Xtians are getting their feathers ruffled by Orville

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Gee . . .

outraged martyrs in a religious protest organization.

the familiarity of the If The Stars Should Appear episode was pretty high

even the incidental music seemed 'lifted' from Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Oh I LOVED that show.  Seth McFarlane (as all of you know, an outspoken atheist) is using his show to point out the evils of belief without sufficient evidence, and with theocratic societies.  (Actually, it looks like they might be taking the original Star Trek episodes and re-writing some of them.  This one was very much like "For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky".  The Enterprise finds an asteroid that contains a generational ship on a collision course with an inhabited planet.  The people within are also inslaved by a punitive theocracy.  

This episode's title comes from a quote in the show, by a native who strayed out of bounds and found that the SKY was a painted wall:  "But things are not as they teach us. For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky."    This was on of my favorite quotes after realizing that I could no longer believe in xtian teachings.

Where where they in condemning the new Cosmos series with Neil?

Every episode spent a bit of time pointing out the fact that all the world's religions in our species history had gatekeepers whom flipped out when you questioned their social norms.

Yes we should question religion, it is why we no longer own slaves and women can vote.

turns out many institutions don't like questions . . .

Graphics are neat and the (horny) gelatinous creature was fun.

I'd probably give him a go . . .
