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!

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 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.

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.

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.
