![]() ![]() Janel Tyler (Michaela McManus) watch Yul Brynner in "The King and I," which is where the episode title "Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes” comes from. When she learned of a Krill plan to capture the captain of a Planetary Union starship, she volunteered for the mission.Ĭapt. Apparently, Teleya was tortured by the Planetary Union - which seems odd you'd think they'd be above that sort of thing - but she escaped back to Krill space. Suddenly, this episode takes a turn for the very serious and indeed the rather dark. However, the facts that the story arc was relatively recent and both altered subjects are called Tyler is probably going to cause a bit of a commotion online for a while. The impersonation trope is familiar in TV sci-fi: In "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," Dukat was a Bajoran in much of Season 7 "Star Trek: Voyager" had Seeska and even in "The Original Series" the Klingon Arne Darvin was surgically altered to appear human - a forerunner to the events of "Star Trek: Discovery" where the Klingon Voq was also altered to appear human and then assumed the identity of a captured Starfleet officer, Lt. Who'd have thought?! Except, she hasn't been wearing any kind of projection device, she underwent surgery: an extremely painful trans-cellular micro-grafting procedure that offered the only way to fool the Orville's bio-scanners. The answer is…yes, it is indeed the same character! Holy holograms. Has she been wearing a similar personal projector and successfully remained aboard the Orville all this time without detection? Has Mercer been snogging a Krill the past few days? The Krill female is Teleya, the teacher aboard the Krill cruiser that Malloy and Mercer infiltrated in the Season 1 episode "Krill" (S01, E06) wearing personal holographic projectors in what started as a peaceful attempt to learn more about the Krill and their sacred book of Anhkana. Is there some secret Krill-human subterfuge at work? The crazy thing is, she's played by Michaela McManus, the same actor who is playing Lt. Tharl, the interim Security Chief you love to hate (Image credit: Fox) Then something a little crazy happens: A female Krill enters the prison cell and tells Mercer how much she has been looking forward to this moment. While undergoing a digital Rorschach test, he freaks out and says that he'd really rather not say what each shape reminds him of … so the good doctor instead suggests that they move on to the simulator test.Įach subplot scene lasts only seconds before it cuts back to the Krill ship, so that's clearly where the focus is. Meanwhile, the first step to Malloy's first command is a medical and psychological evaluation by Dr. "Alpha Charlie, 27 Gamma 42 Delta 6…" Mercer says, sighing. As a further incentive, he's shown Tyler being tortured. In a cell aboard the Krill cruiser, Mercer is being threatened with torture unless he hands over his command codes so that the Krill commander can access the Planetary Union deployment strategies or some such thing. Aboard the Orville, Malloy announces to Grayson that he'd like to be put forward for the shipmaster qualification program. ![]()
