@finfan ooooh, that Picard scene! That's quintessential TNG! That double episode counts as one of my favourites from that series (if not THE favourite). Funny that you mention the Borg, it's definitely a suitable comparison (I didn't think of them while watching this episode, but it makes a lot of sense). It seems The Orville is slowly abandoning the "Family Guy in space" concept and becoming a Star Trek clone with cojones :D
@misnomer It was definately one of the highlights of TNG and you honestly couldn't be sure if that was the end of Picard. The main difference was the Borg assimilate while the Kaylons seem to be eradicating. But I couldn' help the comparison. I was thinking for some time now that if they drop the comedy (which the partially did) they could become a seriously great scifi show.

Depending the outcome I'd say they have just stepped up the serious factor of this show by a lightyear. And we've just met the Borg of the Orville universe. Remember when Picard turned towards the screen saying "Resistance is futile" ? This comes damn close to my reaction back than.
