![]() ![]() The Orville season 3, episode 7, "From Unknown Graves" revealed more about how the Kaylon came to despise organic life. RELATED: The Orville Season 4 Can Fix A Missed Star Trek Guest Star OpportunityĪlthough the Kaylon's spherical starships and the clear references to TNG's Battle of Wolf 359 bring Star Trek's Borg to mind, their origins are more aligned with another classic sci-fi villain. ![]() It's hardly surprising, given Seth MacFarlane's extensive pop culture references in his other shows like Family Guy, and here are just seven non- Trek references in The Orville seasons 1 to 3. However, like Star Trek itself, The Orville has also regularly drawn on other works of science fiction, from novels to movies and TV shows. The series has featured many figures from Star Trek history both in front of and behind the cameras, and has liberally drawn from the Trek canon for some of its best moments.įor example, The Orville season 2's award-winning 2-parter, "Identity", in which the Planetary Union went to war with a race of hyper-intelligent robots was heavily influenced by the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation epic "The Best of Both Worlds". First airing in 2017, The Orville was borne out of MacFarlane's desire to fill the gap in the TV schedules left by the cancelation of Star Trek: Enterprise way back in 2005. The influence of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek on Seth MacFarlane's The Orvilleis well-documented, but it's far from the only piece of science fiction referenced in the sci-fi comedy-drama. ![]()
