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.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

      The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
