@Kirwan is that S2 of The Orville you are talking?
About that awesome episode? Yes.
what episode is that? I'm only just getting into S2 (just watched Bortus porn episode). Need to make sure I get the missus paying attention when we get up to the awesome one.

Episode 8 (a two parter)

Ok, they didn’t shit all over The Cage, in fact they started the episode with the images from it. We got about six minutes of how good this show could be, with Pike revisiting his experiences there.
That worked well, and then we get to crying Spock is only the character we now know because of Micheal.
Yuck.
Seriously, if this show was based around Pike and this new guy playing Spock, they might have something. Once they fix his hair, and shave the beard, the guy will make a good Spock. He’s more manly than JJ Spock.
It’s also super amusing how much they are trying to add Orville-like humour into the show.
The visuals of the show keep me watching, seriously every penny is up on screen.

He's given the show the two best moments of the season. His scene with the girl from the pilot on Talos IV and the end scene of episode 2.
Has the Kirk-ish smirk down pat, and is the closest thing the show has to the old Trek notion of working together to solve problems.
If they made a prequel show with him and even the new Spock on the Enterprise it would be good IMO. Flush the Discovery down the toilet.

Rebecca Romijn (as Pike's 1st officer) was only on-screen for about 2 minutes. You've gotta wonder how much money they wasted on her.
An expensive burger.
Seriously, they have hidden a much better show with Pike, number one and Spock in the cast. Even the Enterprise looked fantastic, and the retro uniforms looked ace.
It made everything they were doing look second best.

@Kirwan Did you watch the Orville season finale?
Some nice Star Wars bits.
Yes, I really enjoyed it. Have a bad feeling (see what I did there..) that was a series finale as opposed to a season finale.
Hope I’m wrong.
They did the time travel thing pretty well, and improved the character depth at the same time. Just so well written.
And I didn’t realise they were using models for the ships and then adding CGI glitz. Explains why it looks so good.
