@NastasiyaFun: And in my opinion, this is one of the strongest dramatic episodes of the season. Even if it is diluted with moralizing about the dangers of smoking in a humorous form, but the part about Gordon leaves a residue.
A series with a bittersweet aftertaste. I really expected something more cosmic, and I was a little tense (for the rest of the episode) when Gordon said that his father's name was Greg too. I kept hoping they wouldn't make such a move, where he's her great-great-great-grandson.) ~ A separate delight was caused by a hipster bow and a crocodile game)))))
@Nokia21: There are a lot of powerful episodes in the series, like this one, which on the one hand seems to be simple, but on the other hand raises very important ethical issues.
For some reason, I thought it would be shown later that this photo turned out to be in a real phone, but Gordon would never know about it. Then everything would really be for real)
@Merido_Brew: What's wrong with Family Guy? Seth voices half of all the characters there himself, which in my opinion is a fantastic job: Brian, Stu, Peter, Quagmire, Tom Tucker, Pewdershmith - the dialogue between them is a dialogue of one person. Family Guy also shuts down many other TV projects, and most of those that have already slipped.
A bit of a lyrical series, after the action. I was pleased with Bortus, as I saw that he took a cigarette, I thought: again)))) Bortus and its dependencies))) and lighting a cigarette from a weapon is just trash)))
Maclans-nariks are a separate kind of comedy)))The series is great, and touching, and sad. There was even a slight whiff of a black mirror, from the hopelessness of Gordon's situation. There was an episode in the last season, in my opinion, the best in it, about a relationship that was not meant to be.
Historian Scientist: WTF is a Wirless Telecommunications Facility Holo-simulation program: (downloads all data from an unfamiliar device, recreates the historical period down to the smallest detail) And why don't they have sessions in this room scheduled for a year in advance? Anyone in the story takes and occupies this room for half a day or all night.
@Togusa: The simulation was built accurately not only according to the data on the phone, but also according to other databases at that time. Well, I think reproducing a couple of rooms from photographs is not such a big problem for the supercomputers of the future. As for the fact that the room is used whenever they want, it may be a miscalculation. What else can they do, how can they have fun? There is no television. I have not seen any computers/phones as we currently have them. Perhaps only the senior staff has access to the holos, which would somehow explain the lack of a schedule.
@AlinBlueberry: Then it turns out that they all have much better things to do on a ship without Internet or television than a virtual reality in which you can make any dreams come true. Or there is more than one gallop deck.
@Doro: Well, this is somewhat understandable, it has already been noticed more than once. Plus, in some episode, it seemed like someone said the phrase "Meet me in the third simulator" or something like that.
@Togusa: Well, as for the simulation program, it seems to me that for it it's like if we dug up a stone axe. Although it is also partly an unfamiliar device, we will be able to use it, because the technology has long been studied and understood by everyone. For such a progressive technology, capable of adapting to various connectors and connections, having the entire database of humanity, it will not be a problem to open an iPhone.
@Filadora: Yes, I think it would have been worse if things had worked out the other way around. After all, she was the one who put the phone in the capsule, that is, the saved content ran out and he would have just a virtual game. And so it turned out to be a real relationship with a real ending that did not contradict the real life of that girl.
And the photo "for the capsule" at the end is like a recursive symbol of the end of history, the collision of simulation and reality.
@leshlepesh: ))) it's evil... eternal!!)) The "set" in the capsule is just something - laughter through tears. It is sad to realize that cigarettes, chewing gum, a phone with a bunch of stupid selfies, MMOs and text messages, flip flops, toilet literature in the form of a book "50 shades of grey", canned food from "shit" and other "necessary for man" things are what characterize our civilization. And that all this junk was deemed worthy of a time capsule. That's advertising through the ages! Screenwriters know how to tease the audience)
@Filadora: Well... The "capsule" is not from some kind of "All-Earth 2015", but a local one from a small town in America. It's like when you and your friends get together and bury the same thing. You won't be hanging out there looking for a Rembrandt to put in a capsule, which, moreover, won't describe you in any way, unless it's just to troll the archaeologists of the future.
@Filadora: You have a strange disregard for simple human life. And for historians, such capsules will be more valuable than entire museums crammed with Exhibits, because it's all real and unadorned, and there's nothing strange or shameful about it. Absolutely nothing.
@shiroisasori: And many people like to throw fluff, but if you ask the question - "What attributes do you think reflect the current modernity?", then the answer will clearly deviate far from such eloquent attacks.
@shiroisasori: I agree. For archaeologists, household items are always extremely valuable. It is even better if they were actively used in this very everyday life and have some kind of their own specifics. Art objects can help restore the overall picture of people's worldview, but only everyday objects give this picture shape.
What an amazing future they've painted! What a good story with Gordon! Seth is as handsome as ever! I really wanted such a series! Funny, serious, sincere!
Leighton is such a cutie, it doesn't seem to change at all over the years)
Personally, in the series, I saw the idea of how we idealize objects of sympathy and build ourselves a "picture" instead of a real person. There are enough simulations in our world too, they're just in our head)
)) And the little things, having lain for 400 years, have been preserved... cigarettes are so magical - they haven't even lost their smell over the centuries)))))))))
In Orville, the plot of the present is so subtly shown through the prism of the future: and how no one on Earth smokes anymore, but how alluring the aroma of tobacco is that a new species cannot resist; where is the line between the present and simulation and that one should not try to forcibly change the life of another person, that everyone leaves a mark in the habits of another person.
@MDHouse: I liked the moment with the newspaper: civilization is on the verge of an ecological catastrophe, and they have a full-page advertisement for teeth whitening)))
@MDHouse: The answer is clearly given in the series, the simulation is edited by a person, and reality lives on its own. Although with the resources you can "edit" your real life by bribing people, your relationship will be so real.
A human is actually also a computer, just very complex. If it becomes possible to create such simulations or humanoid robots with cool AI in their skulls, how will they differ from humans?! Nothing.
@Actiregularis: Well, when it came up in the series, there was a dialogue about self-awareness. But I'm sure the hologram is also capable of analyzing itself to an extent, if the hologram realizes that it is just a simulation, it can be a nightmare for it.
That feeling when a filer episode breaks your heart😢 By the way, it's already the end of the second season, and the crew doesn't pair up, Ed/Kelly and Doc/Isaac are on hiatus, the only married couple constantly in conflict...
@Renfree: Why pair them up? It always infuriated me that in serics they love to break up all the characters in pairs with all these relationships, such a thing.
What a sweet, touching, sad and inspiring series! This series is one of the best in the world! In such a light form, under the guise of "simple fiction", to remove something that touches such necessary strings in the soul. It's really very simple and absolutely brilliant at the same time! Well, and about smoking - great! )))
A secret correction was made to the simulation program and Gordon turned out to be the "third extra". Bortus and his partner were burned for 25 packs, and he laughed for a long time. A wonderful episode! Touching!!!
@lyoka_d: he also linked the phone to the simulation when he created the device. Like, there's no hologram in the room, but it can simulate communication.
Gordon is wonderful; and it's a pity that he's so lonely - I want to give him a handful of happiness. Like the commentator above, if I were there, I would also fall in love with him. ♥
I haven't watched the episode yet, but at the moment when Bortus asks for 500 cigarettes, there are actually 464 of them. A minute of important information.
I love how progressive humanity has realized the full harm of cigarettes, and no one has smoked on Earth for 400 years! But everyone stubbornly continues to drink every episode :)
@Airstrike404: Well, if you don't drink, then you can go into outer space and fly like a cuckoo. Alcohol and tobacco have completely different effects.
Orville, as always, is great, and it's getting better with each episode. But here's Blair (Leighton Meester) I didn't expect to see it, it's nice to see familiar faces.)
Moklans are weak before nicotine. there would be a whole race of smokers) when Laura's ex appeared, it seemed to me that it was Wil Wheaton. Well, since Tuvok appeared. Wesley Crusher could have made a cameo appearance. or like Wil to "fuck up" one of the characters.
A very enjoyable episode, funny and at the same time sad and meaningful! I hope Gordon finds his happiness and sings great!) I laughed at the Moklans, of course))
Discussion: Season 2, Episode 11 Join the Discussion
97+ this season, too much time is devoted to Mockumentation in the main plot or sub-plot of episodes.. Will it play out in the final?)
Of course, there are funny moments, but, on the whole, it's kind of sad.

Gordon is a romantic after all)

I sometimes think I could fall in love with Gordon if he were real.
Give me a simulation...
What a good story with Gordon!
Seth is as handsome as ever!

Well, and about smoking - great! )))
but seriously, it's because of such episodes that I fell in love with Orville - very sincerely and from the bottom of my heart.
and all. I wanted to smoke)
Like, there's no hologram in the room, but it can simulate communication.
What a touching episode!!!!
super series!
A minute of important information.
But here's Blair (Leighton Meester) I didn't expect to see it, it's nice to see familiar faces.)

At least start watching Gossip Girls because of her.
It feels like a good fantasy melodrama in full meter
