I have seen first 5 episodes of Orville. So far I have really enjoyed all of them. This show seems to be a mix of comedy\drama\action series.
The show is obvious Parody of Start Trek. Episode 5 was actually directed by Jonathan Frakes from STNG.
Anyway, be aware there are SPOLIERS below. So if you want to watch this Episode first - DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.
In this Episode guest star Charlize Theron is a ship Capt name Pria, that gets rescued by the Orville.
Later in the episode she helps them navigate thru a Dark Matter storm and saves everyone's life.
Then she reveals she is actually from 400 years in the future.
She explains to them she travelled into the past via a Cosmic Wormhole that was discovered in her future time.
She came back because she knew the Orville would be destroyed by the Black Matter storm.
Now that she saved the ship - she wanted to take the ship and entire crew thru the Time Wormhole into the future.
Then she would see the "antique ship" to the highest bidder.
The crew would be free to live out their lives in the future.
(She never explained how she navigates the time Wormhole to get her to a specific location or point in time. So will let this slid).
Anyway Capt Mercer tells here that they are not going into the future with her. In fact they are going to destroy the Wormhole.
(I always like sci-fi time shift stories because it get's strange when trying to figure out the time arcs. Here is where it gets strange.).
After the Orville destroys the Time Wormhole, Pria character vanishes.
This makes sense.
Since the Wormhole was destroyed in "present" time, it never existed for her to use, therefore she never could have come through it.
But if that is the case, then why didn't the Orville disappear?
If she never came back in time, then she never saved the Orville. So wouldn't the Orville have been destroyed?
Some people claim since the Orville went off course to rescue Pria then she was the cause of them eventually going thru the Dark Matter storm.
Therefore if she did not come back, they would not have went off course.
But she told them, she only came back because she knew the ship was destroyed.
This means the destruction occurred without her being a part of it, and should still result even if she does not come back.
So how is it the ship still exists after the cause of their rescue is removed from the equation?
What am I missing?
