The Orville (season 3): Timmis/K1 kills Kaylons' creators for freedom😂🤣

"The Orville" is an American science fiction comedy-drama television series created by and starring Seth MacFarlane as series protagonist Ed Mercer, an officer in the Planetary Union's line of exploratory space vessels in the 25th century. The show is inspired primarily by the original "Star Trek" and its "Next Generation" successor, both of which it heavily parodies and pays homage to. It follows the crew of the starship USS Orville on their episodic adventures.

I really like how the head cannons make the kaylons go from innocent to terrifying in less than 2 sec.

[EpicNerd]

in this episode, after seeing the kids torture him so mercilessly, when he shot them I was like "yea, fuck dem kids"

[David-zyjw]

One would think the "creators" would be smart enough not to add "death rays" as a feature to slave robots.

I like how we're all debating the ethics of the kaylons killing the builders. I think it's great this show encourages all sorts of discussions from different people.

[StormsparkPegasus]

Actually, the actor that portrayed K1 is the same one that portrays Kaylon Primary, not Timmis. It's not outright stated, but HIGHLY implied that K1 went on to become Primary.

The Kaylon are a lot like the geth from Mass Effect, except that unlike the geth, they didn't feel any uncertainty about the possible repercussions of wiping out an entire biological species. And I guess also the fact that the geth only resorted to violence after the quarians tried to wipe them out, and for a while differentiated between hostile quarians and friendly ones, whereas the Kaylon used violence preemptively and made complete genocide their initial goal.

This is not to say that the Kaylon were necessarily wrong in rebelling against the Builders, but complete and totally indiscriminate genocide of the entire species, children included, and then expanding that policy to all organics, is definitely wrong.

I wonder if this line would’ve been more impactful “If we couldn’t trust the ones who gave us life, why would we believe others who cause many deaths?”

[VitchAndVorty]

I love when shows tell everyone that they mean business.

That's how 'villains' should act: They'd equally hurt or even kill anyone.

[ZephyrBW]

The look on her face is like a wake call, she understands why but doesn’t want to admit it. It’s a honest emotional response we all do but in the end she did do the right thing even, if it still lingers

[mattwho]

In a later episode the Kaylon are confused by the concept of “marriage” and yet right here we see the builders had family units. That suggests the builders operated on the principle of dominance and ownership. He bigger males controlled a family unit, possibly even his mate and children would be deemed “property”. The idea of a partnership of equals seems to be an alien concept to the builders.

As harsh as it was, you could see that K1 did what he did without malice or cruelty. The Kaylon simply came to the quickest logical way to get their freedom.

[USSVTV]

This episode really was SO stellar. I wish this video included the really disgusting scenes with the kaylon creators torturing their creations. Really made you not feel bad for them.

[Clonest]

there's a hilarous blooper for this scene if u look it up, person playing the wife actually hit her head on the bed frame as there supposed to jump back and act dead and soon after she's like looked real didn't it?" 😄

[stevenwongso]

I think Timmis is not K-1. I think K-1 is Kaylon Primary

[Monkey_Slasher]

So much for the 3 laws of robotics. I won't say they didn’t have it coming. But the way they were abused was a bit extreme. I can't imagine a family shelling out all that money for an intelligent domestic robot, then abusing it like that.

[grimshock]

The creators look like Voldemort and Squidward had a baby

[xaviervega]

The Kaylon are not justified in trying to destroy all organic life, but they were 100% justified in destroying their creators.

[vitoldwisniewski]

I'm glad the Kaylons stood up to these creators cause I hated how they disrespected them. If I were to own a Kaylon unit, I would not do what they did.

[oremfrien]

While I agree that those "Builders" who owned or supported the enslavement of the Kaylon are persons that the Kaylons "have permission to kill", I cannot imagine that every person in the "Builder" civilization had Kaylon slaves or believed that such enslavement was legitimate. The closest analog in our world to the Kaylon uprising is the Haitian Revolution and even in the 1804 Massacre, where Dessalines ordered the execution of all Whites on the island, he gave special clemency to the Polish residents on the island -- claiming them to be different from the French colonizers. Surprisingly, I never see any discussion of this issue.

We finally got to see what the Builders look like!
