Enterprise CVN-65 used the captain's windows from the WW2 Enterprise. Enterprise CVN-80 uses metal in it's hull melted from spars taken from the CVN-65. It's a real thing.
And the NAVY recognizes that you DON'T put -B, -C, etc at the end of registry numbers for frak sake!!! The -A made sense because it was the same hull design, but every one thereafter is just asinine, jeez.
26:06 exactly! Thank you! I hear people say he’s not the TOS Spock. Of course he’s not! SNW is a prequel to TOS. This is like expecting Vader in the Prequel Trilogy behave the same as in the Original Trilogy. Boimler puts it best when he says he was expecting people to behave like they are in a future that hasn’t happened yet. He’s forgetting about the people in front of him right now.
I wonder if Hurricanes are just normal drinks to Orions? We know they're immune to at least one gas that causes hallucinations in humans, so maybe they're immune to the effects of the drink too? It amuses me to picture an only slightly tipsy Tendi just casually downing her 5th glass while Mariner bugs out on the floor.
I LOVED this crossover and watched it as soon as it came out! It was released early because it was shown at Comic-Con at the weekend and there would’ve been crazy spoilers online. The whole crossover was so well done and felt like a proper blend of both shows, as well as their respective story elements (like Tendi’s Orion history or Una’s Illyrian arc). I’m such a massive Boimler fan and he definitely didn’t disappoint here. Both Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome did brilliantly as their live-action versions. I don’t know if you know this but the whole thing with Ransom having the hots for Una at the end is because the actors for both characters are married in real life. Anyway, I’m glad you loved this episode too. Great reaction! Finally, as you asked at the start, there IS reference made to this whole incident in the new Lower Decks Season 4 trailer.😁👏
@@mattwho81 I appreciate the sentiment, but I feel like that would be too confusing. Like I’m sure Seth MacFarlane would love to work with Star Trek and its actors again, but making a crossover like that make sense would be insane. Would it be an alternate universe? Does Trek exist in The Orville’s pop culture past? My personal opinion is that there’s too much talk of multiverses in popular franchises nowadays, and Trek’s timeline crossovers are enough for me (at least they’re all in the same universe). They would have to do a REALLY good job for it to make sense for me. But that’s just my two cents!
Sadly, with two episodes left, we still haven't gotten our Ortegas episode and with a musical being one of the two episodes, I don't think there is enough room for her. She hits my old Navy sailor soul.
@@spamsir It's frustrating that they create a unique new character, unknown to fans, but do nothing with that character. I don't want a tragic backstory, but I do want more than "I drive the ship."
Yeah. We did technically get to see some of her trauma from the war in the latest episode, but it wasn’t really focused on her, and it’s not like we got to see any of her personal experiences and what she went through.
Two tidbits for you: 1.) The "Riker!" that Boimler calls out when throwing his leg over the saddle was a complete improvisation - imagine yelling that IN FRONT OF Riker himself! 2.) According to Jonathan Frakes, that line is the one which completely cracked his wife (Jeanne Francis) up when she heard it. Nicely done, Mr. Quaid. Nicely done.
Yeah! I was expecting there to be at least one down, convinced maybe I was watching the episode with rose-colored glasses. And that’s how I found out about a lot of the Easter eggs haha

Well, it's a good episode, but somehow feels like I expected more. Don't know, maybe because it seems to be a plot of "we need this crossover, so let's create a synthetic situation where they are together", instead of thinking of somebody natural that makes them meet. Maybe I just want too much, don't know.
So glad you enjoyed the episode. I had niggles but enjoyed parts of it. I wish they would root a timeline decision instead of trying to have their cake and eating it too. I get this is supposedly a different timeline so references to TOS canon seem weird, judgmental, and hypocritical. If this is TOS canon then Spock and Kirk's actions and relationship then make less sense as Spock has gone through this handling emotions/being more human song and dance before. And I really do not want to see a Chapel/Spock relationship. Spock grinning and laughing was pretty offputting to me and the lectures on canon were very irritating. Explore Chapel's character independent of Spock, that is the story and character I want to see. And no to La'Ann and Kirk. More stories about Pike, Una, Chapel, M'Benga, Sulu, etc. independent of the big four TOS personalities please. I think Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Scotty have had their time in the sun. I grew up watching them. I do not care to see their stories re-told, or see new stories with them in them, or see variations of them, or to see them in Trek since TNG (TAS and movies exceptions). To me, it's just fan service to some to add them now and a bane to me. Enough of going back to the well. The animators did not to justice to Mariner's character at all. I was fascinated at how LD characters kept the animated actions (running/jumping/flying into each other) in SNW. And I was interested in how the SNW crew interacted with them. As an episode about dealing with one's heroes and seeing how those hero's they react; it was quite a hat doff to the fan service of the franchise and a nice reference point to air it at a fan event.
It absolutely not the Canon Timeline. This show, Duhscovery and Pretendcard are abominations from the Kelvin Timeline, a Kelvin Timeline offshoot or a whole separate Timeline but with all the historical and character personality errors, none of them are in the Canon Timeline.
If you go back and watch TOS and compare it to other shows you consider canonical, you might be surprised to find out many continuity errors, characterisation changes and terrible writing have always existed within Trek franchises. It's okay to dislike Trek shows but to say they're not as 'real' somehow is silly.
