The Orville Season Two - Thoughts?

Minor observations:
They could make more of a deal of how Lamarr dates one hot young white chick after the other.
I can't make sense of having the Yaphit character. Not in this episode; the call back to the Doctor's previous escapades was nice, but in general. Having such an absurd creature - and then using it so very little, I mean.
Kelly is somewhat of a disappointing character this season. She comes across much too much as the boring responsible TV mom. She's boringly competent with a wet blanket of a boyfriend.
Come on, Orville - you're wasting Adrianne Palicki!
When she was cast, I hoped to see more of her wild side. More like how Lois of Family Guy has one. Season one delivered at least a little, but not season two so far.
Halston Sage's replacement hasn't even got a chance yet. Very strange, almost as if Sage left with no warning and they decided to just hire another actress to just stand around. I can't think of a single reason why they had to have a Xelayan onboard this season. (The Alara farewell episode doesn't count, since that was obviously inserted to explain her absence) I saw Halston Sage on Magnum PI the other week, and I miss her on the show.
This season has really doubled down on the soap opera aspects of Next Generation. Also the boring competence. Not what I expected. They really need to pick up the pace here, the show plods along as if it already knows it's getting cancelled!
That would be a huge waste, so bring on the smart, sexy action plots! More of the outrageous blue Rob Lowe. More of anti-Picard Mercer (who immediately schlobs it up when captured). More Yaphit. And bring back Alara and her heavy drinking in the face of danger!

At least they're making a trend of hooking up the doctor with a strange lifeform each season
Soooo...like Kirk & Riker? Excellent!

Reason: To avoid rewrites? Story reason thrown out the window.
