I watched Identity part 2. I enjoyed it, but it was extremely predictable just a few minutes into the story. I don't want to spoil it too much for those who haven't seen it yet, but the predictability makes it sort of hard to spoil. So here it goes. Don't read further if you don't want spoilers.
Why are the Kaylon having the Orville lead the fleet to earth? Deception, obviously. Why did the Kaylon keep the crew alive? Deception, obviously. When the captain and first officer start talking about who might be able to come and help earth's fleet, who are you going to ask to join in an 'unexpected' alliance? The Krill, obviously. Will the earth fleet be almost but not quite able to fend off the Kaylon and then have the Krill fleet arrive just in the nick of time like the Prussians at Waterloo? Yes, obviously. Will Isaac betray the Kaylon to save the crew of the Orville, almost sacrificing himself in the process? Yes, obviously.
I estimate that at least a thousand humans died in the battle, and humans on earth came within a whisker of being entirely exterminated. Isaac was a spy who gathered intelligence on the humans during his entire time on the Orville. He participated in the attack on the Orville and the attack on the earth fleet. He only changed sides to save the life of a child that had become sort of like a son to him. His betrayal of the Kaylon only saved the lives of the crew of the Orville, and did little to change the outcome of the Kaylon assault on earth. Returning him to his regular duties aboard the Orville was a bit of a stretch.
