I feel like this is the case with pretty much all of the episodes of The Orville that I've seen so far: they're not particularly great, they have a pretty slow pace, and are barely entertaining enough to last for 40 minutes, but then they are saved by a pretty good ending. I can't help but think that the Orville would be a lot better if each episode were 20 minutes long, because from the beginning of each episode until around the 40 minute mark, they're not very fun to watch or very intriguing, and then the ending is either smart enough or impactful enough to make you say you sort of liked it.
I've enjoyed the first few episodes of the Orville, especially About a Girl, but they almost all seem to lack any sort of real drama, intrigue, or tension, and they're not funny enough to make you really want to watch the next episode. I will keep watching, because I think that this show has potential, but so far it hasn't gotten very good.
