The Orville

So this guy saved her from the infected people, and gave her clean food and water, and kept her locked in so she didn't try to escape or kill him. For all she knew he was a kind-hearted person just trying to give her time to acclimate and get used to him. Yet she fucking shot him. With a gun, not a phaser set on stun. Shot him dead.

Fuck that bitch, he should have left her to die.

Or, he captured her, was lonely so kept her for company, gave her food to keep her alive and imprisoned her in his tower of doomsday prepping.
Nice guys don't lock you up against your will in the guise of helping you.

My "roommate" in my basement would like to have a word with you.

No, but seriously, he didn't do anything overtly worth being killed over. Tied up while she escaped, sure, maybe. Ok, let's be realistic for a minute, while I'm bored at work. She's obviously not sick from the bad water, and since he knew where the wreckage of her part of the ship was, he could fairly easily surmise that she might not be from this planet, or at least not from this region. She even admits that she has no idea what is going on, and supposedly this poison is world-wide. So she's probably alone (no one else at crash site he found), doesn't know about all the hazards of the crazy cannibals and the poison water, and he knows practically nothing about her or her culture. He also doesn't necessarily know when she is going to wake up, and he might be out foraging when she does. And after she woke up, she certainly didn't say anything that would have made me trust her enough to just let her roam around unsupervised in the place that was literally keeping me safe from crazy cannibals.

He even went and got the medicine she claimed she needed. Nor did he do anything overtly creepy. Sure, he might have intended to keep her as a sex slave, but he gave no indication of that, and he very well might have just been being cautious in case she was violent or insane or infected by the water but just not showing it yet. He was not doing anything crazy other than keeping her in a locked room, maybe until he was sure she wasn't a threat to him or herself. Which he was 100% correct to do, as proven by the fact that instead of just threatening him with the gun and locking him up or something while she escaped, she just straight up murdered him. There's pretty much nothing I can think of that makes that the correct solution for someone that was so adamant about only stunning the crazy cannibals, as opposed to restraining him or knocking him out (she's a doctor, they seem to have knockout needles on hand!) or something other than murdering him. I mean, if she didn't care about killing anyone at all, then sure, what's another one? But she clearly told her kid they don't kill.

I already hated the doctor. Now she's a cold-blooded murdering hypocrite too. You can keep her Niddles~ Just don't raise your voice to her kids, she'll probably gank you.

Meh, all I know is mothers do anything for their kids, and this dude was keeping her from her kids. She asked to be let go and he refused. Looks to me like she was immune to Stockholms Syndrome more than anything.

So what you're saying is, you support BMWMGSLM?

That's Black Mothers Who Murder Good Samaritans Lives Matter, FYI.

If the show lasts a few seasons, the older kid will be the next wesley crusher. Son of the doctor, self absorbed brat who just had some character growth. It all tracks. Next thing you know he'll be studying really hard so he can get into the academy and along the way he will come up with the idea to blast the aliens with a tachyon burst and save the ship because they just learned about those in class.

I was thinking the doc would at least have a moment of reflection on killing that guy. Sometime at the end of the episode maybe. Nope, no fucks given.
