I didn't really notice until I went back and looked as some older episodes but the improvement in quality in everything from the CGI, to Isaac's costume right down to the uniform badges is startling. Shame all that money has gone to waste since they're making any more after this season.
Hardy har har.
I get that's a rhetorical question, but just to clarify, I'm not sure how much time Dr. Finn spends on the internet, but she spent at least some time in medical school and is trained in psychiatry; a discipline in which it is well understood that some psychiatric and psychological problems don't have practical and/or feasible solutions.
Regardless, I take your point and your comment did make laugh.
I kind of expected the thing between Finn and the Admiral to be a lot worse than actually depicted, particularly because of the power imbalance. Maybe it's still implied, but they don't really go there.
The episode itself is another interesting mishmash of TNG episodes, although sending off all your important people on an away mission is always asking for trouble. lol

Well that was a pretty interesting episode. A mixture of Alien, the Fly and a little Borg. I could see why the Krill would think they were demons. That transformation scene was rather horrific. Cronenberg would be proud.
I was reminded a little of TNG Genesis, except the crewmembers were only being "evolved" into a single species. The dark ship, the few characters we saw being hunted.
This one too.
A fairly creepy episode that, like SNW for this week, didn't have a happy TOS/TNG ending. I wonder how many crew got lost?
I'd give it a 9 if there was a poll. A good Orville episode with a little bit of humor (reminds me of Vegas-no indications of intelligent life-wow, it really is Vegas).
I liked this one, but OMG they frustrated me. Zero decontamination upon returning to the ship? And then when the guy is transforming into an alien after contracting some kind of alien disease, Dr. Finn just chills with him and holds his hand. No cleansuit, so forcefield magic, no nothing.
Some seriously dodgy CG in the fight scenes, and a very 90's Trek-style obvious guy in an alien costume. Otherwise it was a fun hour that passed in a blink.

It is funny that they do have the suits, but just chose not to use them the first time around. lol
Another Trek guest star this episode

The aliens reminded me of the imps from Doom 3/That shitty Doom movie with The Rock.
It hasn't been officially cancelled yet.

Solid episode from what I was hearing, because I didn't watch about 45 minutes of it.
Beginning and end scenes were fantastic, though.
Also, I really like the softer title score.

Without spacesuits. And then when they bring the Admiral back, he's not placed under security or quarantine.
It is still a Trek homage. It's a nice nod to the TOS landing parties (captain, first officer/chief science officer, CMO, sometimes the chief engineer...).
Funny how they were going into a place called the Expanse that has weird shit inside it. Sounds familiar. 
When the creatures were chasing after LaMarr and Talla I couldn’t help but laugh. It was just so goofy. Talla fighting them had some dodgy CGI but it was pretty fun.

This episode felt like a redux of the Genesis script from TNG. I actually found it a little dull, and was more interested in the first half of the episode with trying to get the peace treaty permanent. Also, I really hope this season isn't entirely Claire Centric. We've had two Claire Centric episodes in a row and I was really hoping this series might address the events of the Season 2 finale. I know the Ed/Kelly stuff has been done to death, but it would have been nice if there were some "small" changes because of what Kelly did and how Claire had to clean it up.
Still trying to figure out why they call this season "New Horizons". There really isn't anything new about it.
