Anyone else felt that it was a huge mistake for them to replace Alana? Like seriously, what the fuck were they thinking?

Pretty sure it wasn't their choice. She left the show to pursue other roles, and they left the window open for her return.

I like Alara more than Talla, though. I'd never root for someone to fail in their career so I wish Alara (not sure of her real name) nothing but success but it would be cool to see her return

I watched the first season and folded because I don't respect the fact that it's a TNG ripoff. TNG is probably one of my least favorite Star Trek series because TNG fans are toxic.

Actually, the actress said that it wasn't her choice to leave. Apparently the show's creators thought it was for the best to replace her for some stupidass reason.

In confirming Sages exit from the show, FOX also revealed that should she ever want to return to the series, or if the opportunity ever presents itself in the narrative, that door is still open. Yet the abruptness of her and her characters departure from the show have left many fans wondering if something else had happened (or was happening) behind the scenes. No one involved in the production has said anything to contradict FOXs statement so far, and Sage has not addressed the matter at all on social media.

There had been rumors of Sage's departure even before the season began airing, started by savvy fans noting an uptick of other projects on Ms. Sage's plate. Though FOX made no statement on her sudden departure, Halston Sage herself said in 2019 at a Television Critics Associationthat "It was what was best for the show at the time."

Halston is currently a main series cast member of the successful police procedural Prodigal Son, and 2019's Dark Phoenix gives her a chance to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe if the studio decides to follow up on her cameo as the mutant Dazzler in a future film. While Sage's departure from The Orvilleis a loss for fans, her departure appears to have been amicable, and the warm resolution of "Home" means that there will always be a chance for a happy, revitalized Alara to visit her friends on the USS Orville.

Cobbled together from a couple sites.

Halston Sage simply stated that it wasn't her choice, it was for the best of the show as per the creators

Fox nor show creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane have given a clear reason as to why she was written out, and Sage herself seemed largely in the dark too. When asked if she chose to leave The Orville in a 2019 Television Critics Association panel, the actress simply stated, It wasnt about a choice. It was what was best for the show at the time.

Yeah; I watched The Orville and really enjoyed it. Though I'll want to watch Season 2 again; refresh my memory before Season 3 begins.

I don't feel like replacing Alana was a mistake. I like Tala just the same.

There were rumours Halston was dating Seth and her departure was because they broke up, the implication (and irony) being that Seth couldn't handle seeing her on set every day so soon after the breakup. I really liked the character development they had going for her and would like to see her return, especially since Prodigal Son has now been cancelled. (It looked like they were going to make her character a serial killer to follow in the character's father's footsteps, Michael Sheen was a fantastic psychopath)

Season three is supposed to be releasing soon, but they've taken it off Fox and put it on Hulu and I've no idea where they are going to air it in Canada or the rest of the world as Seth has stated he is going to take advantage of the streaming format and give us longer episodes.

Except you're saying that she left the show to pursue other roles, which would mean it was her choice. She clearly said that it wasn't her choice, and that it was the decision of the show's creators. Like do you just love being wrong or what?

That would make sense. If it really was the reason that they got rid of her, hopefully enough time has passed that she can be on the show again.

Thats a rumor in the same way Kevin Spacey being a huge creep was a rumor.

He dated Emilia Clarke for a time too, and it ended similarly quickly. He really likes super tiny women in their 20s

Also WTF? When I try to post this comment, it says I wrote the slur for lesbians that can also be used for flood prevention controls?

Like I said, pay attention buddy. There's an important distinction between her saying it wasn't about "my" choice and what she actually said which is "a" choice

I really hope you don't need this explained any further

The Orville has a civilization of machines that that didn't accept being told what to do, destroyed their creators, and one of them turns against the others after being befriended by the main cast.

Lost In Space (2018) also has a civilization of machines that that didn't accept being told what to do, destroyed their creators, and one of them turns against the others after being befriended by the main cast.

I wasn't too bothered with the switch though it did shift the role(I know they're different) to a less important one. All things considered, if the original actress left for other roles, I'd say she did the smart thing. Love Orville, but it's dragged it's feet all the way will likely not go for more than 3 seasons.

That's good as this is likely the last season. Seth has indicated he's pretty done with Orville.

First I'm hearing of it, though I have not been paying Seth too much attention as of late; I understood he was going to try to get as many season as the network would give him.
