Added DiffLines:

* TooMuchInformation: Christie quickly regrets asking Isaac about Claire's interests:
--> '''Isaac''': Her recreational interests include music, dancing, fine dining, rain showers, and sexual relations. Her preferred mating positions include...
--> '''Christie''': Whoa, that's ''plenty'' helpful, Isaac, thank you.

* InferredHolocaust: While a number is never given for how many crew were lost, Talla took down 6 in the cargo bay, with another dozen or so taken out by the security team, and with several others throughout the ship, it can be inferred that a significant portion of the ship's 300 person crew count was converted into the insects.

Added DiffLines:

* AmicableExes: Claire is content to be this with Admiral Christie, even though he clearly wants to try and restart their relationship.


Added DiffLines:

* DeathOfPersonality: While the converted crewmembers are ''technically'' still alive, their minds and bodies are irreversibly altered, meaning that who they used to be is gone forever.

* TheWorfEffect: Talla has some trouble fighting the alien creatures, which shows how much of a threat they are that even a Xeleyan has trouble putting them down. Downplayed, in that Talla is clearly quite stronger than they are and does win the fight, but their tenacity, the danger of being infected by their venom spray, and the fact that they're mutated crew members that could theoretically be restored to normal keeps Talla from engaging as seriously as she might have otherwise.

Even so, she still kills a few of them before she is able to disengage and take one to sickbay.

* EveryoneHasStandards: The Krill aren't fond of other species, and it's been made clear by many of their officials that they have no interest in a long-term treaty with the Union. But when they learn that the ''Orville'' intends to travel into the Expanse, they are horrified at the thought of what might happen to them (believing that the area is full of soul-sucking demons), to the point that one of them even prays for their safety.



* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Since the alien infection is biological, it would've made perfect sense to send Isaac in to gather samples/information. Since he is not a biological being, he could not be infected. Somehow, noone thinks to do this.

Added DiffLines:

* FailsafeFailure: Subverted, to horrifying effect. It appears that in the event of a ship wide power outage, all the doors lock open, to prevent anyone from being trapped in a crisis. The flipside of this is that it allows the aliens total access to the ship.

Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When the ''Orville'' crew mention that they are looking to explore the Kalarr Expanse, the Krill show uncharacteristic concern for their safety, warning them that there are dangers there (phrased within the language of their religion) and that it is so horrible there that the normally fearless Krill will not venture into the area, not even to rescue them as part of the new treaty.

* ViralTransformation: Indicated to be how the aliens naturally reproduce. They broadcast distress signals from a large space station, drawing unsupecting ships in, and then infect anyone who comes aboard with spores that rewrite their entire genetic code. Once one is completely transformed, they will proceed to hunt down, and spew a more concentrated version of the spores onto a victim, transforming them as well. One of the alien ships will then come, and collect the transformed crews. Clarie compares the aliens, in this regard, to parasites, taken to extreme.

Added DiffLines:

* LossOfIdentity: People transformed into the aliens lose any semblance of their past selves, and are replaced by a single minded drive to assimilate others. It's suggested though, that enough of Admiral Christie's past personality is still in him that he's able to be reasoned with.
