I disagree. They could have matched it, as in that DS9 episode; they didn’t. I look at TOS and SNW and it’s obviously not the same; an alternate timeline is the most convenient explanation.
I was amused by that; there aren’t much “wilds” in Connecticut. It’s very densely populated and I doubt anyone could hide without coming across people for very long.
And I assume that we were seeing the actor who plays Isaac
I assume they went with an updated look to appeal to a younger modern audience but, they didn’t have to be so drastic.
I especially dislike all the unnecessary light sources on the bridge. A legacy of the Jar Jar Abrams’s love of lens flare.
You may disagree, but be aware that this is a choice you are making, to disagree. It’s not a required conclusion.
Yes, it was. We also saw him in some of the episodes where Issac and the doctor were dating - he used the holodeck to appear human for some of their dates.
I also find it weird that he has Issac’s physical mannerisms even when appearing “human”. I can accept them from a robot, but seeing his as human, but acting like that, really emphasises the oddness around him “acting human”. Which of course is the point, but it still weirds me out 
It’s possible that the original sets are gone now, but we’re still around when the made DS9. I mean, the original series WAS filmed more than 50 years ago.
He reminded me of Sam on Atypical, or perhaps Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory.
It’d be really fun if the sandwich materialized 3 months later in empty space. 
“Oh no, not again!”
Yeah, Seth is from Connecticut, so that has to be a joke. I doubt you can get more than a quarter mile from a paved road anywhere in the state. I’m pretty sure that Gordon had a reputation in the nearest town as “the weird guy who lives in the old Braithwaite cabin”.
I don’t disagree, but there are some wooded areas in the state.
I’ve been zooming around a bit on google maps, and even in the NW corner, which is the least developed part of the state (and near where MacFarlane is from), if you zoom enough there really are roads and small villages everywhere.
So he had his own Walden Pond!
Ha - “Walden” is one of the biggest snow jobs in American literature. It makes “A Million Little Pieces” look like an encyclopedia. Thoreau wouldn’t have lasted 2 days in an actual wilderness.
It’s probably an in-joke, but what would Gordon, a product of a 25th century post-scarcity society, consider to be “the wilderness?” Sure, he’s probably had some kind of survival training or the odd away mission gone wrong. And Kelly did complain about the mess we left our descendants to clean up; maybe the closest thing to “wild areas” left on 25th century Earth are basically just large artificially managed and closely monitored parks.
Maybe it will save the day–are Krill allergic to bread or anything? Can a crumb take out a Kaylon if it gets in the right place? Will just its appearance scare someone/something away?
Well, jeez, everything in fandom is a choice unless someone’s holding a phaser to your head.
No, I’ve read about that episode, and they built new sets, taking great pains to match the originals. They did something similar with an Enterprise Bridge segment for the TNG episode with Scotty’s return.
Why the extended discussion of what’s going on in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in the thread dedicated to The Orville?
Hi. Welcome to the Straight Dope! We go on tangents here! 
I dunno. I saw a lot of green in the cities at the end of A Tale of Two Topas.
