Awesome character based episode, again The Orville is nailing these 2nd season character based shows. A great spin on the whole time travel/time whatever trope used by sci-fi but WHAT THAT ENDING I DON'T EVEN?!?

Yep! Especially that last line you wrote.

I usually don't like time travel episodes...

But that was very well done, focusing entirely on the characters instead of science fiction mumbo jumbo we've heard a billion times and don't care about.

 

That ending... was fantastic. So many questions raised. Next week is going to be interesting.

Like they said in the episode, it could be two different timelines have been made now, instead of one linear one.  So her change might not change things.  Though, since they took the time to show it then it probably will.  Get ready for a back to the future type deal with people fading out of life.

 

I'd just like to point out that everytime they show kelly on screen my eyes just automatically go to her forehead pimple, or w/e it is, doesn't look dark enough to call a mole.   I can't stop myself from doing it to. :P

I think it will definitely be in the same timeline, not a split one. Time travel logic is usually pretty stupid.

 

I agree about the thing on her forehead though. In general, I think she looks too... not "perfect" but well makeuped, except for that one thing. I wouldn't want to diss the actress just because of that, just saying.

To much time travel in shows.   Its like the writers are getting lazier and lazier.

I agree, but I like how they just ignored the usual mumbo jumbo and made it character based, not a sci-fi dilema, so I don't mind it here.

Same, I was always paying attention to it when she was on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. too.

Watching the latest episode now.  Nice seeing how they include present day things into the show.  Few episodes ago, was the items in the times capsule.  This week,

And Alara returns.  Nice.  Even if just for a cameo.  I liked her character.

Glad it's renewed. Season 2 was so much better than Season 1.

 

I feel like next season will be its last though. Viewer counts have been terrible this season and basically every episode saw it drop after the other, felt it was 50/50 as well and the only reason it was renewed was to be a haven for Anti-Discovery folk, that didn't seem to pan out like Fox though it would though.

With online viewing added in, it was pulling in 6+ million. Hardly that bad...

It's bad. https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/the-orville-season-two-ratings/. Online or not, that drop in the number of millions is not good at all for television viewers.

Yeah I'm super glad we are getting season 3 obviously, but all those reporting that we would be getting seasons 3 4 and 5 when it was announced, yeah I doubt that's happening. With The Orville ratings aren't so black and white like with most TV properties. Mind you, the DVR/next day numbers are quite high for the show and McFarlane is obviously a keeper at FOX. Even Disney knows that I'm sure. So they gave him season 3. But a season 4 or 5, not gonna lie it doesn't look good. Unless season 3 blows the ratings out of the water somehow.

Which is sad because season 2 got pretty phenomenal reviews and cred among the sci-fi crowd. The only real complaint I've seen about it is the borrowing of theme from Star Trek, which is fair but doesn't detract from it being good.

Awesome. Well deserved renewal. I hope they do a season 4 and that should be about that. There is rarely, if at all, any show in history that is good past season 4. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single one.

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact.

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
