Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe house of Lt. Kitan's parents is the same filming location as the parental house of Johnny Rico from the movie Starship Troopers (1997). Incidentally, both sets of parents disagree with their child's choice to join the galactic fleet.
- GoofsAt the very beginning of the episode, Dr. Finn informs Alara that her muscle mass has deteriorated by 20%, to which Alara reacts with shock. That would be a massive drop in her ability to function. She should have noticed such a large drop in muscle mass (or the writers should have picked a smaller, more believable percentage of deterioration).
- Quotes
Lt. Alara Kitan: Open your stupid ears and listen: All I ever needed to hear from you was "You can do it". That's all. Just once. And-and maybe it would have been a lie, but I needed that, dad. I really needed it. And you know who said it to me instead? Captain Mercer, Commander Grayson, and everyone on the Orville. But not my own father.

Featured review
This was a masterpiece
The Orville team has really outdone themselves with this episode. I don't think it's possible for me to overstate my adoration of this episode. Can I firstly say how heart wrenching it was to watch Robert Picardo's character, what an actor. The ending scene to this episode must also be mentioned also as it was a perfect send off which allowed us to fully come to terms with the gravity of the moment. The cinematography was top notch a picturesque and awe inspiring, Alara's homeworld was so vividly created you almost felt like you were there. My favourite aspect of the episode was the scoring by Joel McNeely, it was fit for a movie and captured the tones throughout the episode. Welldone Seth and Co!
