- TriviaMike Henry, a frequent Seth MacFarlane collaborator, makes his first appearance here as Dann, the mushroom-headed man requesting that music be added to the elevators. Dann would go on to be a recurring supporting character throughout the series.
- GoofsWhen Ed and Kelly leave the bridge to go greet the forensic archaeologist in the shuttle bay, Kelly requests that Alara send the name of the archaeologist to their comms as soon as she has found it. When Alara discovers that the archaeologist is Darulio, the main with whom Kelly had an affair, rather than contacting Kelly or Ed via communicator as requested, she runs to the shuttle bay in an attempt to abort the shuttle docking. Had she used the communicator as requested, she would not have been too late to give Ed and Kelly a heads up on the archaeologist's identity. Had she even used the communications system to contact the shuttle bay control room, rather than run there, she would not have been too late to abort the shuttle docking.

Disappointment
Kelly Grayson is amazing. The more I invested in "The Orville" the more I saw a person who is curious, assertive, knowledgeable, funny, likeable, entertaining, sympathetic, a hero. Then the cupid episode comes out. That's right Kelly is "perfect". Not her fault that she screwed her marriage with Ed. Literally. Now Ed falls under the same spell and a perfect explanation as to why Kelly made a mistake. This episode is the beginning of the end for Orville. Kelly is allowed to make mistakes. It's called being human. What made her interesting is NOT how amazing she is but her development in the series from her bottom , with Ed , to her in later episodes. Her goal was to "make things right". How does that even matter if her whole reason to fix things with Ed is some chemical "geo fence" that makes all with in it horny. This is a parody on itself and the beginning of the end for Orville. Stop giving your characters an OUT every FV<K'n time. Kelly made a huge mistake. She is making it right with all that she is doing for herself and hopefully for Ed. If he accepts it . STOP excusing characters for their mistakes with scientific explanations for their infidelities and allow them to be human. It's the humanity that makes them worth watching. NOT the constant excuses to why they are "perfect". Just stop it or stop making episodes.
