    Burke was a horrible racist and bigot who went against the entire point of the academy. If I can see her as an awful bigot, in her futuristic society she must have been the equivalent of a klan member. She was a horrible person through her entire existence and we’re supposed to like her cause she redeemed herself in the last 10 seconds? Nah she sucks. Also she wasn’t really a proper character, just a racist Alara clone

      In all fairness alot of it stemmed from the fact she watched her partner die after they were betrayed by a supposedly ally - trust from that wouldn’t come back quickly.

      Would have liked to see the series carry on a bit more though

        1. amanda wasn’t her partner, she was a crush that she never approached

        2. she wasn’t on the Orville, so Isaac wasn’t an ally to her - just a bumfuck rando sleeper agent on another ship. One who turned against his own people to stop an armada, which meant precisely jack and shit to her self involved pain.

        I get that. But if she’s that compromised, she should never have been on active duty and serving alongside the race she was prejudice against.

          Extention level threat, qualified officer, not injured who can serve. Predjiced against said event.

          100% would be allowed to stay.

      Frustratingly, her entire kaylon aggro arc would have worked spectacularly with Gordon. They dropped a couple of aborted hints to this end.
