This is the orville we've come to expect
The first two episodes were quite the bore, and this episode is a definite breath of fresh air with its story telling. We got to see some crucial world building that this series needs with a episode not based around the now infamous maklins. Hopefully the series contains on this high and doesn't fall back to episode 1 and 2s bland story telling.
Moving
Seriously one of the best episodes so far. Movie quality special effects and a moving personal story dealing with physical and mental disabilities. It's nice to see an episode featuring a minor character. Anyone recognize Dr. Phlox from Star Trek Enterprise? Robert Picardo ( from Star Trek Voyager continues Orville's tradition of using former Star Trek Veterans both in front and behind the cameras.. Kudos to Seth McFarland for willing to get away from space battles to tell a more personal story about dealing with a disability and at the same time showing that you are still valuable for your talents. Some truly scary moments.
This is the best Star Trek episodes ever.
I don't know what is the budget for this episode but not even Discovery can beat those guys on the visual style from the show,and this episode is beter than all Star Fake Discovery episodes and the acting is soooooo stellar compared to the wooden acting from Discovery,and i was surprised to see two REAL STAR TREK and STARGATE STARS in a single episode.
True Science Fiction
Truly great sci-fi. Great storytelling, great characters, great special effects, bright. To All the naysayers I'm not sure what they want in sci-fi. Sci-fi isn't just people shooting each other all the time with high-tech weapons.
If you have a withdrawal of watching aliens and humans kill each other with high-tech weapons go ahead and watch the other 99% of Hollywood Sci-Fi Productions. I gave this episode 10 out of 10, because it's the Oroville it automatically gets a 9 out of 10.
God, I just can't,
I mean, look at these reviews. There's nothing like them. You know, it's insights like these that make me realize, God I'm trash. My family is trash.
Did you know
- TriviaThe house of Lt. Kitan's parents is the same filming location as the parental house of Johnny Rico from the movie Starship Troopers (1997). Incidentally, both sets of parents disagree with their child's choice to join the galactic fleet.
- GoofsAt the very beginning of the episode, Dr. Finn informs Alara that her muscle mass has deteriorated by 20%, to which Alara reacts with shock. That would be a massive drop in her ability to function. She should have noticed such a large drop in muscle mass (or the writers should have picked a smaller, more believable percentage of deterioration).
- Quotes
Lt. Gordon Malloy: Are you going to be okay?
Ildis Kitan: Alara took care of it.
Lt. Gordon Malloy: She always does.
