Started to binge this show, I was bouncing off it first season but stuck around for the second anyway. Was kind of background TV while I played Path of Exile or whatever, the Bortus grows a mustache episode was so cringe I hated it. Then they absolutely pulled me back in with Bortus and Clyde getting addicted to smoking, that shit had me rolling and now some good twists and decent stories almost done with Season 2.

We ever learn why Halston Sage was replaced?

Fox brought in a replacement and put her on a different show. I only remember hearing of once (Prodigal Son), but now seeing that Michael Sheen is in it, may give it a watch.

Why Halston Sage Left 'The Orville' and What She's Doing Next

Halston Sage discusses her sudden departure from the sci-fi comedy 'The Orville' and her new serial killer show 'Prodigal Son.'

“It wasn’t about a choice,” Sage said. “It was what was best for the show at the time.”

This reeks of internal conflict, affair or bad touch kind of stuff. The whole writers spin makes no sense considering she was replaced with an exact body type copy, clearly the role was written for a tiny female.

There was mixed stories regarding it. She was dating Seth though never officially and no one knows when they broke up so its hard to say they were related or not. She came back for a cameo so I don't think it was super bad terms but the common consensus was she wanted to pursue other projects and had some stuff lined up that was going to conflict with the Orvilles schedule.

IF that's true or not, only they know I guess. In today's day and age though os social justice and gossip, I imagine if anything shady was involved, it woulda been out there by now.

Prodigal Son is good. Really good. Michael Sheen steals every scene he is in.

I actually thought the show was kind of weak whenever Michael Sheen didn't have camera time. I suppose I should go back and finish it.

It's not supposed to be a final season, but with the production hell this seemed to go through and Seth being wishy washy about the show, who knows.

The extra title they gave it is odd - like is it a soft reboot?

The intro kind of gave me some DS9 pilot vibes

Probably added to the name cuz it moved from a Fox show to a Hulu show. Just to differentiate a bit probably.

I hope they continue with it, because frankly, I just find it a really fun show to watch.

well, it's fun to watch because on one hand it doesn't usually take itself too seriously, but on the other hand it's better star trek than any star trek that's come out in 20 years

Im angry with you for making me realize DS9 ended 22 years ago.

side note though, enterprise is vastly underrated.

Voyager is two different series under the same name, which makes me wonder if there will be a similar shift for Orville's next season if they are acknowledging it in the title.

Preview was good. The budget seems higher for this season, the space stuff looked way better.
