Bortus went full on beast mode. That pain stick didn't even slow him down. Just waved it off and continued pummeling on the guy. The scene was pure gold.
Could tell, yes. Cheered and clapped as he pounded the arrogance out of that scumbag, hell yes. My only issue with the Orville is that there isn't more of it.
I love seeing Moclans be violent since their society and world essentially demanded aggression, strength, and survival above all else. But what I really love about this scene is how Bortus’ aggression was for a righteous act as fatherly protection and love Edit: Better Wording
As a Father with a Daughter of my own, this whole arc hit me hard, but I felt this scene in particular all the way to the most primal parts of my being. That terror, rage, and heartbreak at the notion of somebody inflicting such pain and suffering onto *MY* child was just so...visceral. This scene reinforced the knowledge that, were I ever to discover someone was intentionally causing harm to my child, in an effort to cause incredible pain and suffering, I would tear them apart, piece by piece, with my bear hands... Even my teeth. There is no feeling more primal, for any parent, but especially a father - as the protector and provider of his family - than that. This arc solidified Bortus as my favorite character in the show.
thats what everyone says. then they do fuckall when their kids get molested, murdered, tortured, etc. every single time. 1 person out of every few thousand instances like this, is actually man enough to do what needs doing.
I think the only rational reactions are to immediately move your child to safety and to tear apart anything threatening them. In either order depending on the threat level in the situation. The only thing more terrifying than something happening to you is something happening to a loved one, especially your own child or a child you consider to be your own.
Yes he alway advocated for his daughter from day one and I feel like he never stopped viewing her as his daughter even when tops was made to become a boy.
This is by far my most favorite Bortus scene. We've seen Bortus remain stoic, show sadness and regret, even raise his voice from time to time, but to see him snap like that was exciting and shocking. They tortured his child, there was NO way he was going to let them get away with that. This was righteous vengeance.
Now I understand that despite their goofy rituals, Moclans can be as violent and deadly as the Klingons. We knew how vengeful Worf was when his beloved was killed (RIP Duras and Gowron). And now we know Bortus could be as vengeful if someone dare to kidnap his daughter....
This is not just the moment that Bortus lost his temper. It's the one in which he truly found it. That is the symbolism shown in dropping the instrument of torture designed by his own people, and picking up his Union-issued rifle. It shows where his loyalties truly lies.
Given what he was doing, NOTHING about him was GOOD. But one eye was still WORKING. Bortus took care of that latter, obviously unwarranted condition. There is that moment when Bortus starts to turn away but then the rage hits. At that moment, he is in full berserker mode and the inquisitor became lucky that Bortus brought along an external conscience in the form of Kelly Grayson. Otherwise, that inquisitor would probably have been torn apart.
Glad I'm not the only one who watched it with a malicious grin on my face. I know Bortus is Topa's dad, but he laid her egg and kept it warm for 21 days to help her develop enough to hatch. Even if Klyden did a bunch of the raising afterwards, Bortus did the Moclan equivalent of pregnancy and childbirth. I'm female, so I don't know how dads feel firsthand, but I don't see just my kid when I look at them, I remember the fluttering of them in my womb that later turned to kicks, and I remember the trauma of bringing them into the world that I endured just to meet them. I remember everything that came after too of course, but our history goes back farther than birth. I feel a primal need to destroy anything that hurts the being I made with my own body. It has nothing to do with vengeance, just the biological need to remove the threat to my offspring. I can kind of imagine Bortus feeling the same way, remembering when he grew and laid her egg and went broody. Then feeling that same need to remove the threat forever.
When he looked up and said "did you do this to her...?" I got chills. I felt that scene...being a father to 2 girls myself, I don't think even my commander would stop me lol
@@loganfu4035 The only problem is Bortus would almost definitely be attracted to Worf. So that might be a source of tension because Worf is definitely cis. If Bortus was content to keep it platonic they'd probably be sword brothers.
Agreed on both points, though that tension would get brought up and cleared up, leading to them being sword brothers. Not to mention Bortus and Klyden having, seemingly, worked things out after Topi got tortured and all.
When I saw this scene and Topa walked towards Kelly and they start fighting, I knew: "You don't stand a chance against the father whose daughter you tortured."
Parental rage in defensive of ones child is indescribable, as there is nothing short of their own death that would be able to stop them no matter the enemy. By grapthar's hammer you shall be Avenged"
Same goes for me. And in his place I would not rely on official justice either. That guy would lose both eyes, both ears, both arms and all three legs. #DadMode
I can’t help but appreciate how they had the courage to really go there with the abduction scenario and show the horror Topa had to go through while Disney totally lamed out with kid Leia on Obi Wan. Even Topa’s capture was handled so much more realistically than what Disney did with grown men stumbling around trying to catch Leia. And when Topa is finally rescued it truly means something whereas I just didn’t care on Obi Wan.
@@keiz5052 They'd have to be. Their idea of foreplay is chasing their mate down and physically subduing him, all the while dealing with a massive anticipation boner.
I think what makes this scene for me is how horrifying the torturer's screams are when Bortus strikes him in the eye with it. He was given all the horrifying pain his victims had to go through.
If I was heading a tribunal over this dude's actions I'd take statements just so that I could listen to the Moclans embarrass themselves and then spend the whole trial ripping their entire culture a new one.
- Bortus deserves better than an unfaithful woman like Kelly. The moclans divorce via murder though, so maybe thats the only kind of relatinship where she might be capable behaving and maintaining trust.
@@Babidi111 technically...she wasn't really unfaithful. It is explained later in the series that the guy she slept with is from a species (Retepsians) that secrete hormones when they are in heat and other species whether male or female are unable to resist...even other Retepsians are unable to resist when they are in heat. So in a way it wasn't her fault. Even Ed was susceptible to the hormonal secretion as he ended up sleeping with the guy too.
The way that moclan general hit the ground after being shot was so realistic! He fell hard! And the acting was stellar, especially by Peter Macon. But also the young woman who plays Topa.
I will say the actor for Bortus did a great job bringing that "There's nothing you can do to stop this ass whopping" energy. You can see in his eyes at the 0:33 mark, you can see the intensity in his eyes as they briefly dart away in anger, his body trembling with raw emotion. I do feel the music could've been a bit less present in this scene but overall Peter Macon did an awesome job.
This whole episode was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. As a father of 6 sons, granddad two wonderful girls, a war veteran and dynamic Catholic whose baseline personality is patient, calm, peaceful - I understood every righteous violence for what the Bortus character did in retaliation to his daughter. After all he's sacrificed since Topa was an egg. The man sacrificed his marriage, put his career on the line, and fought an entire society who looks down on your child --- yeah it would take my wife to pull from the brink of murdering the interrogator and all who was involved with hurting my child. #DEMANDSEASON4 #ORVILLEREUP I can see at least 4more seasons with this writing and acting. The Krill Dark Space may have a shadow enemy amassing, the Krill masters may not be all dead - there may be colonies of them out there, and the all female ruled world can add more tension.
@@missssophisicated6742 what does that have to do with this episode? But I do not hide that I am glad the SC overturned it. Now it is back in the hands of the states and the people of that state. Not 9 Judges. Democrats had 49 years to pass a federal law to secure it and they never did.
i liked how nothing was said to bortus to make him react. Usually in movies and tv in similar moments the bad guy says something while the heroes are leaving and that causes one of the heroes to attack the bad guy
For anyone who's played the Mass Effect 2 "Overlord" DLC, there's a point at the end where pistol-whipping an unarmed scientist is the Paragon option interrupt because what he did was so heinous that even the most paragon Shepard is entirely justified in smacking him around. This scene, yeah, Commander Shepard approves.
Ian Quinn. That scene where Skye (Daisy) was shot broke my heart, and in a fanfiction story, it was used when my character was shot by a Hydra scientist, and Daisy kills him. (P.S. My character is made inhuman due to using the same drug that saved Daisy, then I was tortured and experimented on by Hydra.

And what was that moment between Grayson and bortus. I'm hoping they explore that avenue . Although with Clayton being back they might pull it back until the season finale. Sorta felt like a Worf o did n and dax moment that
It wasn’t a moment they’re just good friends who truly bonded. A moment between male and female doesn’t have to be romantic nor does it make sense for Kelly and Bortus to be romantically involved they’re just great friends even family by Bortus’ own words
That's what bothers me about our society, because they're all kind of pissed off somewhere Why do such emotions only show through action? We should really become more sensitive to emotions, we all felt totally insensitive
I don’t think I’ll have the balls to make someone fully blind because you just took away their vision. They can’t see the beautiful sunset and some art
Is there a budding romance between Kelly and Bortus on the Horizon ? I’m glad Klydon came back and put things right with Topa. This was top notch drama all round. Orville is going where Star Trek are failing to go. And as a series has totally won me over heart and soul.
Bortus went full on beast mode. That pain stick didn't even slow him down. Just waved it off and continued pummeling on the guy. The scene was pure gold.

Could tell, yes. Cheered and clapped as he pounded the arrogance out of that scumbag, hell yes.
My only issue with the Orville is that there isn't more of it.
Absolutely! I can even pinpoint the exact time! His eyes narrowed in hatred before that, but in my opinion, he didn’t fully snap until 0:32.
Its the Kubrik Stare effect
He's a steller actor like the rest of the cast
@@SpectacularDisasterhe imagined his own children in that situation
If I were Commander Grayson, I'd be like "Bortus!....Make it fast but do it right."
Nah I would have been like "I'm going to check on Topa's wounds" and take Topa around the corner for a couple of minutes.
they weren’t going to make Topas death fast
Make it fast make it HURT!
Use that pain stick on his groin for maximum pain. Make the bastard suffer.
No one would have blamed Grayson for simply taking Topa round the corner.
I love how Topa seems completely fine with that, like if she wasnt in pain, she'd probably be cheering.
I mean, who wouldn't be happy when they see their torturer and potential murderer being absolutely destroyed?

"You don't stand a chance against the father whose daughter you tortured."
Let's be real, we all wanted Bortus to keep going.
Kelly - be quiet. The Bortus is delivering justice
Any father, mother, aunt, uncle hell grandparent even who's child is hurt .
Very few mothers are in any way capable of what Bortus did they'd be mad but they lack the physical capacity.
@@Hakar17 I've seen moms turn absolutely feral when their children get hurt or mistreated. Don't underestimate mama bears.
Everyone has a breaking point and seeing his child hurt was the breaking point, the final stone that broke down the wall releasing raw emotion.

Same goes for me. And in his place I would not rely on official justice either. That guy would lose both eyes, both ears, both arms and all three legs. #DadMode
Three seasons of frustration, anger and hurt and Bortus just unloaded all of it into this bastard's eye socket. Perfect.
Fuck Spartan rage. Bortus got him some pure dad rage.
Also its amazing that even through all the prosthetic that the Moclans can show such expression.

Bortus would defend any of his crew to the end. But for his daughter, savage.
he took that guys sight with his own torture device. the most badass scene in the whole show.

It wasn’t a moment they’re just good friends who truly bonded. A moment between male and female doesn’t have to be romantic nor does it make sense for Kelly and Bortus to be romantically involved they’re just great friends even family by Bortus’ own words
@@Noname-gm5om nah there was definitely a Moment in that episode. Whether it goes anywhere though is a mystery
@@Synthonym no it’s not Bortus still loves klyden men and women can have moments without being romantic
Kelly became a mentor and surrogate mother to topa
Moclan Raging Hulk Mode...ACTIVATED!
Oh fuck yes
This is one of the first times I've ever seen bortus this pissed off
That's what bothers me about our society, because they're all kind of pissed off somewhere
Why do such emotions only show through action? We should really become more sensitive to emotions, we all felt totally insensitive
Dayum! Pain stick in the eye! Bortus is seriously pissed.
All the dads watched this with their fists balled and nostrils flared.
I like how he sorts buddy out. Brutally.
Bortus is my favorite character in the whole show
I don’t think I’ll have the balls to make someone fully blind because you just took away their vision. They can’t see the beautiful sunset and some art
The fury of a father!! He was kinder than I would have been in that situation.
Moral of the story, NEVER mess with a dads kid
Kelly...bortus stand down!! Bortus...hold my beer
Is there a budding romance between Kelly and Bortus on the Horizon ? I’m glad Klydon came back and put things right with Topa. This was top notch drama all round. Orville is going where Star Trek are failing to go. And as a series has totally won me over heart and soul.
There is no rage greater or more terrifying than that of a parent whose child has been harmed.
Gives "an eye for an eye" a whole new meaning when i comes to bortus
But the Moclan patriot using necessary enhanced interrogation techniques on an enemy combatant didn't take an eye.
