I liked the most recent episode, it's nothing life altering but I was entertained.

 

I just love how he pokes fun at the crazy plots of Star Trek. He needs to get some "Star Trek" guest stars to poke fun at themselves.

I thought it was a pretty good episode.  Was a bit worried at first ... thought it was headed down the toilet.  However, as pointed out by Steven, it had a couple of good character driven plots which I found to be very good.  I was relieved the whole episode wasn't about the initial plot.

While I thought it a good episode I also thought it had a few to many plots running, while the A plot of Bortus was on hold between the start and end of the episode we had;

 

The Ed / Kelly & Kelly / new guy romance

The Alara / Big head romance

Claire's kid getting up to teenage kid type stuff

Gordon's pickup advice from John, which I have to admit given those two character I wasn't sure through most of it if John was just pranking Gordon

 

Ed in the shuttle especially cloaking it after he was seen was brilliant!

Hopefully now that Ed may have a new love interest

I'd prefer Ed be more like Captain Picard than Captain Kirk. This is essentially Seth's ode to TNG after all

Really ordinary episode just didn't hit the casual comedy moments that come so easily in other episodes. Only laugh I got was Gordon very calmly in front of all the staff mentioning he's handed one out at the start of the day

I rather loved that episode. I swear if you didn't tell me (and I didn't see some of the weirder things on the show) I'd tell you this was a Star Trek episode. Telling a fairly taboo subject for network TV and making it feel totally human even though aliens are involved - is pure Trek. Kudos to the writers of that episode. Also, gonna hate next weeks episode though :(

We all knew it was coming, suck it up buttercup!

How did we know it was coming? Was it announced before hand, I didn't know.

 

We're talking about the episode called Home, that was 3 right?

Yes, Home was the one I was talking about. And you kinda knew it was coming - but only if you had kept up with the cast goings on during the off season. If you didn't, this would have blind sided you as I'm sure it did. :(

It had been rumored since early last year she would be leaving, followed by an announcement Jessica Szohr was joining in season 2. Leaked location shots during filming showed Jessica Szohr in a red uniform alongside Ed, Kelly & the doc had the dots connecting & the episode 3 synopsis saying the crew were returning to Alara's home planet wrapped things.

Wonder if he is going to be a reg.

If so it would only likely be the next episode as he was introduced last week as the acting security chief. Episode 5 states a new crew member joins and IMDB lists this as the first episode for Jessica Szohr

 

From The Orville Wiki Jessica Szohr was announced as a new series regular on February 12, 2018. Details of her character were kept closely wrapped, though a series of small leaks allowed fans to deduce that the name would be "Talla Keyali" or "Talla Kexali.

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
