Chidi misspelling Plato as Palto on the dry erase board after not sleeping. I loved tha small, very realistic on no sleep, gag. 

Greatest sequence of dramatic scenes on TV, beginning with the confrontation in the garage.

And for the final time.

“Kevin. I won’t be joining you at the opera. The tickets are under my name; “H... O... L...”

I know it was a small moment in the episode, but the “Jake tried to smash the two-way mirror with the chair only to bounce back in his face gag” was not only hilarious, but made me remember the other great gag of the interrogation room, where Boyle tries to smash a plate only for it to bounce up and nail him in the…

I think I may be reading too much into it, or it could be just a coincidence. At any rate, It occurred to me that Elizabeth’s chain-smoking habit may be a little bit of symbolic foreshadowing. I was a teenager (about Paige’s age) and a smoker at the time this show is now taking place. And this is the time period when…

I’m increasingly convinced this whole Kinja thing is a government funded psychological experiment.

Great Job, Internets are barely around

Wait, what the hell happened to that pot brownie? It was introduced, brought up again and then played zero role in helping them escape. Why put so much emphasis on it only to drop the plot line entirely? Bad edit or sloppy storytelling?

Every joke in a MacFarlane thing is an easy first draft joke. That’s why its all so terrible and why he’s able to make so many things.

Even better: she receives a commendation for rescuing the captain, first officer and some random alien kid, and leaving hundreds of sentient beings in captivity. So, what, the Orville just doesn’t care about all the others who were kidnapped and are being held prisoner on that planet? Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Sisko —…
