They may getting at something that I noticed as well. When presenting a sci-fi-ish moral conundrum involving aliens, The Orville is much more willing than ST to come down firmly on one side or the other and get a little preachy about it, even. The feeling I got is that Seth McFarlane probably watched TNG (and clearly loved it) but got annoyed when they would be like, “It’s such a shame these values would cause conflict within the Federation. Sad. Anyway, on the next one…”
I imagine teenage Seth just jumping up and down and shouting “NO! THEY’RE WRONG! TELL THEM THEY’RE BEING ASSHOLES, JEAN-LUC!”
