It's definitely in the running for my favorite episode of the series thus far. The A and B plots worked well together and the humor wasn't awkwardly thrown in. Also, getting back your kidnapped crewmembers from an alien society is about as Trek as it gets.Originally Posted by Crystalline Entity

I rewatched S1 ep1 and 2, apparently favreau was listed there as well, so not a new development

The backpack Mercer got lumbered with in S02E04 looked surprisingly similar to a MACO backpack from Enterprise Season 3
Latest episode was damn good

Holy shit, that was a genuinely funny and fascinating episode.
The humor was subtle and spontaneous, just some recycled cliche's we would expect from the show.
Mustache part was funny and silly, and the table part had me laughing hard.

Same, slightly tired drunk me did full on burst out laughter at the table

Based
Really damn good. Every scene in this episode was a joy. It's perhaps not the most Star Trek the show has ever been, but no other episode has executed so consistently from start to end. This is going to make it into top episodes lists for sure.

Enjoying seeing the jokes decline, and the TRek-esque "moral questions" plots continue to rise.
Holy shit this latest episode! Not gonna give a wiff of spoilers but dayum, TNG is back (crossed with hints of other great episodes)

I'm going to be pissed if it all was some variation of "It was all a simulation to see what happens".
"Holy shit" was my first thought as well. Two-parters in sci-fi shows are always so much fun, and The Orville is living up to this tradition.

The Orville is giving me my weekly sci-fi fix, since STD is so fucking dumb atm."Holy shit" was my first thought as well. Two-parters in sci-fi shows are always so much fun, and The Orville is living up to this tradition.
And The Orville sticks the landing on the two parter. That was a damn-good follow up to part 1; I don't know if I could have asked for anything more.

Holy crap agreed, what an ending to the 2 parter. This sort of show shouldn't make me laugh, be apprehensive and emotional but it does. Music was on point again as well. As well as the action.
