Review of Primal Urges

The Orville: Primal Urges (2019)
Season 2, Episode 2
1/10
What the hell?
4 January 2019
The second episode in the season is another episode focused on Bortus. The first episode was about his bodily functions and this one is about his weird sexual desires. I don't even know what to say about this strange episode besides it was not good and almost unwatchable. While season 1 was praised as a return to real Star Trek, this season is turning out to be a showcase of MacFarlane's liberal side. Moclans being a genderless species is apparently the only way they can present two males kissing on screen. I don't care one way or the other but it's getting to an obnoxious level. While season 1 dealt with legitimate Star Trekesq topics, this season seems to be only about identity politics. Sad.
