Sorry for the earlier thread hijack. I did say I was going to post at the other Trek threads after (though there's no DS9 thread so I went with the classic and next gen thread).
Anyhow, since there was a top five Treks listed there (two Next Gen and three DS9s!) and I never did say what I thought of Orville s3 after staying up late nights just to binge it (darn those movie long eps!), I figure I'd ask and list my own top 5 Orville eps.
1. Identify 1 and 2. I loved the final battle, with the last minute save arrival.
2. Domino. While I hate Charly and her exclusive 4D abilities (for a human? With no augmentations?! Wha?!) the ep was just amazing. Love the alliance of evil at the start and the Kaylons' response. My jaw dropped the first time the weapon was used.
3. Lasting Impression and Twice in a Lifetime. Could they be taken together? Bonus for Bortus and Kylden smoking and Isaac doing the trope of awkward robot pretending to be human on earth, like the bar.
4. Primal Urges. Hahahahhaha!!!! It's so candid! And relatable! Hahahaha!
5. Probably Gently Falling Rain. Lots of surprised and Teleya eps like Krill and Fishes were always cool cuz she's a great character and the actress was compelling.
I'm torn for the fifth cuz there's so many cool one shot scifi eps. The horror Shadow Realms ep was great. Mad Idolatry was great. All the World is Birthday Cake had flaws but was also great. Plus there's the Isaac eps like Happy Refrain, From Unknown Graves (showing kids get murdered! Whoa!).
I wasn't into Electric Sheep cuz no way Isaac would kill himself 'to improve the crew'. Duh, removing himself from the crew would probably doom the crew since Isaac usually saves the day in... 1 out of 5 situations? 6? Wow. It's cool that heroism is distributed among the cast, not just on the shoulders of the usually superior robot Deus ex machina.
