Trivia
When the Kaylon Primary notes that democracy is "inefficient," Admiral Halsey counters by saying that "...the one thing you can say about democracy is that all other forms of government are even worse." This is a paraphrasing of Winston Churchill, who in 1947 said that "Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

Goofs
The shuttle that Admiral Perry uses to transport the device to the Krill bears the registry "ECV-197-1". This is the registry of one of the shuttles assigned to the Orville, which is seen later in the episode still aboard the Orville (shuttles are given the registry number of their parent ship with a numerical suffix to distinguish them). The model for the Orville's shuttle was reused without alteration to represent the admiral's craft.

Better Star Trek than Star Trek, better Star Wars than Star Wars, better Mass Effect than Mass Effect

This is an ultra-high quality sci fi movie that could have run in cinemas. 80 minutes full of plot development, character development, thrill, action and amazing effects. Roughly 20 minutes into this episode the writers already turned the universe as we knew it from the previous seasons upside down. And boy was the finale satisfying! The only sad thing is that Seth MacFarlane is clearly building for a possible series finale next week by wrapping up most plots and subplots while only foreshadowing instead of starting new ones. He seem to be unsure about a possible renewal for season 4, despite today's installmant making The Orville the best sci fi show in recent years.
