The Orville 1.10

Firestorm

The Orville passes through some astro-turbulence. Engineering is badly hit and a crew member gets caught under a piece of the wall that comes down on him. Alara rushes to Engineering to try and help when no one else can lift the debris under the trapped crew member. She freezes and more stuff falls on him and he dies. Alara blames herself.

Alara talks to Captain Mercer and tries to resign. He won't accept her resignation. Things start to get a little strange after that. She sees a clown, big spiders, a giant alien, Dr. Finn restrains Alara and tries to operate on her. 

Thoughts

I'm not sure where to go from there with my description. I don't want to give away the ending but it was pretty clear to me, before it was revealed, that things weren't exactly as they seemed. It was all just a little too crazy to be believed. 

There were some good laughs in this episode. I loved the scene where Alara talks to her parents. There were also some really weird, disturbing moments. It was a good mix but there is something a little off about the reveal at the end.
