Klyden is such a wet blanket, glad they’ve been got rid of. Also thought for a moment we’d lose the doctor and got a little bit excited. Hopes dashed!
I thought that too at first, that she’d quit to do the procedure, then she offered it up before the alternative plan was made. Flip Martian said:

Just watched a Tale of 2 Topas. ST Discovery take note, this is how you tackle a tricky topic of today without shoehorning it in for the sake of it and ramming it down your throat. Good ep.
Have to agree. Similar subject matter covered but in a far better way in The Orville.Entertainment industry in general take note - here is how to do gender social comment and strong females without turning it into ant-patriarchy misandry.
Brilliant writing, genuinely emotional performances.
Only tiny disappointment for me was that they should have kept the mystery regarding Bortus's singing prowess. The karaoke joke will never have the same impact now.

As for the singing, I am surprised Wynne Evans didn't turn up and sing Go Compare...

I thought the joke was going to be that he was terrible and the only reason the whole crew went to see it was for plausible deniablity (very very cryptic pun/link to star trek there) about topa getting the surgery. But he was actually good
I thought he sang in season 1 and was genuinely terrible?Wasn't at all sure I was enjoying the episode until the last 10 minutes or so, and then it all came together and really appreciated it, possibly the strongest one yet for me from this season.

Catching up with episode 4, had to smile at Admiral Halsey watching Annie!
Was deliberately done, according to thishttps://www.cinemablend.com/interviews/the-funny-w...

Not really sure how I feel about the latest episode.
Very heavy handed with the "rules are rules" direction, got to feel sorry for older Gordon.
Nice to see Isaac out of costume.
Was half expecting a T2-style biker confrontation
I thought that it was great. Shades of The Inner Light about it too.Very heavy handed with the "rules are rules" direction, got to feel sorry for older Gordon.

The biker thing was nonsense though and unnecessary
I enjoyed it, aside from how easy it is to time travel (seems to be a trek constant that when they need to time travel, there’s always a technobabble way to do it).
There was a nice injection of humour on this one which I appreciated (seeing bortus smile for the selfie). Also shows (IMO) how good an actor Scott Grimes is.
I agree on the biker scene, I too was expecting Isaac to do a bit of Arnie homage.
