Wow! Moclans are even more brutal than the Klingons. To my knowledge, Klingons don't get divorce by sticking a dak'takh inside their partner's chest...
3:53 "What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire?' Well, I mean, only if they're Giliac. What else are you supposed to do?
I've heard about honor killing in some culture. This is kind of like that. I bet you'd be surprised to hear if your neighbor was involved in that ritual of honor killing.
I really like how Ed and Kelly kinda bond over this matter. They understand that marriage is hard...but dang...they still respect each other even more so after THAT WITNESS
The Moclan's Are incredible weapon designers and that is what got them in the Union.. All the Union saw was the ability to defend themselves with tremendous weapons but short sightedly didn't realize what they were they were bringing it to their own home until it was too late and we got the results at the end of the Season 3. I am not surprised at this at all and there was a precedent set also in star trek where they had the episode where those weapon designers kill themselves making weapons To provide the perfect defense and were themselves the victims of their own brilliance.
@@crem-crem4070 You're missing the point. Besides the fact that that was the line said here, Klyden was born female and was forcibly transitioned due to Moclan customs (just like Topa), but this was only revealed in a much later episode.
To be fair: I’m pretty sure their vocal cords only have anger, joy, and monotonous as tones. So they might’ve learned to have good phrasing as they speak
3:52 - 4:05 One piece of advice to you Captain Mercer: If you're sick and tired of various aspects of Moclan culture, wait until you have met with Captain Picard and how he has to deal with Worf and all the ritualistic shenanigans he brought from the Klingon homeworld 😉
Captain Mercer had it way worse sure the klingons might have been more violent as a whole but the Moclans Were brought into the Union way too quickly without any real knowledge of their culture and society. The Klingons were at least a known quantity to the federation. Poor Mercer spent every day wondering what exciting and horrifing facet of Moclan Culture was to come next. Will they bring a Flame Thrower to the kids birthday party because on Moclan the child needs to live through fire to become a full man.
For a while I didn’t mind the Moclans. Incredible stomachs, male race and fire power. Pros, cons however is where things get dicey. Especially when it comes to female births, divorces involving stabbing and the occasional being questioning about their culture all the time since it revolves around getting hurt. Seriously I’d rather be on a Klingon home world.
Back in the day, men and women used to have their spouse killed rather than go through the "shame" of a divorce. Doesn't seem too different. It's just, out in the open.
Ironically, Ed and Kelly are a divorce couple passing judgment on a couple from a different culture's marriage practices. Not saying they are not right, it is just irony.
Well, if my ex hadn't left first, that is how this would have gone for me. She did tell me that "It's until death do us part. I mean yours." I can't say "Poor Bortus." He got a divorce! He survived marriage. Poor bastard.
"what do they do for their birthdays, set their parents on fire?" this logic follows and i cant help but laugh also holy shit those drinks are ingenious for a toasting
@@WardNightstone Okay look I made this comment three years before the 3rd season came out sophist to say I an not a fan of Moclan culture as I was 3 years ago
This channel must not be officially affiliated with the Orville production company. I don't think the Orville production company would actually misspell the species name of one of their characters in the title and then 3 years later still not have fixed it.
Okay, youre on a Union Ship, you chose to come here, you chose to stay, you play by their rules. Moclans should not be shocked that murder on Union territory is illegal under any circumstance. Klyden should have stayed in the Brig and either exiled back to his planet or placed in prison. That's holding up the laws of your people
I’m not saying I disagree, but they do have a cultural value policy. And it might risk war to kick someone out for doing something of their culture, explanation available or not. I’m going to repeat: I’m not saying I disagree, but I am saying I see what made this the final decision.
The amount of times in the show that they seem utterly baffled by an element of culture from another species who allegedly is part of the union makes me think not everybody in the Union does their homework.
Apparently the Mocclans were fast tracked into the Union due to their weapons manufacturing practices. So the Union on the whole didn’t really do their homework aside from ooh weapons yay.
yeah it was on purpose. bortus still can’t get pass the fact that klyden had a sex change when he was a baby. then their kid had to go through that same sex change.
Wow! Moclans are even more brutal than the Klingons. To my knowledge, Klingons don't get divorce by sticking a dak'takh inside their partner's chest...
At least the Klingon's only backhand and spit on your face a little
@@ScottyDont1945 Ah yes the episode with quark and Grilka was great
Even the Mandalorian in SW aren't that extreme. At most they might end the divorce with a Mirsh'mure'cya (head butt usually in armor AKA Keldabe Kiss)

I'm pretty sure that quite a few Klingon divorces end in a stabbing to a chest.

I like how they call it "the sexual event".

It's like Sheldon Cooper calling it "coitus"...

They're in space. I think the bulkheads will be thick enough.
Whys that?

(Edit: and now that I think about it, so she doesn’t hear them engage in the sexual event)
@AstraKiro27well her father just got stabbed by her other father
@@r.c.auclair2042 no they’re not
Well the vows did say "till death do you part" they didn't say whose death though
and they didn't say natural death
"Day drink?" "DAY DRINK."
I don't recommend the day drink as a matter of routine, but there are times it definitely helps.
That was a pretty day drink
3:53 "What do they do when it's someone's birthday, light the parents on fire?'
Well, I mean, only if they're Giliac. What else are you supposed to do?
Did the union not do any research before hiring a Moclan, they seem shocked by their culture.
It's a cultural stance. The union most know as a whole, but the members of the Orville are understandable not that knowledge
I guess not!🤷
You could say the same thing of Muslims coming to Western countries.
I've heard about honor killing in some culture. This is kind of like that. I bet you'd be surprised to hear if your neighbor was involved in that ritual of honor killing.
@Quentin Lennox race has nothing to do with this it's cultural issue learn the difference
This is how I do when I need to divorce my wife/husband in skyrim. But without a dagger I use a battle axe.

This show is so gorgeous. That opening shot with the star surface put a lump in my throat for some reason. Thank God for Seth MacFarlane.

My favorite thing about Moclans is how aggressive they sound but how loving the intent of their words are. XD

i never realized the foreshadowing here until season three dropped; that's brilliant
What foreshadowing
@@GameLover45408 the part where Bortus referred to Klyden as “She” hinting or foreshadowing the reveal that Klyden is indeed born female turned male.
Klyden admitted it when Topa was a baby to him.
@@apolloknight9521 But it isn't, it's just his strained voice.
"I did not realize SHE was this unhappy."
...You heard it too, right?
So did I!
Yeah
Clearly says he.
@@AutumnWoodham Get your hearing checked.
@@Bacxaber Get yours checked, it's clearly just an artifact of a strained voice.
2:58 That happens on Earth too but it's usually called "true crime."
"I did not realize she was this unhappy" oh they actually misspoke
Klyden was born female so technically.
For a while I didn’t mind the Moclans. Incredible stomachs, male race and fire power. Pros, cons however is where things get dicey. Especially when it comes to female births, divorces involving stabbing and the occasional being questioning about their culture all the time since it revolves around getting hurt. Seriously I’d rather be on a Klingon home world.
No lawyers, just clean and simple.
What do they do on the birthdays, light there parents on fire? 🤣🤣🤣
TheDarkarrow7 considering everything else, probably
I think so yes
Probably
They handled the mental gymnastics of dealing with that "divorce" just the way I might have.
Back in the day, men and women used to have their spouse killed rather than go through the "shame" of a divorce.
Doesn't seem too different. It's just, out in the open.
There’s a reason a lot of men died of stomach flu and mysterious illnesses before No fault divorce. The women were killing their husbands.
It's interesting because I can imagine an alien species possibly doing this
For a 60 year old woman, Dr Finn has “got it goin’ on”! 😃👍🏻
So did Cassidy Yates in another franchise. Both Finn and Yates seem to love the D.

Is dr Finn 60? The charter?
well you have to remember something, she was married to The Sisco.
I want one of what Ed and Kelly are drinking.
Ironically, Ed and Kelly are a divorce couple passing judgment on a couple from a different culture's marriage practices. Not saying they are not right, it is just irony.

It’s gorgeous
Well, you can't have the drink but you can have the glasses. They are Norlan Whiskey Glasses.
Well, if my ex hadn't left first, that is how this would have gone for me.

I can't say "Poor Bortus." He got a divorce!
He survived marriage. Poor bastard.
“There is a limit to how far I’ll go to accommodate cultural diversity among my officers and YOU have just reached it!”
proving again that "please" is the magic word
"what do they do for their birthdays, set their parents on fire?"

also holy shit those drinks are ingenious for a toasting
I kinda wonder if it tastes like a storm
Some poor programmer spent hours coding up a 5 second toast. I don't know if I would be proud or upset.
The doctor was on Deep Space 9.
Kassidy Yates
That's right! Penny Johnson Jerald played Kasidy on DS9!
"Let us share the sexual event"
I don't see the difference to humans. People virtually do the same and it hurts for a time instead of a moment.
We write aliens as reflections of ourselves.

4 years on and it still says "Molcan"
Henry VIII could show the Moclan a thing or two about brutal divorce practices.
There's plenty of humans that choose this as their preferred method to end their marriages, or someone else's 🧐
Great. Kassidy Yates changed careers and became a doctor.
I hate to find out what Moclans do when they go through puberty.
I think I know but first do you see that city over there?
Misspelled "Moclan" in the title. ;)
Did anybody think Klyden stabbed him because he found out what he was doing in the simulator.
When he said to the captain, release him please, I would have asked him, what aren't you telling us?
Okay, youre on a Union Ship, you chose to come here, you chose to stay, you play by their rules. Moclans should not be shocked that murder on Union territory is illegal under any circumstance.

He's just a civilian.
Bit of a typo error there, think it should be MOCLAN not Molcan....Still like the video though.

When they’re done with their cups and plates do they put it back in the matter synthesizer?
been wondering that myself
I'm glad klydan left bortus deserves so much better and I'm glad toppa got her birth gender back she's a wonderful girl

Mistakes happen brother, I promise you will live on.
Gotta be ironic that the commander who cheated on the capitan is the one to critisize Moclan divorce

Moclan divorce is really final. Can't just walk away with half everyone's stuff can they?
Sounds amazing. I vote we adopt Moclan culture here on Earth 🤭

So if someone cheats, and decides they would rather be with the other person, they can still end the marriage this way? That seems odd.
They live next door to me for a while . I believe they should have dated longer before they made the big lunge into matrimony
Damn I want that Xelayan drink
3:54 isn't the birthday the piss event? 😂
