Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe final appearance of Halston Sage's false eyebrows. Alara was originally intended to not have eyebrows and appeared without them in Old Wounds (2017). As a result, Sage shaved her own eyebrows for the role. After the pilot was filmed, it was decided that the no-eyebrows look wasn't working and Sage had to wear false eyebrows for the remainder of the season. As season 2 did not film for nearly a year after season 1, her eyebrows had time to grow back. However, this episode was produced during the first season and was held back for airing as part of season 2, so Sage is still wearing false eyebrows here.
- GoofsIt is shown that the planet's oceans boil away very fast. In reality when a planet would be this close to a star the oceans would be long gone and the surface of the planet would have become one lava ocean.

Featured review
Tackles current social and cultural themes like Star Trek back in the day
It's not necessary for a Sci-Fi series to use technobabble or to fire phasers in each and every episode. And the mash of sitcom, drama, action and satire might still be confusing to some critics.
The Orville writers are very clever not to get trapped in the hype, but to keep doing what they're good at. This this gives a lot of freedom to produce original tv entertainment. The final scene combining comedy and suspense is hilliarious, nobody could do something this otherwise.
And it enables wrapping themes what couldn't be addressed in maintreasm global tv. Which is unfortunate, because the fact that our primal urges don't combine with modern technology will become increasingly problematic. Refer to "Black Mirror" for further details.
I don't want to use spoilers, but where is you-know-what illness covered elsewhere, and some might even be offended by Bortus' gender and relationship. Just like the first interracial kiss by Captain Kirk back in the day - which proves The Oriville is today's Star Trek.
