I think this was a reach episode for them. They tried to write a really smart piece of science fiction that was based around the questions of where does humanity go from here. What does our future self look like? How do we imagine death if a species is immortal.


They also linked the whole thing back to a season one episode.


This almost felt like a vanity episode by Seth where he says "See we can write smart TV". But the premise felt a little flawed in the end, and the dialogue while really kind of intriguing with the discussions around the flaws of natural evolution, and how the universe is better when one evolves to the point of controlling it.



But I did like the final discussion around the bar table talking about the impossibility of envisioning death.


but the premise seemed so outside of a usual Orville episode. Probably the best segment of all of the scenarios was the long staircase. But the rest of the scenarios were just weird.


Like I said it was an over reach, and a bit boring, and what was happening didn't make sense in terms of the whole mystery episode since the crew didn't really solve anything, it just kind of ended.
