It feels as though the segment was likely cut for time reasons, which is something that could change as the show makes the jump to Hulu, which doesn’t wholly rely on advertiser dollars.
With the ability to play around with episode length, there’s a chance that fewer hilarious scenes like this will get cut from final episodes.
With that said, the scene is truly a hilarious moment, and it’s a good thing it was completed enough for The Orville’s executive producer Tom Costantino to show to fans at Comic-Con and on social media.
