If that wasn't the finale then I wonder how on earth they are going to top this or what the story even could be next week.
The alliance between the Moclans and Krill makes sense but I really did laugh a bit when they tried their "women are inferior" act after being thrown out of the union for pretty much that reason. Guess some never learn.
The SFX in this episode was crazy but there is more then enough story parts to make this more then just a display of budget. They tackle the question of morality in using a WMD to commit genocide to your sworn enemy. Naturally there are two sides to the coin. And both are heard.
I guess we do know now why the introduced the character of Charlie as they needed a way to make the Kaylon see the error of their ways without sacrificing one of the main cast. And while that sacrifice makes logical sense inside the story, the emotional impact is, sadly, small. She was displayed too much unlikeable for me to attach to her. They tried to rectify that in this episode by having her sing with Gordon (which was admittingly a blast) but it was too little, too late. And even in this episode she was still generally opposed to Kaylons and harboured doubts the deserve to live, until her final actions. I'm sure it was meant to be her redemption but, like I said, it didn't touch me.
The whole attack on the Moclan installation had a massive Star Wars vibe for me (Death Star anyone ?). It was well done in terms of editing and flow together with the other parts of the story. That's high level film making. Btw. am I the only one who thinks Adrienne Palicki looks much too comfortable with a gun in her hand ;-)
Then there is the matter of Teleya. She actually got too little time in this episode if you'd ask me. I think that's what we will see next week - her triall and maybe a conclusion to what happens to her daughter.
Remember, a forth season is still not confirmed so some things need to be resolved. Even if we get another season it will probably be again a long wait.
I know it's not about the qaulity of a show when it comes to renewal. But I really hope to hear soon that next week won't be the last time we fly with "The Orville".
