The Orville

Pria - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Lt. Malloy has his lower left leg amputated in Isaac's attempt at practical humor. When they later find the leg, it's not just a lower left leg, but an entire left leg (upper + lower). So either Malloy regrew half a leg in the course of a single night, or they forgot to tell the prop department to only make a lower leg. (00:26:35 - 00:30:20)

Pria - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The remote control device installed into the Orville's circuits is shown several times through the episode. When Isaac is beginning to send his leads into the device the corners of the right end of the device are about 1/2" - 1" past the intersection of various block shaped components of the Orville's circuits. However, just moments prior, when the device is shown in place in the same circuit, the corners of the right end of the device line up perfectly with the corners of those same block shaped circuit components as evident by the slivers of light shining between the very thin slit formed where the two sets of corners align.

Pria - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When the crew is working to disable the device helping Pria to hijack the Orville, the Chief drills a hole and creates a great deal of metal/material shavings on the top of the device, which disappear. The device is also aligned differently in respect to the components of the Orville's circuits from the Chief's drilling shot to Isaac's probing shot. (00:34:21)

Old Wounds - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gordon starts to unpack his bag, he moves the flap all the way over. When John enters the room, the flap is still down, but in the next shot the flap is sticking pretty much straight up.

Show generally

Question: Now that season 3 is out, has there been any updates about why Alara was written off, or why Halston Sage left the show, near the beginning of season 2? In 2019, she seemed to indicated her leaving wasn't her choice and it was what was best for the show. But, the fact that they replaced her character with another female Xelayan makes it seem like they weren't really making any changes. And with a 4th season unlikely, are there any rumors Sage will return in season 3?

Bishop73

Answer: No official reason has been given. Halston Sage has only stated in an interview that leaving the show was not her choice. It is considered that her possible return is "open ended", and while there has been no official announcement, she did make a reappearance at the end of Season 2.
