[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8717679, member: 5889"] Yay Alara! Cool to see her make a cameo, though I think Keyali has fit in very well now a days, I do miss Alara on occasion. A solid episode. The comedy was spot on, and I think showcased the balance the Orville found in the last few seasons. In season 1, it was too much "fart joke" style, very crude, and very "forced". Whereas I think the humor later on was more in the mindset of "crewmates being comfortable and relaxed with each other". These are people that work together and live together, and so you pull down some social barriers naturally in that kind of setting which creates natural humor and comedy, and I think that is where Orville found a really nice pocket. The "Prime Directive" commentary was a solid one, if completely predictable. Did anyone think L'sea wasn't going to try and steal technology? Still it's a nice play having one of the "poor people" giving commentary on the prime directive, no matter how justified it seems to the Union....it will never seem fair to those having to live through it. But the simulator run at the end did a great job showing just how bad it can go when you mess it up, and I think sold the point home very well. All in all it was a nice humorous wrapup to a very series and heavy season. May the 4th (season) be with them! [/QUOTE]
