This episode was undoubtedly my favorite so far. It pulled my heartstrings, and I don't normally like love stories and am not very emotional when I watch series in general. But this one came like a wrecking ball and made me feel deep empathy for the characters plight.
The Orville has from the beginning been about flawed people that do their best. It shows us a future that seems real. Human nature won't change, but maybe we can be better both to ourselves and others in the future. This episode takes this filosify and cranks it up to 11. addiction, curiosity, humor, concern, joy, love, and bone-deep heartbreak are all crammed into less than one hour, and nothing feels rushed or forced.
A real gem.
