"One thing you won't see on The Orville is a transporter, Star Trek's iconic means of teleportation. According to Bormanis, the writers on the original Star Trek invented the transporter because they didn't have the special effects budget to show shuttle craft landing on an alien world every week—plus it kept the narrative pace humming along.

"And I always wondered why there were fat people in the future, when you could program the transporter to leave 25 pounds of excess belly fat on the pad when you beam somewhere." (A futuristic form of liposuction should be possible, since teleportation would require the ability to take someone apart and reassemble them at the atomic level.)"
