Tinkadinkadoo ,

This podcast on The Orville’s Lasting Impressions has made one on me. This is one of my favorite episodes. Your viewpoints on this episode resonated well with me from an emotional view, a moral compass, and a tech issue. What can/cannot the simulator do. Gordon’s character development was huge in this episode and I want more! The loneliness and longing was made so real that my heart literally ached for him. I remember reading about the life and works of some famous people and feeling so fascinated and so much attraction that I wished to have a simulator! I felt like falling into infatuation for a bit. In that, it’s scary to think about a future with simulators. I also thought a funny ending that could have capped any fantasy about such an experience would have been to reveal that Laura was a very distant relative of Gordon’s. Ack! Thank you for a GREAT podcast. To end my lengthy take:
