That's Klyden, right? Is he now a regular on the show? They use him enough, he should be by now. Yes, this is Bortus' mate. They just said he would be returning. Here he is in a deleted scene from The Orville episode: A Happy Refrain (Season 2, Episode 6). -
I looked at this the same way that we model our climate maps, the climatologist can predict where the storm is headed but don't have enough data or computer power to predict what will happen if certain variables get changed. A logical step might have been to allocate more resources to the study in an attempt to stave off the the oncoming unrest by a couple of millennia. The longer you can hold it off the better Psychohistory might become at predicting a more favorable outcome.

HOTD In The Media: News From The Citadel
AnimeMania replied to Meredith Quill's topic in House Of The Dragon
Quick cast check: Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen. Viserys was chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal. A warm, kind, and decent man, Viserys only wishes to carry forward his grandfather's legacy, but as we've learned from Game of Thrones, good men do not necessarily make for great kings. Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower. She's the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen. Emma D'Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. The king's first-born child. She is of pure Valyrian blood, and she is a dragonrider. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything... but she was not born a man. Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen. The younger brother of King Viserys and heir to the throne, Daemon is a peerless warrior and a dragonrider who possesses the true blood of the dragon. But it is said that whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin in the air... Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon aka "The Sea Snake." The lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen, "The Sea Snake," is the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros. He built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world. Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Velaryon. A dragonrider and wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, "The Queen Who Never Was" was passed over as heir to the throne at the Great Council because the realm favored her cousin, Viserys, simply for being male. Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, who loyally and faithfully serves both his king and his realm. As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king's brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne. Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria. She came to Westeros with nothing, sold more times than she can recall, and could have wilted...but instead she rose to become the most trusted - and most unlikely - ally of Prince Daemon Targaryen, the heir to the throne. Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole. Of Dornish descent, Ser Criston is the common-born son of the steward to the Lord of Blackhaven. He has no claim to land or titles; all he has to his name is his honor and his preternatural skill with a sword. Milly Alcock as Young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. She's the king's first-born child, of pure Valyrian blood, and she is a dragonrider. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything...but she was not born a man. Emily Carey will play Young Alicent Hightower, the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. Alicent was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen. Ryan Corr as Ser Harwin 'Breakbones' Strong. Harwin is said to be the strongest man in the Seven Kingdoms. Ser Harwin is the eldest son to Master of Laws Lyonel Strong and heir to Harrenhal. Jefferson Hall is Lord Jason Lannister, the Lord of Casterly Rock and twin to Ser Tyland Lannister. He also. plays Tyland Lannister, a crafty and calculating politician, twin to Lord Jason Lannister. David Horovitch as Grand Maester Mellos. He's a voice of reason and trusted advisor to King Viserys. Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling. Ser Harrold has served in the Kingsguard since the days of King Jaehaerys; he is a paragon of chivalry and honor. Matthew Needham as Larys Strong. The younger son of Master of Laws Lyonel Strong, he's brought to court by his father. Bill Paterson plays Lord Lyman Beesbury, the Lord of Honeyholt and Master of Coin on King Viserys's small council. Gavin Spokes is Lord Lyonel Strong. He's Master of Laws to King Viserys and Lord of Harrenhal. There will also be around 17 dragons of various colors with very distinct personalities. -

So by spacers, you mean the creatures that were putting people to sleep when they were using the jumpdrive? All robots are outlawed? That would make things way more complicated, especially as far as maintenance goes. Thanks you not giving away too many details.

My thoughts: I was not fond of this episode the pacing was too slow, why try to make me care about the characters now, after convincing me that the things that they accomplish in the long term are way more important than their day to day existence. I could also use some world building, this show is a bout a galaxy and everything that happens is confined to the Empire Palace and a spaceship. The Empire (Dawn, Day, Dusk) refer to each other as brothers. Day seems to have all of the authority, they are not equals, Dusk must have a lot of resentment that his suggestions are completely dismissed by Day and society. What is Dusk's purpose, he seems to be reaching the end on his usefulness. Do they really have to train each clone to replace their successor, that seems inefficient, maybe have multiple copies of each clone in case of accident. Maybe those personal force fields help to stave off most accidents. The Empire seems to have no need of a female companion i.e. Queen. Everyone who gets pregnant on the spaceship has the embryo removed and stored to be resumed once they hit planet fall. Would this make a generation of people on the planet all around the same age? It would make education and reproduction easier if everyone was at the same developmental stages at the same time. They probably don't want to waste the ships limited resources on people incapable of pulling her own weight (pregnant women and babies). Demerzel seems to be running about a quart low. That might explain how she will be able to remains in the story through the entire timeline. I am guessing Demerzel will relate to the AI sympathizers that Hari mentioned earlier. Their really is no fluff in the story, every scene has a meaning. This may be the biggest flaw in the TV Series since if we never get to see what society is like, we can never get to see what people might be rebelling against. How can we pick a side if we are not familiar with either side. The Empire is attacked and they spend months trying to figure out who did it. How can they be so slow. It is probably just for the story's benefit, but how can one incident take up so much of the Empire's time, learn to delegate, get a team of advisors and administrators to oversee the day to day running of the galaxy so that (Dawn, Day, Dusk) might focus on the general direction they wish the galaxy to go in. The show seems to be lacking in the costume department, since everyone seems to be wearing some slight variation of what they always wear. Also there seems to be a lack of variation in the status of the people we encounter, most appear to be lower working class and we are missing the higher working and the ruling elite classes. Style, color and crazy futuristic designs would give the show some flair and break up the monotony. This episode's story crawled at a snail's pace compared to the last episode. The minutiae of the effort put forth with the day to day of the Empire and on the spaceship, contrasted with how the bold decisive concluding actions pretty much erased all of the progress that had been made up to this point. Maybe the lesson from this episode is it is easier to destroy something than it is to build something. I don't know why we spent so much time on the spaceship and the integration if they were not going be to so callously erased in the end. Hari totally orchestrated that terrorist attack, didn't he?

My thoughts: Thoroughly engaging and thought provoking story telling. There was no fluff or flash, just solid, well founded exposition. I can see why this is hard to produce for TV since none of the characters live long enough to drive the story to its conclusion. You become attached to the characters, but their part in the story is small, you wish to see what happens to them yet the scope of the story leaves no room for the vagaries of an individual's existence when contemplating time measured in the spans of Empires. This story is just the visual definition of "Entropy", in a battle between chaos and order, chaos will always win in the end. Order requires way too much energy to be sustained forever. Is every person in the galaxy essentially (human) humanoid? I am guessing that those long necked creatures in the spaceship were some form of robot, even though they might have been a slightly different(genetically modified) species of living beings capable of withstanding the rigors "jumpdrive" travel. Why does anybody close to the Empire rulers who read Hari die while everybody else in the galaxy know of him and are fine. How does Hari continue to operate, it seems with the Empire's approval, if they feel he is such a threat. How has his ideas been propagated throughout the galaxy, doesn't the Empire control all major communication pathways. Why is the Empire stupid enough to live broadcast his trial across the galaxy, everyone seeing one man stand up to the Empire will undermine it's authority. Hopefully they will allow a live broadcast delay so that they don't air the seditious bits, then again, maybe not. When Gaal and Raych were walking to the Imperial Library it looked like it was raining. Does it rain on the inside of a planet? It seems inefficient, inconvenient, and wasteful. Is every person in the galaxy essentially (human) humanoid? I am guessing that those long necked creatures in the spaceship were some form of robot, even though they might have been a genetically modified human or a different species of living beings. How did Gaal get all those fancy outfits for her trial if she doesn't have any luggage, especially ones fine enough to appear before the "Masters of the Universe". They mentioned "Abraxas was the bait" and I couldn't remember what Abraxas was. After "Googling" it, I have come to believe that it was an equation that was made up for this TV show that Gaal solved to be noticed by Hari. I am pretty sure that is what it was and hopefully it will get more "Google" hits after the episode airs so other can remember easier.

I think the production was shut down for COVID and they didn't get to finish the final episode of Season 2. So, this was a end to Season 2, while preparing us for Season 3, episode. I thought they did a pretty good job for an episode that was a smidgen longer than what is normal. They probably cut out some of the fluffy feel good moments to keep it tight. It might have been nice to know if Rita was in the audience to watch the play, even if she were no longer in the play. It would have let us know if she still considered the fellow actors as friends. They may have changed the play to make the Blob-Lady more of a hero instead of a monster.

Of course he does. The full hookups would have come before the deck. Millions of people spend their summers in just such set-ups. I took it as a sign that he’s more comfortable outdoors than in. If it makes you feel any better, the shape and color was trying to give the impression of a top of the line (albeit “vintage”) travel trailer. I still don't think that Elena is going to be happy having dinner and a movie at his place.

Only Speculation Without Spoilers In the Thread
AnimeMania replied to shapeshifter's topic in Only Murders In The Building
I thought that means when Mabel sees him just keep walking because Tim Kono wants nothing to do with her. Zoe steals the green ring just because she wanted it. (Insert anybody's name in the building) sees Zoe wearing the green ring which they know belongs to them or someone in their family After pulling the green ring off Zoe's finger, Zoe falls off the building Somehow that person is the Shady Black Market Jewelry Fence or sold the green ring to them. They are running out of episodes, wasting entire episodes on Sting and Detective Williams, we need them to focus on more real suspects. -

It was stupid, but I did laugh at the stage donkey's jet of air when Rita changed. Poor fake blob-lady, I hope nobody believes that the real blob-lady got revenge for making fun of her, since everybody knows who Rita is now. The extra, Doom Patrol: Inside S3.E1: Digging Deep Into the Doom Patrol was a total waste of time. It had no depth or insight.
