The Orville Episode 2 - Alara vs Television

I like "Command Performance" but not as much as I did the first time. It does a lot of things right, for sure - "woof," keeps the Krill in viewers minds... I'm not military, so I can't speak as to what having a green Lt. is like, nor as to how plausible it is that the aliens would be fooled by their own holography.

Longer comparison of Tasha Yar, Ro Laren and Kira Nerys can be found here. 

"Command Performance" leans heavily on Star Trek tropes, but makes good television with it and gives Halston Sage (Alara) great opportunities as one of the crew's most junior members.
