I’ve heard him introduce himself in a video, pronouncing his name as you would a hair comb.

I have a 4 meg Pi 4b running Pi-hole and Mini-DLNA. It’s rather under-utilized for those tasks, but it serves them quite well.
“Aping” is kind of a pejorative way to describe what The Orville does. If they were “aping” TNG, they’d be imitating it in a very derivative manner. It’s more of an homage to TNG, but in a comedy format with original ideas and character dynamics.
The Orville’s first season is no worse than TNGs. There were some truly awful first season episodes of TNG. Code of Honor is a good example of an awful episode.
I don’t think better or worse comparisons are very meaningful. They’re both good shows. TNG has many of my favorite Trek stories and characters. I think it says a lot that it inspired so much of what The Orville does.
The lyrics are generally fitting to the theme of the show. The Rod Stewart performance didn’t work for me then, later or now.
This article added quite a bit to the discussion. For one, U2’s beautiful day was also considered, as was a semi-operatic song performed by Russell Watson. It’s not simply a rehash of the hate it/love arguments. I encourage you to read it.

Fundamental is the term used to describe concepts like points in geometry. This seems like an analogous case, so I suggest it for your use here.
That doesn’t mean he has to be demoted. He could take a leave of absence from Star Fleet to deal with his PTSD, during which time Mark Piper becomes the Enterprise’s CMO. Later Piper is replaced by McCoy. When M’Benga gets his mind right, he returns, but by this time Kirk’s in command and likes his command staff as they are, but offers M’Benga a post as general physician.
But if you insist on the demotion idea, he’s already done plenty to warrant it.
Keeping his daughter in the sickbay transporter buffer was a dubious practice, made suspect by him keeping it secret from command. His actions in Under the Cloak of War could get him a court martial, if they came to light.
My head canon is that there’s another stage to the Gorn lifecycle that we haven’t yet seen on SNW. It might be that with full maturity, the Gorn gain significant intelligence and brute strength relative to earlier stages, but lose speed and agility.
Did anyone else notice Nyota’s green hoop earrings? These seemed to me a deliberate callback to those worn by Nichelle Nichols in various TOS episodes.
TOS: The Conscience of the King. The script feels like a stage play. There are no space battles or other big set pieces. It’s just people talking in different settings but it’s a gripping drama.
You should hedge this advise. It may not be illegal where you are, but it certainly is here in the U.SA. if you’re downloading “unsanctioned copyrighted material.”
A/B story format would work. Writers could alternate weeks between the bridge crew and department heads and the “lower decks” crew most likely to pull landing party or other hazardous duty.
Some weeks, the A story is a high stakes drama involving the bridge crew, perhaps involving some diplomatic negotiation such as we saw in the TOS episode “Journey to Babel.” Meanwhile, the lower decks crew will grapple with lower stakes problems such as a crew member overcoming agoraphobia in order to perform an EVA mission, or fixing some critical ship’s system vital to the A story.
Other weeks, the A story would focus on lower deckers, giving them a high stakes problem to resolve like a landing party having to evacuate reluctant colonists, with occasional goofy stories like the shift rivalry stories seen on ST: TLD. In those weeks, the bridge crew would enjoy a breather with lower stakes stories about ship’s culture and interpersonal drama.
Depends on your budget and use case. Jellyfin’s “Hardware Selection” documentation has you covered as to general specs, so maybe consider them a shopping list.
Briefly, a mini PC with the following will work for a “normal server:”
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560, Intel Core i3-7100 or newer Pentium or better
RAM: 8GB or more
Storage: 60GB SSD storage for Jellyfin files and transcoding cache.
Graphics: Intel HD 6xx (7th gen integrated graphics) or newer, Nvidia GTX 16 / RTX 20 series or newer (excluding GTX 1650). Intel is recommended over Nvidia. AMD and Apple Silicon are not recommended.
If you don’t need transcoding, or can use low power transcoding, Intel 12th gen or newer Atom CPUs with integrated graphics will serve.

I’ve run Jellyfin on a R Pi 4 but experienced glitches on playback with a Roku with media that required transcoding. It wasn’t awful, but knowing myself, I knew it’d get old quickly so I went back to MiniDLNA which works a treat when playing back on a mini PC with VLC or Kodi.
