Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMercer and Pria discuss the story of Giles Corey as depicted at a museum in Salem, MA. Giles was accused of witchcraft in 1692 and tortured by being pressed under rocks. The story they told of him asking for "more weight" is accurate.
- GoofsWhen The Orville pulls the shuttle in with the tractor beam, there is still a stream of chunks from the asteroid moving away from the sun behind it. If the sun's gravity was pulling the asteroid down towards the sun, the chunks would also be pulled down. However, the tractor beam could easily be affecting the chunks as well as the shuttlecraft.
- Quotes
Capt. Ed Mercer: You know what the most depressing part about this is? I allowed myself to care about you, and you used me. And despite all of your claims that you still care about me, not once have you even said, "I'm sorry".
Pria Lavesque: It's a good rule in life never to apologize. The right kind of people never want apologies, and the wrong kind take advantage of them.

Featured review
Run of the mill
I feel like this is the case with pretty much all of the episodes of The Orville that I've seen so far: they're not particularly great, they have a pretty slow pace, and are barely entertaining enough to last for 40 minutes, but then they are saved by a pretty good ending. I can't help but think that the Orville would be a lot better if each episode were 20 minutes long, because from the beginning of each episode until around the 40 minute mark, they're not very fun to watch or very intriguing, and then the ending is either smart enough or impactful enough to make you say you sort of liked it.
I've enjoyed the first few episodes of the Orville, especially About a Girl, but they almost all seem to lack any sort of real drama, intrigue, or tension, and they're not funny enough to make you really want to watch the next episode. I will keep watching, because I think that this show has potential, but so far it hasn't gotten very good.
