The discussion about rights in this story reminds me very much of my favorite lines in the movie Pump Up the Volume. Where Principle Creswood says "Can't you understand that nothing is more important than a good education." and Mr. Hunter responds, "Except the basic right to it." In this episode of the Orville, Lysella states that "Everybody deserves a voice." and Bortus responds "A voice should be earned not given away." Both of these quotes/statements are correct and could take up weeks of discussion in a Social Studies class. Basic rights are important but earning a voice (from educating yourself and proving your worth) go hand in hand. MacFarlane's attempt to educate us, through this well scripted story, that our vote counts. (We have a right to vote) but we should educate ourselves, confirm our facts (not just go with the majority or believe the general hype) is just as important. The writing in this episode is on par with the rest of the exceptional story telling of this series. I hope season three and beyond are just as thought provoking and fun.
