Was Lt. Tyler's story arc in The Orville a deliberate reference to Star Trek: Discovery?
In The Orville, Lt. Janel Tyler is introduced as a new member of the ship. In 2x04 "Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes", it is revealed that
she is not a human, but is actually a disguised Krill who was implanted on the Orville to gather information, and has a past related to the actions of the main character
This seems to have a lot of similarity to Star Trek: Discovery and the storyline of Lt. Ash Tyler, in which by 1x11 "The Wolf Inside", it is revealed that
he is not a human, but is actually a disguised Klingon who was implanted on the Discovery to gather information, and has a past related to the actions of the main character
The fact that these two characters are both Lt. Tyler and that they have a virtually identical story arc suggests that this was more than coincidental.
Was Lt. Tyler's story arc in The Orville a deliberate reference to Star Trek: Discovery? And if so, was there anything about the rationale for the show doing this?
