              That actor was amazing, including in his human-imitation moments and his painfully brief emotional experience. The "make Claire break up with him" slob attempt was one of the funniest moments of the show.

                    The Orville gets a lot of mileage out of the Union's medical science being even more advanced than the Federation's. Like the early episode where Isaac cut Gordon's leg off as part of a prank war and the easy answer was to just grow him a new one which took a day or two.
