasons of Next Generation.I guess you will pass on any opportunity to finish the season.
Agree on both points. The space battles on this show are silly. Also why do they always all warp in at one place? Think three dimensionally.Surely with the cloak they could have landed and snuck into the base without all those hundreds of ships having a space battle. Also I really hate the fact that because they are doing the ships with CGI that there have to be so many of them next to each other.
I've always wondered about funerals on shows like these.
Obviously, we get a big production when a named character dies. But do the shows have similarly elaborate, full crew attendance gatherings for all the pilots/soldiers/support crew who are killed during the battle?
And in rescue scenarios (not this particular episode) often 20-30 people die during the rescue of one named character.

Also, weren’t the plans for the weapon saved anywhere else so it could be duplicated?
Anyway, The Orville makes me miss there being new Star Trek to watch. But, then I realize, I'm only missing the familiar symbols and terminology. I'm getting new Star Trek in a different package.
It's really too bad that the Mochlans are inserted into this series whenever possible. They really spoil things for me. Is there anyone watching this series saying to themselves "I hope there are Mochlans in this episode, I find them hilarious"?!
I think we know all we need to know about Moclan culture by now.
After "From Unknown Graves", did they ever dive deeper into the Kaylons that are being sold as domestic help gaining sentience? I am trying to determine if I missed an episode or perhaps dosed off during a further explanation.I am really enjoying this season of The Orville.
A few general comments…I nominate J.Lee’s Lamar as the stiffest most wooden actor in the cast. And that’s saying something.
And, since the new seasons are airing at the same time, it looks like the Kaylons that are being sold as domestic servants are going to go all “Westworld” on the host families. Interested to see how that resolves.
Lastly, I had a LOL moment when the member of the negotiating party noticed that Mercer’s hands were soft and she wanted to “borrow him” for the night. Ed’s trying to get out of it, and Gordon yells “I’ll do it!”. In terms of humor, Gordon is probably my favorite character on the show, but as an actor, Mark Jackson as Isaac, in particular in human form, has really impressed me.
I was under impression that was their origin story. Robots that were being used as servants became sentient and rebelled against all organic kind (using their inbuilt defense systems) and became the Kaylon race.After "From Unknown Graves", did they ever dive deeper into the Kaylons that are being sold as domestic help gaining sentience?

Ah...that could make sense, although two demerits for Seth for screwing with the time line if so. I did not discern that those scenes were playing out at a different point in time than the rest of the episode.I was under impression that was their origin story.
