They also fired a torpedo during the test run last week.

And most likely have a back door into whatever ships have this new sheilding tech

I didn't even see my own pun in that statement... "ohhh myyy"

If anything, to me it seems they are starting to rely too much on Moclans having a dumb culture.
Ok, we had that one episode in S1 about Bortus child. But in S2 we had :
- Moclan peeing episode
- Moclan divorce episode
- Moclan are heterophobes episode

That's 3 episodes of 7 aired this season right now. It feels repetitive.

I agree. I found myself wondering why they keep revisiting this? I got it -- Moclans are narrowminded faggots.

That was unexpected! Looks like they spent their entire budget on this episode.

Well now we know why they asked for a 1 week break for extra time on a couple episodes.

Awesome episode. Frakking Cylons!

I didn't realize that Frakes is directing this two parter and Braga was on the writing team.

Holy shit! Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about!

So I guess Skynet won on Kaylon, eh?

Isaac is faking it because he <3s humans, right?

I think they want us to think that. I think it would be better if he isn't though.

Well, they can go a few ways. It seems fairly unlikely they'll actually destroy Earth. It also seems unlikely that the Orville could destroy all the orbital laser things on its own.

My guess is Issac ends up helping them disable the things, but unless they could construct a way to make him trustworthy again, I don't see how they could keep him on the ship.

Holy shit what an episode, hopefully the Dr dies though, worst actress ever.

Welp, called the Kaylon secret; did not exactly call the twist of what they were going to do. Is it a good thing or a bad thing if I want it to be a trilogy episode?

Honestly, I think Penny is the most attractive female on the show. Granted, she's getting up their in age, but I find her prettier than Adrianne.

Def blew all their budge on this episode.

It is interesting they just finished with "I wonder if we have irreconcilable differences with the Moclans?" Then right into, irreconcilable differences with the Androids.
I also feel they wrote themselves into a bit of a corner. Like, how they hell can they get out of this, without seeming really contrived.
Issac seemingly has to save the day, for anyone on the Orville to survive. Alternative, Moclans, etc need to save the day. Federation working together in spite of differences, has to be thematic answer, and how the Federation does.
