  Good points all. Blizzard never has prioritized communication.

  Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that “You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression.” No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “Aping” is kind of a pejorative way to describe what The Orville does. If they were “aping” TNG, they’d be imitating TNG in a very derivative manner. It’s more of an homage to TNG, but in a comedy format with original ideas and character dynamics.

  The Orville’s first season is no worse than TNGs. There were some truly awful first season episodes of TNG. Code of Honor is a good example of an awful episode.

  I don’t think better or worse comparisons are very meaningful. They’re both good shows. TNG has many of my favorite Trek stories and characters. I think it says a lot that it inspired so much of what The Orville does.

  Ah, my mistake.

  The lyrics are generally fitting to the theme of the show. The Rod Stewart performance didn’t work for me then, later or now.

  This article added quite a bit to the discussion. For one, U2’s beautiful day was also considered, as was a semi-operatic song performed by Russell Watson. It’s not simply a rehash of the hate it/love arguments. I encourage you to read it.

  My head canon is that there’s another stage to the Gorn lifecycle that we haven’t yet seen on SNW. It might be that with full maturity, the Gorn gain significant intelligence and brute strength relative to earlier stages, but lose speed and agility.
