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.
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.
Why are you toying with my emotions......
This was what made Star Trek great in it's day, the story within the story, and that they found a solution to a problem only to be too late or that problem taking a turn.
I must say I din't see it go dark when it did, and creepy as well. Please give us at least 7 seasons of this greatness.
2 Star Trek alumni, gorgeous visual
I'm happily surprised to see 2 Star Trek alumni, but the best thing of this ep is the filming and visual. Every frames of filming on Xelaya can be used as a desktop wallpaper, and the moment Alara riding "eevek" (similar to a unicorn), she looks like a Goddess.
This was a masterpiece
The Orville team has really outdone themselves with this episode. I don't think it's possible for me to overstate my adoration of this episode. Can I firstly say how heart wrenching it was to watch Robert Picardo's character, what an actor. The ending scene to this episode must also be mentioned also as it was a perfect send off which allowed us to fully come to terms with the gravity of the moment. The cinematography was top notch a picturesque and awe inspiring, Alara's homeworld was so vividly created you almost felt like you were there. My favourite aspect of the episode was the scoring by Joel McNeely, it was fit for a movie and captured the tones throughout the episode. Welldone Seth and Co!
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.
