    Why do sci-fi shows always

    Why no bio-suits the first time visiting a new place? Why? And why no quarantine when they got back to the ship? Since the Europeans first killed indigenous Americans with smallpox, meeting someone new has had often catastrophic results. This is dumb. For no reason. If you want a storyline, at least show them wearing the suit and have a breach, but lack of intelligence altogether is not good sci-fi.

    Better than what Star Trek is these days

    You can say whatever you like, but I think nobody can deny The Orville is better than Star Trek despite being a comedy show.

    This episode goes on as expected. Still no plot twists yet. I do not know why.

    I am optimistic for the following episodes.

    What happened to this show?

    What the heck happened to this show? It went from fun and hugely interesting to bland and cliche.

    Note to Seth: Dude no one cares about the Doctors relationships or even the doctor herself. She's a weak irritating character. Please stop focusing on her!

    The show has changed from a Star Trek:TNG style to Aliens. Such a shame.

    No to Anne Winter

    Average episode that suffers from Anne Winter's wooden acting. Good to see the new season and many of the changes but Winter's character is annoying and adds nothing to the show. Her hero moment Season 3 Episode 1 was poorly written but she delivered a less than average performance in Episode 2. Time to change characters.

    Bring back the comedy

    Slow turning from a awkward comedic drama (which i enjoyed) to just an awkward drama, which is becoming boring. If it keeps going this way, am sure people will slowly stop watching.

    • Trivia
      This episode bears noticeable similarities to the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Genesis (1994). Both episodes were scripted or co-scripted by Brannon Braga.
    • Goofs
      The Orville completely loses power, so the artificial gravity system should have stopped working as well, yet everyone walks around normally like gravity is present.
    • Quotes

      Admiral Halsey: And if this was horror film, I would say, Don't go into the house.
