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.

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
