I don't know, I rather like that the Krill have been shown to be good to their word without having to have it spelled out for us. They will wipe out an entire human settlement, they will send in infiltrators to capture tech or Union officers, but if they arrive under a flag of truce then they honor that. When they picked up Teleya they arrived, took her, and left without a word. To me that seems like something a militant and religious race would embrace, a win for Avis is worth everything except your word which you must always keep.

It's probably not his place to do such an attack without authorization. It would mean all out war. And obviously that's not why he thinks Avis brought them together. Plus, the Kaylon threat is still out there. They retreated but they're robots with large manufacturing capabilities. They'll be back.

We need a spoiler policy season 2 episode 9 Identity II was broadcast in UK this Thursday, earlier in USA, maybe later in other Nations.

If you talk about show in general, no spoilers needed.
Ifn you talk about a recent episode, please put a spoiler specifying episode number and title.

Wow!!! Lots of explosions and political shenanigans.

OK, so the UK is about a week behind as new episodes air Thursdays here in the US.

Well, this episode after Part 2 is a bit filler-y. Nice for there to be a Gordon episode, though.

It does follow on from the 2-parter, it's good to see a show that doesn't just reset or the episodes are interchangeable.

BTW, I am frustrated I cannot buy little ships from The Orville.

I liked "The Blood of Patriots" (a title that means more after you've seen the episode), even if you could see a lot of it coming and if part of the premise was a bit hard to believe. Everyone was relatable, even the ones I disagreed with.

"The Blood of Patriots"
It felt like the treaty was cheapened a little by the sideshow. No actual, difficult negotiations, just something went wrong to add a wrinkle.
