The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 10 Review: Future Unknown
Finales are really tricky when a show is in limbo and doesn’t know if they’re just closing out a season or if it’s curtains for the series.
With The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 10, Seth MacFarlane and his team seem prepared to call it a good run, tying things off in a charming and unambiguous way.
To be sure, they’ve left plenty of narrative possibilities on the table for a potential Season 4, but they didn’t risk leaving viewers hanging here if the renewal doesn’t materialize.
Not only do they provide the happiest of conclusions for Isaac and Dr. Finn — one that heralds many future domestic joys and challenges — they bookend a season that opened on the post-Kaylon battle trauma with an unqualified demonstration of reconciliation.
I’ve had my issues with the mechanics of Dr. Finn and Isaac’s romance, but if this is the story TPTB want to tell, I’ve resigned myself to appreciating the complications inherent in the relationship as a metaphor for the acceptance neurodivergent individuals deserve in our society.
