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.

      WTF! Nah, not this one. If you were back then using computers in the 90s or you had a clue, you'd know this was huge and was seen and overused absolutely everywhere and you'd take this article as no more than a retrospective story. That's all it is.

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.
