"The Orville". A Seth McFarlane Space Adventure on Fox

Last couple of weeks there have been some serious "legally distinct but reallly close" nods to STII score. :)
 
They do seem to be the go to for sci fi shows. It always bothered me when Stargate SG1 switched from MP5's to P90's as I'm not really a fan of them.

Aside from the fact that the P90 is not in US service, either then or now, what was wrong with switching to the P90? After all, the 5.7mm round fired by the P90 is supposed to have excellent armor penetration, something that they're supposed to need against Jaffa. The only real downside to carrying the P90, aside from the bulky mags, is that they no longer share ammo with their pistol, but that's about it.

I thought they switched to the FN 5.7 too?

I've just never liked the P90 design and as you said it was never in US service. But that is just me.
 
I'm just getting it confused in general. I saw that they apparently kept the Beretta through all of SG1 and Atlantis. I've just seen the 5.7 show up enough (BSG and Agents of SHIELD) that my brain decided that stargate must have switched too.
 
Because Alara is making movies and is sleeping with the creator of Orville.

Actually, she's busy being a private investigator in Hawaii. She showed up as a guest star on Magnum PI. She left the show because she and Seth MacFarlane broke up back in the fall of '18. She was spotted with Charlie Puth as early as September.

Yeah... thanks.

Please note, I didn't ask "why" can't we have Alara back. I wasn't looking for someone's theory on why the actress left the show. Instead, my wording was rhetorical in nature.
 
The scene with Malloy and Lamarr sprinting to tell everyone about Isaac and Dr Finn’s date had me cracking up.

Then I lost it when Dr Finn wanted to flip the tables on Isaac. :D

Then that second simulation blew me away!!!
To see Mark Jackson, the actor who plays Isaac, without his costume on was really, really awesome to me!

Then Yaphit!!!
Just looking at Norm MacDonald makes me laugh!!!



That was a STUPENDOUS episode!!!!

Isaac is my favorite character on the show, so it was awesome to see another episode where he took center stage...and this one just killed it for me.

I think this is my favorite episode of the entire series so far!

I'm just enjoying so much the depth of development and insights into the individual characters that is happening with this show. "A Happy Refrain" was another great example - Claire's character is so strong and endearing and this episode took it yet further. I love the continuing thread of the depth of feeling that these characters have, some for each other. Neat show all around!

Another great episode. I loved seeing Bortus with the mustache.

I was just thinking how STD would handle this situation and figure we would probably get very graphic robot sex between Isaac and Claire.
