The Orville: A Tale of Two Topas (2022)
Season 3, Episode 5
8/10
An acting class by Ms. Palicki
1 July 2022
The acting talent of Ms Palicki was never more apparent. Her face is beautiful and virtually every muscle of her body, not to mention her voice, is used to express her emotion. As always, I enjoyed her, Ms. Jerald and Mr. Jackson. The Isaac character will eventually win over even Ensign Burke. As with his protection of Dr. Finn's sons before, his protection of Topa was inspirational to watch. His honesty is funny and instructional at the same time. In a way, the episode was, I thought, a push back against current trends. Perhaps Bill Maher and Seth MacFarlane are both old school liberals.

Wrapping up, an added delight was the archeological story and adding an extra dimension to Ensign Burke. Since the civilization and the people are gone, I don't think it was colonial tomb raiding. The planet looked uninhabited. I hope that story line is picked up again.
