For anyone who hasn’t seen the whole episode, when Isaac commits suicide he makes a recording telling the crew on how to make the Orville as efficient as possible, trying to do as much as he possibly can after he’s dead. In his own way he wrote a suicide note, it’s haunting.

It's subtext through and through.

The way being around Dr. Fin literally alters his programming so he no longer functions without her, how protective he is of her children, how much he wants to be accepted by the crew... The way his entire race could no longer deal with the weight of slavery. He is an emotional being, his emotions are just different than biological ones.

What I appreciate about this scene is that it would have been really easy in the hands of a less capable writer to make it so Isaac suddenly had an emotional response despite everything we’ve learned. Instead he doesn’t. He remains the same emotionless machine that came to, in his mind, a very logical mechanical conclusion that followed his Kaylon programming. When a program or aspect of a machine is unable to adequately perform it’s function, or worse actually detrimentally affects the system as a whole, it must be deleted. Here, thanks to Dr. Finn, we see him take a large step towards understand what being human means. It means that you must always consider the possibility of change. There is no way of knowing with certainty what the future may hold, no matter your degree of intelligence. For all those that struggle with their place in the world today. Never forget that the future can always ALWAYS be better. Please don’t give up.

That's something that separates him from the other Kaylons. They decided to go to war with life because they couldn't see their future dealings with biological being any different than what they'd had in the past. They had no hope.

What a tear-jerker. Season 3 made me bawl more times than the first 2 seasons combined. It packed an emotional wallop and pierced you right through the heart. Seth is such a genius! I admire him so much!

In other words, "All good things come to an end."

Hmm! Interesting. A lack of emotions can be construed as feelings. Isaac does regret the actions but has no direct context of examination of this! Hence his attempt to take his own life.

hearing dr claire's speech about people who take their own lives not being able to see change in the future made me cry. ive been feeling despondent about my own life for a while and that gave me hope.

I don’t care what anyone says, if you are sentient you are capable of feeling emotions on some level. And I think Isaac is proof of that. he’s just learning how to deal with it. He doesn’t understand emotions because they’re new to him. And I think the fact that he nearly committed suicide is proof of the fact that he’s not just some sentient AI robot that he really is an individual capable of all the same things the other living beings in this show are.

If Isaac didn't see hope for a future with organic life and the Kaylon before, he does now.

This is a deeply heretical and interesting conversation. I have seen only a few other people try to argue that sometimes decisions we assume are inherently bad such as suicide, to continue an addiction, or to commit violence can be perfectly logical and sensible within the framework of a person's experience. When you discount the experience that supports the logic of the decision, you have no hope of understanding why the person made that decision.

There is a famous book. It’s title is “Suicide isn’t the answer. Until it is.” None of us are born on purpose. Everybody dies. Who the hell decided that choosing to die on your own terms was a bad idea? When did it become a legal matter? How did that even happen? I was not consulted when I was born. How is it bad, if I choose to opt out? People take their own lives, more men than women, statistically. That right there says a lot. Suicide isn’t a subject that should be taboo or swept under the rug. It’s more important to learn to understand the feelings that lead to the decision, than to make people feel less for thinking about doing it… like they need more to stress about. Food for thought. And yes, I have survived an attempt. The only real reason I am still here is because people who cared about me got me to the hospital in time. Some days… I still wish they had not.

I think the decision to carry on living should entirely be in the hands of each individual, though that desire has certain predicates: First of all, that counselling be readily available to those who seek it as part of any nation's health service. Taking your own life is a single decision that negates all other potential ones, it shouldn't be something to be taken lightly or seen as an easy fix to solvable problems. I also am a survivor of suicide, and I can tell you the driving force I have behind my current desire to live is the knowledge that it is a choice I have made. At any moment I can choose otherwise, and every day I choose to live. Those who have never honestly considered suicide simply can't understand the power that knowledge can give a person: that I live at my own behest, not anyone else's. Every breath I breathe, every sunset I witness is a choice I've made to keep walking forwards. To keep finding new experiences, meeting new people and battling new demons. Take pride in your life, and accept your death. Since my own moment at the bridge, that's always been what keeps me going.

Self-killing _is_ a personal decision, and you shouldn't be denied the right to it; that being said, for the most part, we would all rather you stick with us.

I needed to hear this at the time it aired. I was going through a low point and she logically tore through the emotional conclusions I was reaching.

I love her. So much.

As someone who has struggled with doubts of my autism. Isaac, Legion, and Data have given me great insight into how I think and operate and how my presence or lack there of effects others. I have committed to pure pathos at times through logic to try and quell the emotions around my pain. Suicide to me has always been more of an open philosophy than something tragic. This person was of sound mind when they chose that end. It's not to dismiss the value of their life but to respect the control they had over their own fate. I don't think it kind or respectable to dismiss the courage of that decision. Sure we can be there for the ones we love but their path is their own. I will be saddened but if that is what they wish and go on without me there is nothing I can do but respect that choice if it can't be stopped or assisted in the direction of living. It's good to go on living but I won't shame someone for being tired or wanting a sense of finalization to their experience. I only hope they can see there is much more and that the logic even we attribute in our suicidal tendencies are not perfectly sound. Keep living, if you want, the choice is yours.

The living can't understand the pain of the dead,just like the dead cannot understand the pain of the living. No living being should have to be forced to live in the pain of life, just to maybe be pain free later. I feel the same way with people who have to have assistance to live their lives, and cannot find care, they need to know they can die if it gets to be too painful. Trapped in your head unable to move your own body or say anything must be an agonizing existence.

Isaac doesn't understand the question because to him, the question doesn't make sense in the context of _Isaac._ Everyone knows Isaac has nothing akin to an emotional framework - and yet, he's tried to kill himself, usually understood to be a decision based almost entirely on emotion. So even if the question doesn't make sense, it must be asked. How are you feeling? _How_ are _you_ feeling?

Youll notice that Isaac, the Kaylon android who can do statistical analysis near instantly, still says "im sure this has reduced their efficacy." When if he really was certain, he would say "there has been a %20 decrease in efficiency." Dude is literally a victim suffering from pathological self esteem issues and i hate that this is so accurate to real suicidal ideation.

Claire Finn is the most brillant character in all of sci fi!!! I want to kill myself everyday!! That's why I keep replaying this clip!!

Yeah, thats the general sentiment.

There are plenty of permanent problems.

This is heresy!

Yep. This is a Star Trek parody. When did Star Trek talk about suicide?

Is it a conflict of interest when the doctor and the patient are dating?

I wouldn't call it a conflict of interest. Could certainly affect the doctor's judgment, but it's not like anything shady's going on.

Intriguing.

I get why Finn is saying what she's saying and where it's coming from, and she is right in this particular case, HOWEVER, to use "There is no problem so immense, that it can't be solved in time" in a generals sense is just plain wrong. Actually it's outright arrogant, because it assumes anyone can absolutely get the pain of everybody else and rise above it. Unless you're a telepath/empath AND a precognitive, that's not true. Also, if there is an afterlife, suicide is not the end, it's just the end of an earthly life, and if there is no afterlife, then you seize to exist and can't be sad about missed opportunities or anything at all. This is not me saying "suicide in general is cool", this is me saying "condemning suicide in general or downplaying the reasons for it is wrong".

Death solves nothing. If the person who feels remorse over their actions dies, that is unlikely to grant any real relief to the one they harmed. But as long as the person lives & wishes to redeem themselves, they may do enough good to outweigh the harm caused. Isaac cannot take back his choices, but he can help the crew deal with the consequences. He can help to thwart his people’s war efforts. He can redeem himself

@@averycheesypotato A) As I already said: "...she [Finn] is right in this particular case...", so why discuss this particular case with me? B) My point was directed against the generalization, Finn uses, and which you used as well: "Death solves nothing" - As a generalizing statement this is just plain wrong. Death has the potential to solve a lot of problems just like it can cause just as many - context is everything here!!!

@@durchhalter Death may relieve an individual of their burden, but it does not actually solve problems. Since we’re generalizing I will say I support the right to euthanasia if a person is very ill & chooses it, but other than that I can’t think of a situation where it would be an improvement

@@averycheesypotato Whether death solves a problem or not depends on the problem at hand, not on whatever morals are applied or on whatever sensibilities are involved. Also, solving one problem, through either death or by avoiding it, doesn‘t necessarily mean that there wont be followup problems, true, but those will be new problems and they may come in either way.

That isn't what was said. "Time solves all problems" implies that they will sort themselves over time. "no problem so immense, that it can't be solved IN Time" implies that all problems can be solved, given enough work over enough time. It is also maybe a little too optimistic, but at least it does not discount the huge amount of work required.

@@agsystems8220 The point is: If the problem ends, then there is no time to solve the problem. Time does solve problems, either someone will figure it out, someone that was hurt will step up and stop it from happening again, or we die. And either way, eventually time does solve all problems.

This scene bothered me. Before it, I thought you were going to get a episode that talks about suicide from a different angle. That one woman said, “nobody chooses to be born, so if somebody wants to leave that’s up to them” An interesting take. And it’s going to be a very controversial one. But at least it’s not beating us over the head with suicide bad. But then we got to this scene. “People who think about suicide aren’t thinking about the future, the only think about the past.“ Thank you Dr. Finn. Thank you expert. Let’s play a game. I’m thinking of a number. Get it right and I won’t hurt you. Get it wrong and I will hurt you. We'll stop playing you die. Dr. Finn has been hurt many times during this game. The only way to guarantee that she stops getting hurt is to simply stop playing. As anyone that has been affected by gambling can tell you, there’s no such thing as a winning streak. So even if she gets a few right answers that result in her not getting the hurt, there’s no way to guarantee that will continue. So what if someone just can’t take it anymore? What if they don’t want to gamble with their sanity and their well-being anymore? And what is the only way to stop getting hurt is this simply stop playing? I wanted better from this episode. I’ve seen a lot of things talk about suicide and the always come back to the same tired bullshit. “Don’t kill yourself, because you don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t know things are gonna get worse or stay bad. You’ve got your head up your ass you don’t know anything. Listen to everyone else who clearly know you better than you do. Stay alive. Not for yourself, but for everybody else, you owe them your existence and your continued suffering will probably disappear maybe, possibly, who knows.” It’s rather insulting to suggest that people thinking of ending their life don't think. They do think. It's all they do. Every cell in their body is screaming for life. All common sense tells them to back away from the edge. There is no death instinct, only a survival one, it's it's telling you to live withall it has. You need to shut up all those voices. Which isn't easy. And that's AFTER the battle with your own logics and reasonings. No one WANTS to die. Everyone wants a better life. But death is inevitable. And life doesn't care what you want. Everything you have in life is on borrowed time, and life takes back WITH intrest. You'll lose love as quickly as you find it. And it leaves pain in its wake. You'll lose joy as quickly as you find it. And it leaves dispare in its wake. Even if you put up with emptyness and sorrow, life will take you body bit by bit and leave you as husk in some bed with nothing but a nametag and a fleating memeoy if everything that's come and gone. Death is the only certanty we have. It takes nothing and promises nothing. Nothing is better than a life of uncertanty. There is no good reason to commit suicide. Not to everyone else. But that’s the best part. Doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else. Doesn’t need to be a good reason for anyone else. It only needs to be a good reason for one person. The one who’s suffering. And for everyone left behind I’ve got fantastic news for you too, just think about the future. I’m sure you’re suffering the end in time. And if you think I'm wrong, what if someone wanted to take their life to reunite with a loved one who died? What would you say to them? "Don't worry? Things will get better? You'll find someone else? Just move on, it's what they'd want?" So I wasn't wrong. Just apply the speel you'd give him to a person who lost someone to suicide, or someoen wanting to commit sucide. All this talk is basically emotionally blackmailing people into staying alive. by telling them that they’re selfish, and not thinking right. Imagine finding a way out of your suffering, and then being told that you’re selfish for taking it. That’s not salt in the wounds, that’s acid. And I feel it can make the sufferer feel resentmant towards the people in thier life. Maybe make them grow distant in hopes of softening the blow when the time comes. Also. Think about that advice in any other context. Don't leave your abusive husband. Things can change. you're thinking about the past pain and suffering. Maybe it'll get better if you stick it out? Relationships can change and evolve, but only if you stick at it. What toxic advice is that?
