The plan was always to move it to Thursday after episode 2.
Good ep. Love those aliens. Good world building.

Bingo. This show is essentially Fox's favored freshman series, so it's getting post-NFL promotion. Now that that's done, it moves to its real time slot, and we'll see how many people come along for the ride.The plan was always to move it to Thursday after episode 2.
That too. And I love how the Union/humans are not top dog in this world's universe, or even on equal footing. Rather they're a smaller entity who is at a disadvantage.Good ep. Love those aliens. Good world building.
I also like the fact that they (Orville) aren't using the same technology as ST. Namely, Teleporters. Want to go somewhere, take a shuttle bitches. Makes for more interesting plotlines, as you can't just teleport people in and out of trouble. Last night's episode wouldn't have been possible without some hokey "the zoo is shielded, no teleporting is possible" gimmick.
I think they are striking the right balance between comedy and drama and providing some really good characters to explore further as the series goes on.
True, but it was used against them by a more advanced race.But they did use teleporting in this week's episode. It was a major plot device.

I'm not sure I'm fond of the visual design of the ship being a flying slipper...

The Krill are cool though.
Not loving it, not hating it
I'd go with "very enjoyable." It was a heavy, dramatic episode that was perhaps a bit too heavy-handed at times. But I still enjoyed it. I've missed that kind of procedural, allegoric story telling.I'm not sure brilliant is the word I would use.
