S2E8 - Kaylon Supremacy


Took down the diverse crew like it was nothing. Grey nationalists now seek Earth as its next target to keep their race pure.

For beings so advanced as they are, they're pretty negligent on who comes and goes from the Orville ship. That and being able to get taken down by organic weaponry is another deficiency in their matrix for the supreme AI. I thought they were like the borg where they'd adapt to the weaponry or have some defense against them but nope.

Can't wait for the next ep though. This is the first to be continued episode and grand battle waiting to take place DS9 style.

Imdb reviews are 10/10. Comparing it to TOS "What Are Little Girls Made Of" and TNG "The Best of Both Worlds".

I thought the same thing about how easily the Orville crew was coming and going, considering that supposedly the Kaylons never tolerated visitors. But good episode and I am looking forward to the resolution. I hope the writers come up with something more imaginative than Isaac having a change of heart, so to speak, and helping the Union against his own people.

Wasn't there a two-part episode in the first season?

I think they kind of underestimated the crew since they see biological life forms as inferior they didn't pay that much attention to some wandering off the ship.
