The Orville Heading Back To The Future • The Orville S03E06

I do like that they finally explain how a ship in a Star Trek like universe is able to travel through warp without traveling through time. Having the ability to enable and disable that part of the ships engine is a really cool concept.

It's a good thing their calculations weren't off. Imagine what would have happened if the Orville showed up and it turns out they arrived just as Ed and Gordon was boarding the Orville in the first episode. As best stated in the RoboCop vs. The Terminator comic series from Dark Horse Comics: "Time travel is tricky business."

You can tell how crappy Ed feels about what he did to his friend…pretty messed up moral conundrum…duty over happiness…

This actually is a very sad story that the past Gordon family were wiped out

I’m glad someone remembered time dilation.

So glad this clip was up, the composer for the background music when they were going to the future slapped so hard. Thank you OP

[BlazeMakesGames]

I did love this bit. Travelling to the past is hard, but going to the future is easy. Only thing is that you'd think that the various space faring civilizations would be aware of this weird random ship that was flying to a star and back for 400 years and could potentially interfere, but perhaps everyone thought better of it lol.

If they stayed at that speed for one hour, they would be hundreds of thousands of years in the future, technically the human race would never be extinct if they keep on travelling to the future in space arks

I really like this show? First logical speed of light time reference since the fourth grade. 1969

[NoahSpurrier]

The science checks out. That’s one of the things I love about this show.

[cooldrummerguy]

Best piece of sci fi which turns out to not even be sci fi, it’s just very accurate science. 👏👏

[FreeThePorgs]

Based off how this show goes I’m not surprised somebody didn’t make a flux capacitor!!

[phillipgathright]

Does the Planetary Union have a version of Temporal Investigations? If they do, Ed and co. will have some splainin' to do.

[Graeme_Lastname]

They mucked up the Doppler shifted colors. Yeah, I know, I'm being very pedantic. 😉 🖖‍ 👌‍

1) bravo---> using appropriate red/blue shift visual effects.
2) big geek lol---> relativistic travel had been so outdated by this point, it was an after thought.
3) physics teaching props---> excellent practical, simplistic examination of temporal dilation.
4) sad / not really sad---> Gordon's 2015+ timeline exists independently from Orville Gordon if you believe in multiverse theory.
5) big picture temporal directive---> ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY

For once, I actually understood what he was saying.

My watching this clip was immediately followed by an add for Best Buy, titled, "Bring your future to life." 😁

[rhettbaldwin]

I just realized what this means, the whole series up to this point there is another Orville out there traveling back from this star. The entire time up until the point they traveled back in time there were two Orvilles.

[nofe]

The red and blue shift that they experience.
