I love how this one moment in one episode perfectly shows why Heavy Cruisers are sought after postings. Ozawa's ship took multiple consecutive hits from the large Spheres where the lighter cruisers were destroyed entirely by a single hit from the large Spheres. just goes to show the power scaling between Light, Medium, and Heavy cruisers
I like the detail of showing the California flying past the wreckage of a ship of its class when they first see the station. Just because you have a big ship doesn't make you invincible
The microsecond that you see the destruction, you reorganize your ships in a defensive formation to deal with possible incoming threats. Like Star Trek, they wait too long to get into a defensive posture.
defensive posture or not, they were both outnumbered, and their ships outclassed. without defensive geography, there was no chance they could've warded off the Kaylon in a straight fight
i remember their smaller craft used that tactic in the battle for earth. in that battle, several tore right through the union ships without a scratch. the structure of their ships are likely intended for pure combat, so the outer ring are probably some kind of armor shell specifically for that reason
Nice to finally see a beam weapon. Now all they need is to figure out how to shoot backwards... Aft weapons would be so incredibly helpful in that chase

@@Karuiko Even though I rewaatched the first two seasons before season 3 came out, it's still been over 2 months since then and I'd forgotten that scene lol
Haven't seen a well-executed space battle like this since watching DS9's 'Sacrifice of Angels.' Kudos for "Orville" writers and show-runners for getting 'Star Trek' right 😉
Indeed, i miss the good old days of real Star Trek. I know it not fair to compare this show to DS9 or TNG as it is its own entity and should be judged accordingly. But considering the awful state of the Star Trek franchise, thanks to Kurtzman and his goons, it is understandable why so many make the comparison.
Well executed? It was a ship poorly set up for combat flying around a debris field being shot at by basically chunky fighters as stationary larger ships miss most of their beam shots. The majority of Orville battles aren't that amazing, it's just a bunch of ships zipping around like bees with front facing weapons only for some reason and absolutely no regard for intertia or mass which does apply in space! That's why Starfleet ships don't zip around at crazy speeds, the strain would snap parts of the ship off. Which is why despite very few actually understanding it, the 32nd century ships had the magnetic connection between ship segments, flexibility and no strain on physical joints means swift turns at far greater speeds.
@@adambrown6669 I don't know about the magnetic bond mumbo-jumbo. How many times has Voyager, Defiant or Enterprise get hit by energy dampeners? Whoops just lost your warp nacelles. In engineering we call that a lack of fail security. This happens when we design our margins too thin...ironicaly more matter creates better bonds, distributes heat from weapons fire better and despite what you may think about magnetic fields removing load stress from the rest of the ship, the opposite is true because of the EM bosons are still allowing loads (momentum and inertia ) to flow through the zero spin scalar fields.
The DS9 battles were many things, but well-executed is not one of them. Ship scales were all over the place, inconsistent and often nonsensical...shields were sometimes there, sometimes not, sometimes cheaply excused away with shield-ignoring weaponry instead of actually shown to be bypassed...relative ship strengths were whatever the hell the current author needed for the plot (that was inherited from TNG), without rhyme or reason...the movement of the ships, especially early on in the show, was just toy-like and weird and made no sense for HUGE heavy vessels in empty space...I never got the love for the battle stuff in that show. It's just infuriating to watch. DS9 had strengths, the battles weren't among them.
I know they add the camera shaking to make it more dramatic but if the crew of a spacecraft were able to feel the effects of a energy, the resultant shock would cause serious if not fatal injuries!
When I saw Gordon get hit with that energy surge and saw multiple Gordons in the air before disappearing, I thought that there would be Gordons in every era of time on earth.
I'd wanna see Orville with the budget and vfx quality of trek first before that. If Seth could give us Orville stories with the budget and quality of Strange new worlds, whilst maintaining the light heartedness Star trek has always had. Then maybe. But if he makes all the ships fight like Orville ships I'll be forced to commit a randomly selected felony
What I do not understand is, when the overload happened and Maloy was sent flying back, there were multiples of him which implies several versions of him. I wish they had expanded on that.
They had important cargo they didn't want the kaylon getting their hands on. That's why the kaylon put them in a tractor beam instead of blowing them up. If the fought, they risked losing/getting captured and the kaylon would've gotten their stuff. Plus, it's an ambush; they were caught unaware. If a crocodile ambushes a lion, yeah it might struggle and and fight back little but the main objective is to try and get away. Sure they can both fight but it's an ambush. The lion was unprepared and took on injuries. They're likely not going to win if they decide to stick it out
@sabrewolf4129 and still it isn't logical in the slightest. bridgecrew runs to do x or y, no that would be done by crew the orville somehow get's to dictate galactic events and union policy, even declaring and organising wars (based on earlier episodes) they also consort with the highest members of various societies and routinely dictate what is right or wrong to them even going as far as to insult or treathen them if they disagree (which they did during a warcounsil with primary and his general staff even?) the show is entertaining (not that entertaining either) but from all i've seen it is a posterchild for neoliberal ideology in the international relations theory sense. ("a galaxy can only function if our base ideology is adopted by all" being the main issue here.)
Is this the one where they screwed Gordon out of a perfect life and kids? Ed, I cannot forgive you for that. I like Gordon amd dont want to see him go but I would have been insanely happy for that to have been the end of his story arc.
In the Orville you see the ships in stupidly close formation to each other and often colliding with each other. My theory is that the energy weapons are very powerful even at far distance but are most effective at stupidly close range and because of how advance sheild technology is, the only way to attack a ship is to be no further than a few 100 meters.
I truly enjoy the show, but all the fights just feel like one sided beat downs against the Planetary Union. In any given fight we see tons of their ships blowing up but hardly any of who they are fighting, I hope at some point its more even
I personally like that though. Kaylon is "just" 1 planet but the Union is a collection. It's perfectly reasonable that the Union has more ships but their technology isn't as impressive on each one. I also like that the fighting styles are different, for example ramming making a lot of sense for AI who can be downloaded back to Kaylon or who have different calculations in their value of life. It's not like the Union don't have serious ships, the battle cruiser here took an absolute pounding, whilst Kaylon ships are destroyed often enough to give hope. You might need a 4-5 : 1 advantage to win a space battle, but it is winnable.
@@salazar4810 I know but you just know that's something that he'd put in his report to Ed and the crew would talk about. Whoevers in the captain's chair I justvwabt them to say..... Gordon! Yes sir? Hug the donkey......YES SIR!!! 😉🤣
It would be great if Seth would show reruns in the summer for over the air tv, for us that don't have streaming TV, enjoy watching season 1 when it was Ota. Thanks
It's starting to get annoying how useless they are against the Kaylon. It seems like all the Kaylon would've had to do is wait a day and they would've won. In season 2's battle it was shown that the Kaylon's real advantage was numbers, and the Union whittled them down by attrition so by the time the Krill arrived they had to retreat. Now? They dominate every fight with equal numbers. It's pathetic, the Union doesn't even get one kill in while getting reamed up against the wall. Why are the Kaylon even bothering being sneaky? Just waltz up to Earth again and kill everything.
If anything isn't it the opposite? There's no way the Kaylon outnumber a multitude of other species, especially since they themselves only use their one solar system until recently. The reason why their so hard to defeat is the quality rather than quantity, the Kaylon are more organized and advanced then most species, so the only way to defeat them is to outnumber them.
@@captaindrake1235 I'm referring to the battle of Earth where they arrived with overwhelming force and hoped to individually obliterate each faction. While they are also more advanced the fact remains that the Union was able to fight back, it's just that their rate of attrition was greater than the Kaylon's. In every season 3 battle however the Kaylon wipe the floor with them, it's not even a contest.
To be fair. They were outnumbered and those science class vessels in no way a match against kaylon vessels. The only thing that can fight those Kaylon vessels are the Leviathan class Heavy Cruisers.
Id add that the defence of the Earth was called out at the last minute, so at the time it was all they could get at short notice. On top of that, this was planned ambush. Of course there would be more enemy ships prepared, than the escort would have. I must say, I love the Orville space battles... they realy do look better and have more going on in them, than we usualy see in Star Wars and Star Trek.
Nobody wants to talk ábout that its not normal that the keylons knew there the device will be before even they are there, and that they knew that the device was on board of the orville? Or even knew which ship is the orville? i mean common, they really had no reason to script that in : 3:53 , i think it was more to distract from a much more important information
Problems with their ship was that there are no turrets. They'd have to shoot from the front, which would mean they are vulnerable to attacks unless they manage to break free from the dogfight and do a somersault and shoot the enemy.
Union ships are both extremelt maneuverable, especially with the right helmsman, like Lt. Gordon Malloy, or if not, they have torpedos that can engage in all directions
Question: Why doesn't the Orville just shoot the tractor beam? I mean, they have energy weapons, a tractor beam would have to effect on what those fire
@@more-reasons6655 Maneuverability, not speed. Even in space there's G-Forces and Inertia. Take a quote from Mass Effect, "That thing just pulled a turn that would shear any of our ships in half."
indeed. 1:01 This scene completely reminds me of the one from "The Best of Both Worlds", ep 2 when The Enterprise arrives at Wolf 359 and sees all those destroyed Starfleet ships that had been destroyed by the Borg.
ST TOS Constitution-class starships. Rearward-firing weapons weren't introduced into ST until suggested by NASA consultant Jesco Von Puttkamer on ST TMP.
Ya know, something tells me we’d be ok with just script. Maybe add some elevator Muzak. Anybody here remember those half assed jokester days? I bet “drives too often in the Macfarlane” does. Anyway, getting your broken Jeffries tubes sucked to The Man From Barcelona might get a standard O-ring seal of approval. Ok manholes, whatevs.
Anyone else hoping that the new "ensign" (Seth's current girlfriend) died in this attack so we would stop her "mean girl acting method" ruining episode momentum?

Question: Why doesn't the Orville just shoot the tractor beam? I mean, they have energy weapons, a tractor beam would have to effect on what those fire
presumably the kaylon's shields are still up which would mean that firing at them would do nothing but use precious power with nothing to show for it
Best comedy of the week.
That was one hell of a fight
The Kaylon wanted to send a special unit back to 1984.....
At least this is better than those cheezy "Fan films. "
Wish i knew where to wat h this, ive only seen 3 episodes
Well done, captain Brian!
"hang on to something" 😂🤣🤣🤣
Do they not have aft phasers/lasers/shooty firey blast things
"ORVILLE," the Great POPCORN MAKER!!
( Reddenbacher).
Visuals are fantastic but I don't like how its more of the same large starships maneuvering like fighter planes. These are big lumbering masses.
You do realise the earth moves through space faster than a fighter plane. What does the mass have to do with their speed here?
@@more-reasons6655 Maneuverability, not speed. Even in space there's G-Forces and Inertia. Take a quote from Mass Effect, "That thing just pulled a turn that would shear any of our ships in half."
weapon's reaction to the quantum discharge only affects humans, clothes and guns. not the set ;)
Daang look at that Menuverability
Love this show but imagine if the ships could fire backwards. Might be useful in battle lol
I find the lack of rear weapons arrays disturbing....
I have a bad feeling about this is a reference to Star Wars right?
No wonder the union is losing,theyre not shooting back.
Reminds me of Wolf 359, after a fashion.
indeed. 1:01 This scene completely reminds me of the one from "The Best of Both Worlds", ep 2 when The Enterprise arrives at Wolf 359 and sees all those destroyed Starfleet ships that had been destroyed by the Borg.
Bring on Season 4 of the Orville.
The Orville is getting better and better Nu trek going backwards........
this show is good.
That was on TV and they canceled it so how can they constantly be 2nd and 3rd season
0:39 Anakin is that you?
Why the heck are kids allowed on the Orville if it’s a military vehicle???
This a Star Trek Spinoff?
Yes
Why didn’t the union use Issac to produce more effective weapons
They just had to reverse the shield polarity...
Why they make planetary union ships so fucking useless. 😂
I was under the ipression that Orville is a comedy ( I've admittedly not watched it yet). Am i incorrect?
FOX started imposing their will on Seth in season 2 to make it more serious.
I'm worried for what happened with Maloy
It's nice to see some starships that don't fall to pieces from the first impact. Star Trek vessels are way too fragile, Orville did it right
Who would name a starship the California. Good grief .
400 years from now and they still know what California is
Is that surprising to you? Cali wont even be 600 years old at that point would it?
You've heard of England and that's already over 1,000 years old
So why does EVERY ship only fire forward??? This is a MAJOR tactical flaw. Just dont get in front of anybody??
Excellent ❤
Who builds a spaceship that can only fire in 1 direction?
ST TOS Constitution-class starships.
Rearward-firing weapons weren't introduced into ST until suggested by NASA consultant Jesco Von Puttkamer on ST TMP.
What channel is this series on ?
season 3 is hulu only while the first two seasons are probably in Disney+
Ya know, something tells me we’d be ok with just script. Maybe add some elevator Muzak.
Anybody here remember those half assed jokester days? I bet “drives too often in the Macfarlane” does.
Anyway, getting your broken Jeffries tubes sucked to The Man From Barcelona might get a standard O-ring seal of approval. Ok manholes, whatevs.
Anyone else hoping that the new "ensign" (Seth's current girlfriend) died in this attack so we would stop her "mean girl acting method" ruining episode momentum?
Human will be destroyed by ai which is a superior form of existence.
Isn't Kaylon a Star Trek race?
The kazon are
The Cylons - Dr Who 🤷🏼♂️
I miss blondie was so sad what happened to her :-(
04:49 shoot Gordon shoot
