Now Bortus and Ed can bond over the fact they are both dads of daughters they fathered with a radically conservative partners who were so stuck in their traditions that they actually abandoned their daughters they consider to be abominations. A rather specific club, isn't it :D.

I was wondering out of the ships on The Orville, which is the most popular on here, so here’s a poll with some of them on. If yours is not on here click other and tell me which one, I’m intrigued.

So I'm watching the Orville, (really good, you all should watch it) and I'm currently at season 2 episode 7.
The comment of Dr. Finn and Isaac having the most stable relationship, despite one of them being a robot, on the ship made me laugh so much.
Just to look at it:
Ed and Kelly literally got divorced before the actual first episode started, and now they are complicated
Ed's only other affair so far was with the gooddamn enemy in disguise from a race where everyone is a religious fanatic
Gordon has no luck at all
Same with Alara, and her only on-screen date was with a guy that Bortus set her up (ordered) with
John seems to very on and off, though je doesn't seem necessarily unhappy (He's busy with his new position I would say)
Kelly did have a more or less successful relationship with the teacher, but seemingly still has to much feelings for Ed cause otherwise I don't think she would have broke up with him
Now the new security chef started something with Locar but they were violently ripped apart before something could even begin (the Moclans are heterophob so to say)
And then we have Bortus and Klyden, who you can sort of count as the second main couple of the show with them literally having a married life and a kid, but there relationship is just very complicated and also very distressed with Klyden being so focused on moclan traditions and Bortus seemingly not being able to fully express his feelings.
So yes. So far the most stable relationship is actually between the ships doctor and the artificial lifeform. And my guess (I saw some spoilers on TikTok already but not much) is that Dr. Finn and Isaac are gonna have a down at some point inbetween but are still gonna end up the most stable couple. Meanwhile Bortus and Klydens marriage is gonna get more stressful, also with what just happened to Locar being imprisoned due to heterosexuality (way to flip the coin through media), and I think (hope, Klyden is toxic) they might brake up. I don't even know about Ed and Kelly. Following classic tropes they could most probably end up together again since they do still love each other, but I would also trust the Orville to trick me.

Something noticed on my most recent Orville rewatch -- in A Tale of Two Topas, when Kelly says that Topa is unhappy, Klyden's response is "All children are unhappy. He will outgrow it." And knowing that Klyden was also surgically altered to conform to his all-male society, that line just hits a little different.
I have to wonder if Klyden experienced the same dysphoria when he was young, knowing that something was wrong but not having any way to express those feelings or even recognize the cause. So instead he just buried it deep down and fully embraced Moclan tradition in the hopes that it would make those feelings go away. It's just an interesting thought, the idea that Klyden was initially so intolerant of Topa being female because he recognized something of himself in her, and that terrified him.

Bortus: We've got to learn to work together.
Klyden: In that case, you need to change your opinion.

I see nobody is talking about that weird moment between Kelly and Bortus. What do you think that was? A one time awkward moment, or will this be a recurring thing? Will they have Bortus have his feelings for Klyden go cold because of his recent dickhead behaviour, and him and Kelly falling in love with each other?

“Back in season 1, I couldn't stand Ed Mercer and Gordon Malloy. Now, I just love all the crew and they had a wonderful evolution specially Gordon. damn, they even managed to make me like Klyden.”
