Review of Deflectors

The Orville: Deflectors (2019)
Season 2, Episode 7
This is a Moclan's way. Deal with it.

Warning: Spoilers
Back in 2003 an episode "Cogenitor" of Star Trek: Enterprise was released. With powerful, yet unpleasant (to some, that is) message - your way is not the right way simply because you think it's right. And your actions against something you perceive as bigoted and close minded, may lead to a disaster. In the case of "Cogenitor" actions of a progressive and tolerant human led to death of innocent soul (two, if one will count an unborn child) and ruined a first contact with highly advanced and peaceful race.

"Orville" tries to send a mesage of it's own, though not with the same success.

This is a Moclan's way. That's how they do things. While your species evolved on a paradise (high-gravity paradise is still a paradise) they evolved and survived on a hellish planet and achieved space flight - all on their own. Maybe one day their ways will change. But only if and when they decide to do just that. Accept that. Deal with it. And if you can not - stay the hell out.
