So....does this just get moved to Disney's new streaming thing or do they just see the relatively high budget and the okay but not spectacular ratings and basically decide money would be best spent else where?

The Orville S2 |OT| Discover the Art of Opening Pickle Jars - Thursdays at 9 EST
- Thread starter AoM
- Start date
Oh yeah, I remember that episode had the callback to Picard learning to play the flute when he lived out that whole other life do to the brain...scan...thingy (lol). That's definitely a fair comparison to this episode for sure.
Did the incidental music in the latest ep, sound like it would have belonged in any old ep of tng, to anyone else too?
Maybe the first three seasons before the music got Bermanized. But I think Orville's underscore takes even that a step further.
just catching up on season 2 episode 1. Love this show. This fills the old star trek void very very well.
Yeah, McFarlane is a big fan of TNG music so I wouldn't be surprised if they just told the composers to copy TNG as much as they can. lol
Don't forget that Ron Jones, the guy who got fired from TNG for his scores being too dramatic, is one of the main composers on MacFarlane's other baby, Family Guy. MacFarlane really loves him a good TV score. (It's too bad they didn't just go ahead and let Jones do The Orville too.)
Yup! Two discs! I'm super excited about this. Hoping the pilot score is released in full.
Wait, out of order? Holy shit, is Orville getting the Firefly treatment?
That ending was so bittersweet. Gonna miss Alara.
Halston Sage rode horses competitively so the scene where she was daydreaming was extra special.

Damn I hate that I was right...I hope she comes back. Reports only said it was an extended leave because she was filming other stuff so I hope we see her again. Alara was my favorite character so far and that jar of pickles was a great call back :(
I found some more info on Alara for those interested
It kinda has spoilers for this eps so I'll just post the link

I thought that was him. I couldn't tell with all the alien makeup
Welp, looks like that rumor was true, hope it's only temporary.
His voice is pretty distinct.
Well she didn't get killed by a tar monster, so she can at least can come back as Alara.
I noticed his name up front, was wondering when he would show up. I just got done with A Series of Unfortunate Events, so his name popped out at me.
Surprised to "see" him under a huge amount of makeup.
I love that they do that. Jason Alexander as the bartender is also great!
I thought this episode was a good time. Bye, Alara!
Favorite episode of the season so far for me, except for the obvious loss of Alara. Hate that. :'(
Even though it was obvious she was going to get up and fight near the end, I still thought it was a great moment for her. A little too quick/cheesy how it won her father's respect, but this is TV.

I don't know to what extent the reordering is going, but episode 2 was a season 1 episode that didn't air.
He's pretty low key in this. He's kinda just a straight man and not trying to be the center of attention all the time. I think that's intentional. I always thought McFarlane got the rep for being self-absorbed and thinking he's a lot funnier than he actually is. I think production has intentionally toned him down so that he's just part of the show and not THE show.
He just comes off as boring and one note. I'm not expecting Family Guy but he's really bland and lacks charisma.
It was really just bad placement of having two Bortis centered episodes in a row to start the season.
It was also weird to see certain characters have different hair in episode 1, go back to the season 1 hair in episode 2, then in episode 3 back to how they were in episode 1 of season 2.
