    Nope, never watched the Orville. But variations of this particular quote from MacBeth occasionally pop up in entertainment media.

    “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.”

      Yeah, I noticed before I watched and then told my fellow trekkie friends I thought it would be time travel. My reasoning was the only episode of any Trek I could remember that contained the words “yesterday” or “tomorrow” and didn’t involve time travel was “Return to Tomorrow.” Called it.

      Btw, it was a good episode of The Orville. :)
