Update: just watched this weeks episode. Thoughts: well played kylon, well played. This episode made me love issac and his family on board the Orville even more, warming my heart. And then plot twist!
Spoiler
ISSAC AND HIS KIND ARE GOSH DANG CREEPY! Mass graves and genocide stuff...and are now going to invade other planets
So yeah. I have a little less than a week to repair my heart so it can be shattered again next episode. Honestly, I cannot wait. Good episode, and kudos to the production teams and cast.
Love the show. Spoiler
I was deeply disappointed by Isaac though! Tell me it isn't so. :(
I knew I knew that song from somewhere!

i liked this episode. I enjoy the down to earth, slice of life episodes. They’re not as action packed as others, but a welcome break. And this episode really hit my heartstrings. It was just so cute! When Malloy said goodbye, I had that song from doki doki literature club stuck in my head. if I don’t know how to love you...I’ll leave you be. this episode was beautiful. Also, Bortus and klyden this episode...just love you guys, even if you are now addicted to cigarettes.
My one problem with this episode comes not from the plot. Plot is good. But we have the internet. Almost everything is recorded, and I think it’s survived to the Orville’s time. All the things they asked “what is it?” Could have been answered with a quick search through records.
But seriously. Is it just me, or does it seem like the Orville has two modes: action-adventure-heavy-topics-that-make-you-go-“hmmm”, or a slice of life gentle episode? There is no in between. Not that I’m complaining though.
