I'm gonna admit... there were a few moments where I gasped out loud (warning: spoilers and thought vomit ahead, click at your own risk):
[Spoiler (click to open)]I was on the EDGE OF MY SEAT during Klyden's physical altercation with Kelly!!!! Honestly, during the season 3 trailer when you heard her dialogue "I'm going to pretend that didn't just happen", I made the assumption that she was talking to Ed or something. Wow. I got all mushy inside when Ed mentioned writing letters to Anaya 💕 Also, I was yelling "NOOOOO!" both when Claire seemed to suggest she wanted to give up her post as Union doctor and then leave the Orville! I was so happy when Isaac stepped in there. And then the other scene in the med bay, when Isaac physically and verbally stopped Klyden!!!! OMG that was awesome! I also adored Bortus' singing, seeing Tai on the piano again, and Topa taking the helm! I also loved the new admiral and I loved she gave Ed and Kelly a tongue-lashing! I really hope we see her again. I have mixed feelings about Clyden leaving. I guess we'll see what happens with that. This episode is definitely one of my favorites.
