At first I thought this would become something like TNG S2E12 "The Royal". But it soon become apparent that it might turn out more like TNG S2E2 "Where Silence Has Lease", but with The Orville's Nagilum not willed to sacrifice its laboratory rats. And in the end we got a touch of VOY S2E18 "Death Wish". And it did not feel artificial or forced. Plus it was very well-paced for the full 60 minutes. That is how you do full hour episodes!

An amazing episode and a return to form for the show!
