Getting its rhythm back
We had been waiting for the return of The Orville for so long, but while the first 2 episodes were okay, they were missing something. The technical effects were there, but the heart, brains and soul had been a bit lacking. It had certainly been okay, but it just wasn't the show we looked forward to watching in the past.
With this episode, The Orville takes a giant leap forward. It was interesting, intelligent, and generally fun to watch. Almost like taking a ride on a roller coaster. One fun scenario after another. I think the initial self-consciousness of the characters returning is now gone, and they are free to just have fun with the roles more. There is a more comfortable chemistry onscreen, overall.
Just one quibble, I am glad that I did not read the title of the episode before watching. Sometimes, the less you know, going in, the better.
