- TriviaThe quote recited by Doctor Finn, which also serves as the title of this episode, is from "Nature", an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
- GoofsWhen the Orville first encountered the alien ship, Isaac reported that their sensors were not able to penetrate its hull. Later, when the Orville's shuttle docked with the alien ship, Isaac, using the Orville's sensors, determined that there was a breathable atmosphere on the other side of the airlock. The airlock would not be necessarily as thick as the hull and could permit this scan.

Featured review
Sort of Old Fashioned
People keep acting as though this is Star Trek. While there are similarities in the mission and the crew, it really is its own show. And that isn't always good. Nevertheless, this episode was a good deal of fun. It reprises a place where the denizens are in an artificial environment, being ruled by a religious zealot. Very common theme for the original ST. The people have bought into this guy and he can maneuver them into killing "transgressors" (those that disagree with him). Still, this is pretty good. Two things are missing from this show. No transporter. And, obviously, no prime directive.
