From Unknown Graves

Watching S3 of the Orville at the same time as Strange New Worlds is a slightly eerie experience. Especially when episodes like this crash into you. The story is so beautifully crafted, the writing so good, and it's a prisoner to nobody at all (unlike Star Trek). The humour and the heart are all there and I loved it.

This was an interpersonal drama episode, fairly low on the sci-fi and even a "Claire's relationships" episode in part, but somehow they made it work. The A-story absolutely knocks it out of the park - it's a little predictable, but that doesn't stop it from still hitting the high notes. The B-story is really just transparent filler, a bit trite and cliche, but it didn't serve enough of a purpose to matter and Bortus' one line made me bark laughing.

Season 3 looked like it was going to be a real clunker at first, but it's really turned around in the last couple of episodes. Hoping it stays this way for the rest of the season.

Yeah, lot of people realized that Orville is pretty much Star Trek like. In best way. And I realized something in this episode - Keylons - similar to Cylons in Battlestar Galactica - probably not just coincidence. And this episode dealt in big part with AI, interaction with humans, in really great storytelling.

I enjoyed it thoroughly, in over 70 minutes length. Some complain that was predictable - yes, I expected that final getting along since first episode of this season - and that was good for my heart :-)

Best what some movie/TV show can do - humor, very hard being interaction issues, about need for love ...

Seth, you are genius.

I'm going to keep this one spoiler free but the episode gives us the viewer, and even some of the cast some insight as to why Kalons are are they way they are. In an truly masterful episode we are taken on a journey through the past and integrating it with the present. This show MUST have a Season 4 and even more beyond that!

Great character building, great world building with the klon background, great sub-plots. What can I say, it's another great episode. SOOOO GOOD!!

This is my favorite show now and I really look forward to each new episode. I really hope we get more seasons!

10/10.
