was that Ludo from Labyrinth in the next cell?

@CaseyJones I think it was so they could let the 31 years until now thing settle in for some more Henson nostalgia appreciation.

Just another soft nod to all the wonderful things we've gotten to enjoy along the way to where we are now.

I enjoyed the episode even moreso than I did the first.

Lots of nice subtle hints towards relationships developing off-camera such as Isaac supposedly reminding everyone that the Kaylon are technically, and culturally, superior to everyone else on board, Kelly and Alara have a friendship and Bortus has a life partner of sorts in Klyden.

The contemporary culture references are a bit thick but we've got to remember that it is its own thing and that will probably become part of the charm of it all.

Nice intro sequence too, we didn't get that last week.

"The contemporary culture references are a bit thick but we've got to remember that it is its own thing and that will probably become part of the charm of it all."

Some sci-fi series rationalize this by making one character a history buff specializing in 20th century US culture. For example, Picard's fondness for tough-guy detective stories or Sisko's "antique" baseball.

@CharlesTheBold Whilst this is true and Malloy, the navigations chap, had the obscure 21st Century knowledge to supply reality TV to the zoo keeper to help free the captain and the executive officer a lot of other people mention things which are quite contemporary.

The captain is into Kermit the frog and Elvis, the doctor knows about Star Wars and the helmsman knows about Compton being not safe for unvouched for white guys.

I enjoy it enough and will no doubt come to love it as part of the allure of the show, but solely within a science fiction setting it is a little off

Great episode. I'm loving the show so far.

This episode reminds me of "Futurama: Fry and Leela's Big Fling (S7E15, 2013)", where Fry and Leela end up in an alien zoo.
