That’s definitely what I pulled from this episode. It’s possible that some ten years living with Harry Mudd turned her into someone exactly like her robot duplicate that Harry built specifically to yell at, but I think the more likely explanation is that she was hardly ever more firm or scolding than we saw her…

Yeah. The real novelty was to have a time loop episode that focused more on character development than plot development when resolving the problem.

I had always theorized that Stella wasn’t nearly as horrible as her android made her out to be. That was just Harry’s POV.

I hope it wins some award for best episode. Not a comment about the series in general, just that tonight’s was pretty beautiful.

This was clever, romantic, and fun. Very good pacing.

I agree. I think the Orville would be better if MacFarlane got some more writers on board and didn’t write everything himself. I don’t think he’s doing a bad job at all, but his sitcom/spoof tendencies don’t fly very well on a show as serious-minded as the Orville.

If it dropped the bad humor, it could probably tell some decent stories. But Seth MacFarlane needs to stop writing all the scripts himself.

At least in Star Trek, no one acted so incompetently and moronically as LaMarr. I actually cheered when the admiral said LaMarr would have to get himself out of his situation. If you’re going to be that stupid on a potentially dangerous world, you deserve what’s coming to you.

People keep on comparing it to TNG, personally, i find it more VGR the worst of the Treks and the Orville at its best still amounts to bad VGR.

How the hell is everyone on this show so STUPID? How does LaMarr not realize that humping a statue might be a bad way to avoid attracting attention? I know LaMarr is stupid, but he’s still a trained military officer!

Why the hell would Alara intentionally turn around to face the cashier when she knows she has an alien…
