Around half season I would have laught in the face of someone telling me "You will cry for Charley". I was sympatethic to her horrible loss cause it's was clear her hate come from her survivor syndrome, but from that to being moved for her death it's a long step. A long step covered by a great character arc. Heroes and made not born, because to be an hero you first have to overcome your own limitations and do something that would have been impossibile for your previous self. I love the orville and the way it takes on reality in a fantasy setting because very often it's not a boring "that's right / that's wrong" but "what would you do in his/her shoes". It moves you and makes you think, and sometime it's also divisive and that is a good thing because it you can talk about it and gain perspective widening your mind. And that image with the explosion reflected in her eyes it's gold: it's her soul finding closure
I remember how the end of STP fell completely flat and Picard's "sacrifice" had zero emotional depth. This episode of _The Orville_ however took a brandnew character and made you feel how much her sacrifice matters. Now that's writing and that's acting
OMG! This is the best episode ever! If this doesn't show that The Orville should be not only renewed but renewed for multiple years, then I don't know what would. Bravo to Seth and his team. What an amazing job
I think Midnight Blue is still the top episode. However, its incredible with the Cast, writers, and crew have achieved with this season. And I'm left crying at the end of it. There are more comments I'd like to make, but I don't want to spoil the episode.
So many stories to tell like Ed's daughter, the moclan krill alliance, the alliance of the Kaylon, possibly other species in the union. The krill have no chancellor now. Etc etc WE NEED A 4TH SEASON AND MORE !
Its okay to cry. I did too. Just let them flow brother. I also loved how confused the Primary of the Kaylon was. Its like he still doesn’t get it but somethings ticking inside that’s made him reconsider his position on us organics.
If anyone in the Orville production team is reading this, I humbly ask that a USS Burke make an appearance somewhere. Love the show hope to see you next season
Maybe they could bring her character back somehow... This is science fiction so there are LOTS of ways they could bring her character back... For example alternate universe/holodeck simulation, etc... If they REALLY decided to kill her character, they would lose LOTS of viewers...
@@user-ov5tj3nj1g They do have the time machine that brought Gordon to the 21st century. Question is how far do they want to turn back the time? Just before the battle where Charlie sacrifices herself or go beyond that, perhaps before the battle where her partner was killed?
Was powerful and calus at the same time. How many people died in that battle? But they are only remembering 1 crew member. So the crew in the fighters from the Orville. Their deaths didn't count. She did not die alone. But the ending made it seem like she was the only one that died.
@@gilbertgaines672 was thinking the same, but this was a eulegy for charly cus she was one crew member of the orville, and the eulegy was on orville, not the union central. The other ships probably had their own eulegies on their ships, if they has casualties.
@@gilbertgaines672 fair point. You may have more detail on it, but im not sure they all came from the orville. But you are probably right. Kinda chaotic and hectic scene =) alot going on so to speak.
I was teary-eyed. Especially, when Isaac gave a final glance at Charly. Then, she utters, "I'm here, Amanda". 😪🤧 Personally, not a good year for my new fave characters on shows. Eddie Munson on Stranger Things. Hemmer on Strange New Worlds. Now, Charly Burke of The Orville. 💔 Love the speech/eulogy by Isaac at the end. There better be a season 4!!! ❤
Nope, just nope. It was decent, but nowhere near as good as some others. Especially when stacked against Expanse and some other very deep Sci-Fi out there.
Man... now I'm just thinking "Yesterday's Enterprise" but instead of a 45 minute experience it's turned into an hour and a half movie with modern sets, special effects, and combat; then I'd be able to place that ahead of "Domino".
I thought it was a brilliant and touching episode and her story arc was absolutely perfect. It was well performed and extremely well written. Kudos to the actress, cast and to the writers. 👏
This episode was the best yet. It was incredible. I love this show so much. Finally, Disney realized there mistake, and brought Orville home. Holy crap this series is phenomenal.
I love how they went to the opposite end of that old trope of coming up with a weapon to turn the tide and win the war. A solution that somehow can defeat the great enemy in one go that has resolved many Sci-Fi stories some of which I love. But here it starts out with the Union creating said weapon, struggle with the implications of using such a weapon to potentially commit Genocide but rather reaching a compromise with the enemy. Then having to fight at all costs to stop the usage of that weapon that has fallen into the wrong hands. Just great storytelling!!
Makes one wonder how different the world might be if Truman had responded positively to Japanese peace-feelers. The episode was a marvelous commentary on Hiroshima.
ultimately this is what future and optimal human are. We put aside our differences and make peace. It might not sound reasonable according to how we view the world now. They're in the future, material needs and personal desires no longer exist. People work for self respect, ranking, and pursuit to change the world, not materialistic gain. Best story telling and amazing acting. No other show alike compares.
@@drbuckley1 Nothing would have changed. To end the war would have required the agreement of the Japanese military leadership to do so and that would only happen if Emperor Hirohito himself told them to end the war, something that he didn’t do until after Nagasaki, when it became apparent that the Americans had made multiple nuclear bombs and not just the one that was dropped on Hiroshima. The civilian government and the peace negotiators didn’t have any power or influence over the generals and the admirals. Only the Emperor had that authority.
This episode was absolutely incredible. I mean don't misunderstand me, this entire season is amazing, each episode feels like a big budget movie and this is some of the best science fiction ever made. But this episode in particular, the stakes, the sheer scale of it, the twists, it's way, way up there. If the Orville isn't renewed for a fourth season after this then I don't know what's wrong with the world today.
holy shit! Seth has nailed this season... the last 2 eps have been amazing.. but id like to see some of the comedy back... Charly character was brilliant, its sad to see her go..
There is a proverbial ball sitting with it’s cover sitting next to it because the whole Orville team knocked it off. Outstanding conceptually, well written, perfectly directed and superbly acted. Gorgeously rendered by both photographic and effects team. Even the stunt teams got into the act. Without question this episode sets a new bar for the franchise and I cannot wait to see what’s next.
If there are no other seasons then there is no justice. This season has been great and this episode, in particular, was awesome. I love how the longer episodes allow for more character moments such as the singing and discussions among the crew. Great writing and great performances all around.
I wasn't liking the character of Charlie but was enjoying her story arc. I think it's a good testament to Winters & the writing of how powerful & impactful Charlie was on The Orville even if it was perhaps too brief.
@@chadwickmccarty4944 Yes, but hopefully only briefly. Making her an omni-god would be too much pseudo science. The Orville is scifi, not superhero fantasy.
Seth really has done a great job with Charly's story arc! I've so enjoyed this series and wish we could just go straight into Season 4. I've re-watched this episode 3 times already and it's just jaw droppingly well done!
You should have included the line "I'm Here Amanda". Its the most powerful moment of episode 9. I have to say this season of Orville has been amazing, the story depth incredible and the acting and directing superb. This episode, the writers, Anne Winters, etc. should all be nominated for Emmys.
Damn Charly had some really great scenes and cool lines....gone too soon but her death is very impactful. Seth is hitting it out of the park! We're need a renewal!!!
I'll miss Charley. It is profound how the alliances in the Orville get shuffled around. It reminds me of the 80's of when I thought the Wasaw Pact nations were the bad guys and now almost all of them are allies.
This episode is of the HOOK! It was by far the best episode yet it will be a tragedy if it doesn't get a 4th season! It was very intense and the ending wasn't all that surprising when the weapon got stolen but it was very well done💪 Since it is on a Disney network they should take note on how to male strong female characters! You have a landing party of 3 women and two androids but not for one seconds do you question it because they were the perfect people for the job 👌 well done Seth👍
This was incredible!!! So many surprises. I can't imagine how the season finale will be. It better NOT be the series finale. The Orville New Horizons needs to be renewed for many many seasons
Man if René Echevarria could see this Episode before writing "I Borg". But is this a proximate comparison? If you could exterminate The Borg the same manner as Issac with his device do the Moral implications change? Could such a weapon be used as a deterrent against The Borg? Would they comply to an agreement like the one offered in this show? Voyager laughably tried this with 8472. But last night I was at the edge of my seat. It all makes me wounder 'what could have been?".
I was so sad to see Charly die and when I saw her ad Gordon Singing I had hope that maybe she and Gordon would be come an item. I cried ....FANTASTIC episode!!!
I will say I was stunned by this episode, I had tears at the end and all I could say was WOW, truly amassing work and the episodes get better every week.
Oh this is a fun episode, lots of action and of course they are going to succeed and bring back the device, I can see that coming from a mile away .... Ten minutes later ... bloody hell !!! I am tearing up !!!!!
I hope the Kalon at least name a capital ship Charly Burke at some point, if not a city. Would be a nice gesture of recognition for the Orville crew to witness. (and a sign of an evolution in their understanding of biologicals)
@@therealvector8955 If sentimental displays matter to the biologicals you're trying to influence, then the logical action is to simulate sentimental displays. Are you perhaps a v1 Atari 2600 powered Kalon?
@@poneill65 LOL I agree, but if our sci-fi writers always applied such simple logic to our fictional pure-logic AI beings then characters like Data and Isaac should have become more relatable to their human crewmates far more quickly than they did (whether they were faking it or not). But, that would have defeated their purpose in the narrative, of course.
If you told me before this episode that the Kaylon would be provisional members of The Union I would have called bullshit. Great episode and a well written character arc for Burke. Season 4 and go for more
Much like Serenity before it, we lost 2 big characters in this episode but only one of them will remembered in a big way. As fall out boy said, thanks for the memories!
About midway through this episode I was thinking that the stakes were high and I felt there was meaning in the conflict but also questioned how no one was being sacrificed and could they even sacrifice any of the main characters. Sometimes this show is like a daytime soap opera with its simplified emotional drama but the story telling is always intriguing. I’d love to see the writing lean toward a more darker tone but not at the expense of the macfarlane style of humor. Still it’s good
I find the humor makes the simplified emotional drama go down easier. If I have to look at Mercer trying to look ultra-sincere in a way, way too long close up (fast becoming a drinking game worthy cliche), without the relief of knowing he's also kind of a doofus who would stalk his ex-wife from a shuttle craft, I'm gonna laugh in Seth's overacting face. I think the best episodes have both.
I go from hating Charlie to crying caused by her death... FU to The Orville for giving us an amazing story and great character arch's and taking away characters we grow to love. Damn I love this show.
Watched this episode early this morning. WOW. Seth is going to have to start putting up Fasten Your Seatbelts signs before episodes start now. Again, WOW. Sorry to see Ms Winters leave, but an Heroic departure is the best. Maybe Isaac and Gordon can come up with a way to turn the lights way up inside the Krill Vessels like Gordon did in season 1.
I will miss Charlie so ably played by Anne Winters. What a brilliant episode. This season has gone from strength to strength. I cannot wait to see what the season finale has in store for us.
And hopefully it continues for more seasons. It's still up in the air. Next Wednesday could potentially be the series finale since Seth MacFarlane will be doing the Ted TV show for a while.
This is the third episode in a row to leave me in tears, and all three for completely different reasons. Renew this show NOW, preferably for multiple seasons!
I don't know how I feel. I'm still crying. She was becoming one of my favorite characters, but it's hard to not admit that her story arc, although brief, was absolutely flawless. I'm so sad yet so impressed at the same time. And I'm blown away. Even more blown away than when we lost Tasha Yar. Charly had a hell of a voice too. We must have more of this absolutely phenomenal and brilliant series. Genious, it would be a crime and also an insult to Charly's character if they do not renew for multiple seasons. I wonder if time travel tricks can bring the character back? I just can't believe we've lost her. She was super hot too.
Not sure if you joke or not, but it is true how we connect things. 22 years ago I was driving and saw the aftermath of a really bad accident on the opposite side of the motorway where I later found out a cyclist had been killed by a Land Rover. The song Pure Shores by All Saints was playing on the radio at the time, and even to this day whenever I hear that song, it brings that image back to me.
This was epic! If this season is any indication of what the next one would or could be omg! Please for the love of God give us more! A little dramatic but there is. Lol.
DANG!! And not even the finale! This is definitely one to be shown on the big screen. So much potential for more stories but only one episode left........
Without a doubt, this is the BEST sci-fi show of the 2000s (maybe decades earlier)!! Even my wife watched it with us and she usually hates this type of show. Needs another few seasons and maybe even a big screen movie or two!!
Not ashamed to admit I cried during this episode. There had better be a new season that opens with the Kaylon presenting a new Charly Burk class destroyer to the Union. Her character grew so much during the season.
Nice thing is that you don't see her die so some time travel, a cloaked ship, and a transporter could bring her back. Her 4th dimensional thinking abilities make her an ideal temporal agent.
Although that's a possibility as sci-fi is notorious for bringing back dead characters, I believe her statement about "I'm here, Amanda" was self evident that she died. In some ways her character was never happy having survived and always lamented over the loss of her friend. It was a perfect story arc, and I think it would cheapen her character and her accomplishments that was attained in this episode to have her live instead of going out as a selfless hero.
I hated Charley at the start but now I cried for her. What a story arc! Renew the Orville now!
Yes, exactly the same, was not keen on her but quickly warmed to her through the season and what a classic to go out on
2 thumbs up times infinity!! Yes renew the Orrville New Horizons a million times over!!
Around half season I would have laught in the face of someone telling me "You will cry for Charley".
I was sympatethic to her horrible loss cause it's was clear her hate come from her survivor syndrome, but from that to being moved for her death it's a long step.

Its okay to cry. I did too. Just let them flow brother. I also loved how confused the Primary of the Kaylon was. Its like he still doesn’t get it but somethings ticking inside that’s made him reconsider his position on us organics.
yeah i figured they were going to need to destroy the device but charlie dying, i did not see happening
It was way too soon though. "Let's promote this actress we hired and her new character, she's going to be a great additi--AND SHE'S GONE."
If anyone in the Orville production team is reading this, I humbly ask that a USS Burke make an appearance somewhere. Love the show hope to see you next season
Love that idea!
Sorry to see Charlie go, but she went out a big hero, and completed her journey this season!
Did Seth break up with her? lol

All of the spoilers ever! Love it! This was another great episode
Was an amazing episode. I love this show so damn much
I don't know how I feel. I'm still crying. She was becoming one of my favorite characters, but it's hard to not admit that her story arc, although brief, was absolutely flawless. I'm so sad yet so impressed at the same time. And I'm blown away. Even more blown away than when we lost Tasha Yar. Charly had a hell of a voice too. We must have more of this absolutely phenomenal and brilliant series. Genious, it would be a crime and also an insult to Charly's character if they do not renew for multiple seasons. I wonder if time travel tricks can bring the character back? I just can't believe we've lost her. She was super hot too.
✅🔥💯
Best episode ever....*slurps big gulp
i can go from hating charly to actually cried for her,,bravo!
This was a great episode, I am so sad for Charlie.
the best thing i have seen in the last few years! orville is just unbelievably good! keep it up!
PANCAKES... For Charly
hoping for season 4 when the orville moves from hulu to Disney plus
This episode felt like a movie. Wow, I want more!
This will be a episode that i will remember partically because i found a dead bird that my cat had killed after i finished watching the episode😂
Not sure if you joke or not, but it is true how we connect things. 22 years ago I was driving and saw the aftermath of a really bad accident on the opposite side of the motorway where I later found out a cyclist had been killed by a Land Rover. The song Pure Shores by All Saints was playing on the radio at the time, and even to this day whenever I hear that song, it brings that image back to me.
@@Species1571 oh god. and yeah i can take jokes
@@Yourstandardchannel4445 I meant not sure if you were joking in your comment.
@@Species1571 no i was not joking there really was a dead bird it it was huge
You have the best content. I have watched your channel grow from you sitting in your car on your break to these amazing works of art that you give us!
I'm here, Amanda.
Haunting and beautiful
When i first saw saw the destruction of the Kaylon that was a holy shit moment . So many great story lines in this series.
Just finished.... I'm a sobbing mess! But I loved it!
We can only hope the Kaylons are being honest. I briefly thought a worse enemy is likely on the horizon.😱
That explains the last 3 filler episodes.. that was INTENSE!! If Domino wasn't pinned as the season final. God only knows what's in store next week!!
I love this show!
In order to renew the Orville.They completed their season You have to make new deals withe cast.they have been released.
This was epic! If this season is any indication of what the next one would or could be omg! Please for the love of God give us more! A little dramatic but there is. Lol.
Every episode this season has been a banger. This show deserves more seasons
DANG!! And not even the finale! This is definitely one to be shown on the big screen. So much potential for more stories but only one episode left........
What a great character!
play it at half speed for the algorithm
What?
Without a doubt, this is the BEST sci-fi show of the 2000s (maybe decades earlier)!!
Even my wife watched it with us and she usually hates this type of show. Needs another few seasons and maybe even a big screen movie or two!!
yeah bro!, is the best from 2000s without a doubt, awesome job of everyone of Set Team!
Not ashamed to admit I cried during this episode. There had better be a new season that opens with the Kaylon presenting a new Charly Burk class destroyer to the Union. Her character grew so much during the season.
Charlie had a lot of character growth in this episode and I started to enjoy her. Boom, she's gone and now I'm upset about it. These writers are good.
Seth knocking it out into orbit AGAIN, I'm surprised he hasn't been hired by SpaceX already.
hoping for season 4 disney plus takes over
An epic actress.
Krill/Moclan alliance. Called it last week Boom.
Just watched Domino on SBS Australia 🇦🇺 .
Awesome special effectives, especially the major Space battle.
Charly sacrificed herself and Admiral Perry got taken out when his shuttle was destroyed. Bit of a rough time in the Orvilleverse.
Nice thing is that you don't see her die so some time travel, a cloaked ship, and a transporter could bring her back.
Her 4th dimensional thinking abilities make her an ideal temporal agent.
Although that's a possibility as sci-fi is notorious for bringing back dead characters, I believe her statement about "I'm here, Amanda" was self evident that she died. In some ways her character was never happy having survived and always lamented over the loss of her friend.
It was a perfect story arc, and I think it would cheapen her character and her accomplishments that was attained in this episode to have her live instead of going out as a selfless hero.
@@staroceans8677 Or Amanda was also recruited as her time and place of death was known too, and they get to have a non unalive reunion.
@@MarkLLawrence that would undermine Charly's storyarc and add nothing special
@@monkeyzorr3090 she's more valuable alive than dead
@@MarkLLawrence her death secured an alliance with the Kaylon, how is she more important alive than dead
