The Orville New Horizons "Domino" Episode 9 Review

Comments

I like some of NuTrek, but S1 of Disco is trash, and it's bad in almost too many ways to describe. It's a whole season of TNG "Code of Honor". That the federation "won" the war with the Klingons by putting a bomb under the bed of every Klingon child, and then installing a puppet government with their finger on the trigger is the least Trek thing ever. This episode of Orville did some stuff like Stargate with ARG tech, but even the political establishment understood that doing a genocide was a bad idea. Even threatening to do one was distasteful.

To be fair, I like modern Trek but this episode was great too

Honestly, I feel like this episode was written just to mock Discovery S1, and its Dick Cheneyesque "Total War" morality. A whole stealthy ground op to stop a genocidal weapon, rather than plant one. More Trek than Trek.
