After two unoriginal above average episodes we seem to be back with the poor humourless morality plays. The problem with losing the comedy aspects is this show just turns into a poor mans version of the next next generation. The problem there being we already have 169 episodes of that with 100's more of it's clones. This one appears to be a riff of a DS9 episode entitled The Maquis where an old friend of Siskos uses subterfuge to achieve an aim, making Sisko question his reality. Hoping the humour makes a return shortly as it's what made The Orville original and endearing in the first place.
