The Orville s3e5 "A Tale of Two Topas"
I have respect for how the Orville turned both Isaac and Gordon around from the most annoying characters on the show to some of the best.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

It all boils down to that sandwich.
Gordon still feels like a weak link to me, he is on the show because he’s MacFarlane’s friend, after all.
But Gordon certainly has some good content. The whole leg gag is still amazing to me. And “This family is stronger than time.” still hurts even though they went back to the 21st century girl well two times too many.
It's just a bummer that Alara actor Halston Sage couldn't be there for much of season 3.
Don’t date the boss, don’t copy Star Trek THAT closely!
I honestly forgot about that. It's been a while since I've watched Orville, but remembering that, I agree.
i love Isaac so much. I just got done with s3e8 I think it was and
Tap for spoiler
i was so sad that Isaac can't feel emotions for longer than a few minutes. its not fair, that was so cute and I want more of it. ugh.
They made some great choices for Isaac's journey.
Not to mention, that's the Dolly episode!
Dolly was amazing, I was surprised that she found the time to come on the show!
She found out an entire alien race elevated her to the status of godhood as a feminist icon. How could she refuse? :P
To this day, male and female Moclans brawling in the street to the tune of 9 to 5 is one of the biggest laughs I’ve ever gotten out of science fiction.
