The most recent episode of the Orville was pretty awesome, which is good since I haven't liked season 2 very much up to this point. The Orville goes to Isaac's homeworld in the most recent episode. I had been wondering some things about Isaac. I was wondering who the builders of his artificial race was originally, and what had happened to them. And I give myself points for having correctly picked up on something concerning Isaac being named Isaac. In Judaism, people have 'midot'. These are a person's fundamental attributes. Isaac's is 'din', or judgement. I wondered if that was going to tie into the Orville character. I could have been wrong. They could have named him that as simply a nod to Asimov. But the Orville's Isaac is definitely an Isaac in the Judaic sense of the name as well.
