Message: <blockquote data-quote="CapnZapp" data-source="post: 7274651" data-attributes="member: 12731">The way 1) noone bothers to check up on alien powers beforehand is definitely turning into a theme (whether the Union is arrogant or the Orville crew is just lazy doesn't matter - I like it, and it does make it easier to tell stories) 2) nobody expects daarulio to take any responsibility for his own powers 3) amoeba sex is apparently much less traumatic / more common in The Union (and don't say you didn't know it was coming, given how Yaphet has essentially not been shown doing anything except court the good Doctor) 3b) liked how the "oh, I stepped in the cat puke puddle" was used several times before, and thus served to mask the pheromone transferral plot point 4) people are very fast to dress post-coitus (oh what a missed opportunity to allow Kelly time to wash away the blue stains this time) 5) now we know Yaphit's occupation, and it makes a lot of sense he's a tube engineer 6) On a less sordid show, none of this would never be mentioned again - luckily The Orville is not a less sordid show 7) even though I spotted the end solution a mile away, the point of the ep wasn't the drama and excitement, so that didn't bother me one bit. In fact, the show itself arguably understood this, pushing "Daarulio fixes everything" off-screen 8) please continue with the "Alara steps into awkward cannot-be-unseen scenes theme" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
