i kinda feel like Orville pays homage (steals) from older trek episodes and kinda chops them together
planet appearing out of nowhere was from DS9 (meridian), the god worship thing reminded me a lot of the TNG ep 'who watches the watchers'
planet out of time and observing its super fast evolution was VOY 'blink of an eye'
leaving isaac behind was p much the only plot point that vaguely surprised me and even that seemed kinda predictable once kelly started talking about doing it (and they did the same thing with the doctor in 'blink of an eye')
my fav ep so far is probably 'if the stars should appear' with the massive bio-ship and even that was pretty much totally ripped off from TOS "for the world is hollow and i have touched the sky"
but even with those kinda generic sci fi tropes it's entertaining tho
i guess the tropes kinda make the show feel 'trekky' which is why i enjoy it
