Storyline

After the Orville confronts a Krill spaceship attacking a federated plant colony and captures a shuttle, admiral Ozawa orders to use it with an anatomic disguise devise to go undercover aboard the major ship. Captain Mercer and pilot Malloy must pretend to be sole survivors of a battle with humans, win Krill captain Haros's trust and get insight in the 'Krill Bible', the secret basis of their inflexible religion of Avis, which gives them a sense of divinely ordained superiority rendering peaceful coexistence with other species pointless. As if the suspicious ship 'chaplain' requesting a guard to the chapel weren't bad enough, the infiltrators discover a super-weapon aboard but get conscious issues about the Krill school children and their teacher to Ed's taste, Teleya.

Goofs

Gordon sets the light timer on the Krill ship to activate after ten minutes. Since it has been stated that the Krill have never had contact with humans or other Union species the chance that they would use minutes as part of their chronological system is close to impossible.

Quotes

[first lines]
Lt. Gordon Malloy: Okay, let's hear it. How did you dump him? Everyone wants to know.
Lt. Alara Kitan: There's nothing juicy to tell. I just told him that if he couldn't get comfortable with our differences, then there was no point dragging this out.
Lt. John LaMarr: And by "differences", you mean the fact that you could bench press him with one arm.
Lt. Alara Kitan: Apparently, having a girlfriend with ten times your physical strength makes a guy feel emasculated.

User Reviews

Great Ep

This ep has some great buddy-style adventure and fun gags as we watch Ed and Gordon flounder as spies. It also has a good dose of storytelling about the adversarial Krill race and some dramatic themes, without it being too much to take. The best one so far, in my opinion.
