Just finished watching last night's episode....

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

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

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.

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.

Considering IMDB's synopsis for the final episode is, "The crew must contend with the disastrous fallout from Kelly's decision." I think we can make some inferences on what happened to the...

...timeline.

 

[techbeck]

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.

It was really difficult not to...

...stare at them the entire episode.

 

Nice ending to season 2. Looking forward to Season 3.

‘The Orville’ Renewed for Season 3 at Fox

Oh thank the lord. If they hadn't renewed that...

[LOC Veteran]

Yay, now Egotastic Funtime himself JP can esplode with space pew pews and splosions in his car some more!

[George P Global Moderator]

Took them a while to announce this, it seemed 50/50.

He's already Jaloda'd himself with joy!

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.

[FloatingFatMan]

Part of that is going to be the gaps between episodes. Still, it's better numbers than the Simpsons, which keeps on getting renewed and renewed and renewed...

[Jim K Global Moderator]

Just glad there will be a Season 3.  

[George P Global Moderator]

Fox is a stickler for ratings, they're quick to kill any show that doesn't match what they expect.  We'll see how next season goes but it could be the last one.

[LOC Veteran]

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.

[astropheed Veteran]

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.
