The one thing I dislike about american time traveling shows is their obsession with JFK’s assassination, please let that man rest in peace and come up with new historic events, obviously this looks like a new approach but just get over him please.
I was absolutely loving the episode, until Ty — a child — casually walked out of the Orville, no authorization required, he literally just opened the door and left. That broke the episode, for me, even more so when you consider that was a crucial plot element for the big, shocking twist to be revealed. I can't believe Brannon Braga, a Star Trek: TNG veteran, wrote something as atrocious as that.
Everything else about this episode was utterly excellent and this would have been a sci-fi masterpiece, if it all didn't depend on that one badly written scene.
Giving Beck a voice was great. It removed the creepy idolization stain on her from seeing her only from Joe's perspective. It gives her agency that is starting to be needed to take this show to a new level.
While severance has been a slick show from the beginning. Well shot. Well paced. Well acted. It's been kind of a slow drag to nowhere. Even the revelation of Petey while interesting didn't really take us anywhere. But episodes 8 and 9 really do successfully deliver on the tension that's been building all season finally unite the inside story and the outside story.
I love all the comments from all the butthurt people who can afford to not think about race and police brutality. I hope y’all are enjoying the privilege y’all have. It must be really nice.
I am all for character based stories and this was not a bad episode by any means. But can we please do something other than romance, relationships and sexuality for once ?
A fantastic premise for this show. An abbey of silence where they have to assess a miracle without saying a word. There's an air of the disturbing throughout the whole episode in spite of some of the most genuine moments of amusement in the series today. Some clever and unexpected visual design on the internal monologues really help keep the engagement up without disturbing the air of silence.
An utterly delightful episode that plays with the line between reality and fiction that is practically the trademark of this show.
talia was being sexually harassed by a guest star. For some reason the show did not take her completely seriously there's no reason for them not to have done that because she is a main character and the perpetrator was merely a guest star who had no important role in the show. However she decided to stick to her guns and leave the show . this is very unfortunate because I really did enjoy her character. I've been wondering how they were going to deal with her character not being on the show anymore turns out they just use the laziest solution they have. It does the job but there's a very noticeable hole in the balance on the show.
This show isn't supposed to be this good!
Since Zeke believes he's been gone two weeks when he was actually gone for a year, whatever is going on isn't just to those who were on Flight 828. This show is becoming weirder and weirder. I hope their (the writers) explanation for what's happening is worth it.
1) I didn't know that weather witch is so beautiful. <3
2) That interface in the car was funny it looks like a kids tab with lot of applications.
3) Some elements were interesting but i didn't like the story.
4) So if Thawne is alive and looks like Dr wells it means Thawne returned to the future.
5) The part with Cisco was too dramatic and boring.
A middling pilot, but there's certainly a lot of room to grow
A great season opener reminding you of everything you like about this show. The amount of memes you could make from Kristen's face alone
oh dang Rachel those are TEENAGE GIRLS. Don't talk to them. Just don't make eye contact and hope they don't speak to you.
Okay, well that was confusing. The most notable storyline in this episode is the one involving the maths tutor, well specifically the maths tutor and the vicar.
Good lord woman why are you so.... and I struggle to find another word for this but stupid. Just one stupid moment flipped the entire path of the story for a character who honestly was amazing before then.
When you know someone so well why would make the presumptions she makes. Being shocked at CP I get. That's awful stuff I can't imagine. But assuming that Ben your math student is gleefully and casually taking ownership of it is ridiculous. The worst part is that in spite of the fact that his father is a vicar she can't imagine any other outcome than it's Ben's "He told me from his own mouth". Now Harry is also a moron for being unable to explain a simple concept like "it belongs to a parish member" without going through three fumbles. Just explain. How this ended up with her bleeding in your basement is beyond belief.
This episode feels like they set it up to be interesting but ended up reductive. But that's just the storytelling. I'm not a fan of this particular story.
Previously we were told that just because something looks like a monsters doesn't mean it is. It kinda felt specifically like a hint that Medusa was a victim (and she is) in need of sympathy for what happened to her and not revulsion for how she looks. And yet we have Medusa who saves the children and ends up with her head cut off. Almost like we could have just judged her by her monstrous appearance in the first place.
How is it possible that eobard is still alive in the future and he remembers killing Barry‘s mother. Should he be earased from existance ?
Plot-wise, there's no much to reel you in but we'll keep watching because of the characters.
Death row episodes are the worst. It's a barbaric practice and everything about it just screams how immoral this country is. It's exceptionally gross. The idea that "Oh hey we killed someone for the crime we're never going to open the case again even if we get evidence" is so horrific it makes me gag and it's the central premise of this episode as Jane and the FBI have to get a confession before the execution or else no one will care what the real killer has to say. The irony of someone in this episode pointing out how it's about justice when they end up being proven that the death row inmate isn't the killer. Which we know from the episode construction had to be true from the start. All this and that's ONLY the ethical consideration. Not even accounting for the physical and fiscal considerations that of course aren't the purview of this show.
People are disappointed become they are expecting what they saw in the movie, a comedy. I liked this episode.
No seat belt, no helmet and I've never heard anyone pronounce Vi that way. What about Vim?
A few other things than this show is have done the same sort of weird tech. I think we're in this weird age where tech issues are represented more accurately, but tech is still represented Awfully. I remember earlier one of the big kings of tech still picks his password to be a date that personally significant to him. No one does that.. especially not the tech elite. I mean men that especially not people who are actually technically literate. The tech elite are a bunch of morons who just have money but anyone who knows any technology know if you don't put your birthday as a password
Well that escalated rather quickly
OH, I liked that one even better!
Heart warming, the soldier standing his post not wanting to disappoint the Professor (then being relieved by Gus)...and, the Professor being accidentally reminded of who he really was by Elton.... Brilliant!
Samson Kayo is just the perfect reluctant ghost buster...I'm gonna look up what else he's been in!
Wauw! Now this is storytelling. Every episode of the Orville now has ramped up to this one. Without a clear ark throughout the seasons they have, with one episode, achieved just that. The ramifications are enormous and the possibilities of future episodes staggering.
I teared up at one point during the episode only to be on the edge of my seat a few minutes later... And now I have to wait a whole week for the conclusion?! Goddamn! I remember Starfleet ships amassing together for the war that was to come and I had to wait a year for it to continue. This episode ranks right up there.
NOTE: Damn, a lot of redshirts died this episode! Which is ironic as someone stated not one redshirt even leaves the ship on STD.
That drawing of those three looking at a picture of them three is soo funny
A rather good episode and having Claudia Black guest star already blessed the episode so that's what we call Double PlusGood in the modern lingo.
It kinda says something about jail, that, in this show, this dude is facing being imprisoned. Having already been there, he decides he'd rather blow his brains out than go back. This is presented casually. The show doesn't see this as exceptional, barely noteworthy. The average viewer just understands this. It doesn't need to be explained. That says something kind of terrifying about our society. His crime to go back was kidnapping. It's not like he hurt the kid or killed someone.
It's fine. Nothing special yet. Justin is ruggedly handsome enough. The secondary team is compelling enough to meet minimum standards. We have his weekly tropes of fighting for money now and "Contract becomes legally binding upon success" etc.
If you have a gap in your line up this is competent enough to fight for a spot. We'll see how it looks three episodes in. Right now could go either way.
Here's a new cozy crime investigation series with a bunch of familiar faces, and oh, look.....it's Erika Christensen from 20 years ago Swimfan! all grown up and lookin' fine :smiley:
To me it takes a few easy on the eyes cast members, an acceptable plot, professional videography and comfortable lighting to decide on whether I'll be moving forward with the show or not. I'm all cozied up with this show....let's see how it'll hold up.
No matter what Grace is always right. Of course the writers couldn’t write her to be told by Ben that he tired to tell her everything. That she wouldn’t listen.
