Based on what we currently do with astronauts, the federation would've had xelayans do shift rounds to prevent this sort of thing. They would work X days on a ship and then spend Y days at home, as well as possibly having gravity training sessions. This fits with what we do with our own astronauts to prevent the same exact thing. Edit: To try and give a response before people keep making the same comments: 1) Yes, I know this is a TV show and not real life. There are many things about this show that are done to make the show run. I just wanted to inform people that we already know NOW the effects of long exposure of low gravity and this would be the typical protocol. 2) Yes, I know this was only done because the actress wanted to move on to other things. Again, my comment was purely informative. 3) Yes, I know they could've just "increased gravity in her room" since they clearly have gravity-altering technology. I was going for a "most basic procedure" comment. I had to reword the first sentence because I was tired of people commenting and saying "huyck huyck, this isn't reality!" as if they saw the first word and IMMEDIATELY had to comment to correct me.
Well, if they have "gravity shields" they'd probably would have the opposite. Perhaps they could use the Holodeck on board to do the same thing. Working around a schedule in the military were you'd be allowed to go back home every X days even if it was for "medical reasons" seems unlikely to be acceptable. They'd just give you a medical discharge.
The ship has artificial gravity. She could just expose herself to high gravity for several hours a day. The scriptwriters never thought of that. I also seem to recall that most of her race don't suffer from degradation in low gravity environments. Just a small percentage suffer from this problem. A genetic anomaly or something.
@@bentonmarcum8924 They did. They came up with a simulation training schedule in the holographic chamber, but she still retired to spend more time with family. In truth the actress was in demand for other works.
@@dolphinerofachero3159she apparently was dating or sleeping with Seth and they stopped seeing each other and it made things awkward on set. That’s at least what I’ve been told.
This is season 2 (top of my head). The actress who played Alara was Seth's girlfriend when they started the show. After season 1 they broke up. Seth wrote her out of the show in a respectful manner. I think this was her last episode.
No reason has been given for her departure, their ended relationship was just a fan theory. Seth actually reportedly wanted her back on the show after she left.
People living on a 10g planet would probably never develop space travel. Just imagine what escape velocity would be. Something multiple times the size and power of a Saturn 5 could barely put a house cat in orbit.
That’s assuming other earth qualities though. If they are more radiation resistant due to a thinner atmosphere, radioactive materials on a MUCH broader scale can be used (think a grouping of 4 fission reactors as a propellant), if they have more strength in lower gravity creating areas of the planet that act as 0g chambers (something we can do on earth) to develop the pieces, launching them into space individually, and then only having to get a small robotic craft in orbit to construct the pieces (similar to the creation/repair of modern satellites) etc. it’s all about their biology and resourcefullness
Seth McFarland has written comedy, drama, horror.. and he does it all well. No other man could’ve made a Star Trek show that drew in regular people. I wish he would pick it back up and continue the project..
@@Hateful_Psycho Go watch S9E1 (or star wars parodies) of family guy and tell me it has no soul llol. Dude kept an adult animation popular and relevant for over 25 years, that's soul :P If you want art, more serious shit, S8E17 - two characters and one scene for an hour
@@Hateful_Psycho That's because he just puts anything and everything on it. Every time he has an idea for a movie or TV show that he can't make, he puts it on Family Guy somehow instead, and finds a way to make it amusing
Seth asked to be given a Trek show. Despite being a huge fan with several successful shows under his belt, the producers said: "Nah, we're going to put the guy who ruined LOST at the helm instead!" So he made the best Trek show in years.
No they are just heavy world-ers. Nothing to do with a particular color of sun allowing them to super charge their cells and develop meta human super powers.
I think you're seeing the effects of type-casting. They find a common archetype for someone who fits the appearance requirements and keep him in mind when similar roles come up. And really, film work is film work, really well-paying and usually a pleasant environment. He was a professional singer, starting out, IIRC. (??) So most people don't complain too muchl.
The only thing that I can't by about this girl is that she eats very little, and yet is a vegetarian diet. Isn't enough to be raised on a high-gravity planet, the extra energy you use for that has to come from somewhere.
@@brianjones7907 While on the subject of Voyager. Neelix reminds me if they wanted a Robin Williams type. The character definitely has some of the mannerisms.
Mr. McFarland..you have a real opportunity w/ this show. You make it obvious that you show respect to the source material, actors from those shows wouldn't do the cameo if not. Keep up the good work
It could be tiny. But exceptionally dense. In fact, even if it were really big it could be like 4G max, you still need a dense planet if it were big. Yuo need mass not size.
10 g , think is small g, would kill a human but surely wouldn't flattened objects I mean you could put the objects into a centrifuge to simulate 10g that would kill a human in minutes but wouldn't squish objects.
Was that a soda can? Maybe the idea it the AIR inside was compressed and it was vacuum that squished the can. Obviously ignoring that, it was just a visual way to represent the gravity shift outside their gravity shield around the shuttle.
@authority1565 true. If I remember right, humans at best can survive 3G max. Anything above 3G and it starts to get too heavy for your heart to function good enough. And yeah, 9G can kill quite easily too Note, this is primarily talking civilian pilots. Military is a little different.
@@Stardust_the_F-104CHow many Gs a human can survive depends on several factors, including the direction of the acceleration and the duration. Negative 2 or 3 Gs push the blood to the head enough to cause most people to quickly pass out. The average person can withstand 4 to 5 Gs in the positive direction (pushing blood to the fleet instead of head) before losing consciousness, and fighter pilots can be trained to remain conscious enough to keep piloting their planes at 9 Gs. The highest G forces tend to come from rapid deceleration, as in crashes. Facing backwards while rapidly decelerating is a lot safer. G forces that would make your eyeballs fly out of your head while facing forward can be harmless while facing backward. The duration of the G forces is th most important thing though. The world record for the most Gs a person has survived is 82.6 Gs, but that was for a small fraction of a second.
I Think Robert Picardo is REQUIRED to have a role in every space opera. I really hope that Disney let The orville contrinue because it's the only decent star trek at the moment.
@@beberivera7011 It hasn't been cancelled, Seth very much wants to continue there just hasn't been a confirmation. Tho Seth has admitted he's been working on season 4.
This is why astronauts need recovery time to acclimate themselves when they return to earth. Even with exercise in space, the zero gravity starts to reduce your muscle mass and make you weaker to earth’s gravity.
Also even a tiny bit of effective gravity is significantly better than none. Because it still gives your body a direction. Which is just as important as weight.
They hadn’t had this issue in centuries, because of the grav generators they worked on 1.2 gravity as they said in the show, many species had their gravities simulated on their quarters, but xelayans needed way more than what the generator could handle at the time, also she was the first xelayan serving so she was the first to experience this
Gravity can be that intense if the size of the planet is also that big. Mass determines gravity. Also, all life would evolve to be massive in size as compared to us.
Robert Picardo telling you his doctor is better than yours 😂😂😂 Fair

Short-sighted writing. If a creature's natural biology allows them to survive in a much heavy stronger gravity environment, then upon entering a vastly lighter gravity would have their body exploding as there is not sufficient counterweight to prevent them bursting. it's the same reason why spacesuits are pressurized, otherwise the astronaut would explode instantly outside of earth's atmosphere.
when are we getting another season of Orville? I love the realistic problems of the characters in combination with trekky ideals and comedic dialog... Orville has the potential to be a super long running series and already has a fandom strong following. Plus, of course "The Doctor" wouldn't want your doctor. Holograms are far superior to flesh and blood bipeds.
Captain: I could have Dr. Finn sent down. Mr. Kitan: Your Doctor was a freighter captain...wait no...I meant...I'm a Doctor not a...Doc...tor.(Looks around nervously) Mrs. Kitan: The Vorta doctors are...I mean the doctors here...
As much as I enjoyed this show, you really have to understand that as a sci-fi it's a whole lot more "fi" than it is "sci". Case in point; Even if you ignore the obvious fact that a humanoid species almost identical to us would NOT be able to evolve and exist on a planet that had 10g, even assuming they could exist, they'd basically be stuck ON that planet forever. Human bodies don't do too good in zero gravity over long periods of time. If our entire body was designed for 10g then at the absolute minimum it would mean our circulatory system was equipped and designed to push 10x more pressure... It would be sort of like what happens to extreme deep-sea critters and other big ocean life when they aren't in the water anymore. If you just yoinked up a blue whale and put it on the beach all of a sudden it's own weight would crush it. The "blob fish" that we've all seen is meant to exist at extreme depths and pressure, so when you take it out of that environment it goes all deflated balloon.... Now imagine that, but the opposite. That's basically what you'd get with a 10g humanoid who went to an environment with magnitudes less gravity. They'd die, very very painfully....
It bums me that season 3 has not been released on DVD. I flat-out WON'T subscribe to a streaming service to watch just TEN episodes of a show, I don't care HOW good it is!
A planet with 10x gravity has some interesting downsides you wouldn’t think about.. like cutlery or equipment, or even architecture, would have to be completely different.. could you even have sutures??
A plant with ten times the gravity 'Looks the clip' Doesn't see a plant. 'Think to himself' 🤔 In his head, he says, 'looks like a PLANET, not a plant'.
I love this show and I think they do an amazing job of making this show both a comedy and feel real. This is one of those episodes that breaks you out of the lore just a big cause you know they have to do this episode cause an actor is leaving but you can’t help but feel it doesn’t make a ton of sense overall like they know this can happen so why would she not be periodically dropped back on planet or we know they can make artificial gravity so why not increase the gravity in her quarters so she has a place to work out and maintain muscles density. But at the end of the day she was a great actor and character and I am glad the show made a big deal when she left.
I don't watch the show, but it would seem in a ship with artificial gravity, having her sleep or a regular regimine of exercise with higher gravity in her room or something would keep her acclimated.
Either they have the lightest clothing ever invented or the clothing is made out of something so dense that she wouldn’t be weak from being away because the clothing would weigh her down similarly to their gravity, but if metal can flatten but her clothing can stay on thats the real plot hole
A planet with 2x the gravity of Earth would probably never learn to fly and absolutely wouldn’t never fly into space. The energy demands make it impossible. They would also be squat little creatures like insects. Anything tall would be unable to circulate its blood.
Для справки: на Юпитере гравитация в 2,4 раза больше Земной... а гравитацию, что нам показали в этом сериале, думаю, можно сравнить с Солнечной : на Солнце 🌞 гравитация в 28 раз больше, чем на Земле 🌎 Так что сложно представить такую планету
Orville established that the gravity is much stronger than Earth's, but the womans clothes and leg proceeds to go up in the air as she falls. This is why I can't bring myself to watch this crap.
