This scene absolutely deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with any Trek scene, new or old. It’s scenes like this that earn The Orville recognition as honorary Star Trek, and not only a parody.
Galaxy Quest has scenes that also make it into this category.

It’s less of a parody and more of an homage for me. There’s humor, but there’s humor in every day life.
It was MacFarlane making his own Star Trek with blackjack and hookers.
“By Grabthar’s hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged.”
Absolutely.
The moment The Orville established itself as a solid Trek for me (vs parody) was its first courtroom episode.
