That episode was a big step backwards. Seeing the D7 battle cruiser was indeed cool, but other than that one moment, I have absolutely zero interest in the Klingon plot line on this show. From a story perspective, it's kinda boring, dumb, messy, and just...meh.
And I'm still not a big fan of the makeup and voices for these Klingons. You can tell they purposely tried to make them look slightly more traditional for this season (the forehead ridges in particular), but they still don't really look or sound like they're supposed to IMO, which is kind of annoying and takes me out of the story.
I really wish they'd get back to the kind of mission oriented stand-alone episodes like last week. Do more of those and I'll happily continue to tune in. But if they keep churning out sub-par episodes like tonight, I'm gonna lose interest very quickly. The Orville is kicking this show's ass right now.
