Isn't that part of the fun of this show though? He's having a bad day, like we all do, and so he slouches into his office (the bridge) and kinda throws himself into his chair (the captains seat) with a sigh and gets to work. He's not military, he's just a normal guy that is the captain of a small ship in the future.

Aren't all captains officers?
He has the rank of commander and so does his ex wife whose walk is much more officer like.
But the Union in Orville is the same as Starfleet in Star Trek. They are not military organisations. They do have the capability to bring force to bare when necessary but a military implies that it is an organisation which is solely intended for attack and defence. That is not what is depicted in both universes.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

Originally posted by Annoyed View PostIt also makes sense that an interstellar society of their level would combine the exploratory function with the defense function; it's simply intelligent expenditure of resources. Why have two separate fleets, each with some of the same capabilities?
Meanwhile it's also a growing belief among psychologists that part of the reason why the modern day has seen such a rapid rise of mental health issues like depression and anxiety(besides them being more readily recognised) is because many jobs and indeed life in general is built around highly repetitive tasks with very little variety.
So when you think about it, in a future like Star Trek it makes sense for everyone to be polymaths, particularly when on a starship. We haven't seen such evidence of this in The Orville yet, but certainly in Trek almost all Starfleet chracters have multiple specialisations and interests. Merging intellectual scientific discourse with military-like drills would be a great way of ensuring crews remain stimulated during voyages and it's almost a happy accident that comes from necessity.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

So has anyone heard the news?
