More thoughts about The Orville. Though at one point Bortus says he's glad he's nothing like Isaac, by the end of Season 2 I'm seeing a lot of parallels. They've both had their horizons expanded by their time on the Orville, to the point where they're both seriously at odds with their home cultures. They've both actually taken up arms against their own people at different points. On the other hand, their personalities are so different I doubt either of them will see the similarities anytime soon.
On Kaylon Primary... I read a post somewhere wondering why Primary bothered keeping Isaac around after the Kaylon had taken over the Orville. He served no purpose, and in the end thwarted Primary's plans. However, looking at Primary's actions as a whole, I see he enjoys playing cruel mind games with people. Keeping Isaac around was a way of twisting the knife in the biological crew of the Orville. The same goes for his "loyalty" test where he demanded that Isaac execute Ty. The sensible thing would have been to have an ordinary "unit" kill the boy.
I wonder if this sadism is something that Primary learned from his Kaylon builders?
Lastly, something silly. In "New Dimensions" John LaMarr builds a shuttle which is bigger on the inside than the outside. In "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" Isaac invents time travel. Now all we need is Dr Finn to discover the secrets of regeneration and the Orville crew can be the first of a new race of Time Lords!
