I know Cliff Eidelman was being considered for Star Trek: Discovery before showrunner Brian Fuller left...it would be super cool if he was brought onboard to do a score or two for The Orville! (And of course Ron Jones must do one...)

"Identity: Part II"
By: Joel McNeely
Official FOX.com link: https://www.fox.com/watch/1b31963566151c863620dffd712ceda8/
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x737l7m (cropped, lower quality, slightly sped up, and flipped load for those region restricted; a part of the opening has been cut off, so you won't hear the first example I listed)
Highlights:
0:00 in.
1:58 in.
4:07 in.
8:19 in.
10:36 in.
11:07 in.
17:30 in.
23:12 in.
28:35 in.
29:00 in. After commercial break.
47:25 in.
I think that was everything but two cues. This must have ben a beast to score and I don't see any additional composers listed on ASCAP or BMI (and neither revealed any composers yet to be heard from. Damn).
This was a fantastic episode and a welcome conclusion to the set up. And you could feel the sense of emergency, the sense of drama when people died or ships blew up (as opposed to the empty CGI ship explosions in endless "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" war-fight episodes).
Is it perfect? No.
Does it have plot holes and miscellaneous thing to comment on? Yes. But so does almost anything you can watch.
So, Talya got hit by a blast, but has no mark on her chest? We saw the [perhaps dead] bodies in Part I and they had dark wounds.
"Oh, her race is super strong!"
Her uniform isn't!
So, the Orville has Jeffries' tubes, too. But they don't make sense:
Why would you have a tube big enough for a person to crawl around in with parts that are accessible for replaced/repair, when the opening to get in is too small for a person to crawl through? You'd have to have a Yaphit on every ship.
Of course, this point could be dismissed if it turns out there was just no human-access point in the main Shuttle Bay (which seems stupid).
SPOILERS (for those, like solium, who can't see the spoiler code covering)
Logic hole:
Why would Kaylon Primary tell Ed he'd decompress Shuttle Bay if Ed did not comply? Earlier he said if Ed and his main personnel did not comply he'd execute crew one-by-one; if he was to decompress the main Shuttle Bay, there'd be no one to execute but main Bridge personnel, which would eliminate the ruse Primary was going to use once at Earth.
Another logic hole:
Why didn't Captain Marcos' vessel detect the radiation from the enemy vessels? The Orville did in Part I.
Gordon: "See? Avis; I told you I wasn't makin' that up."

McNeely scored part 2, not John Debney. At least according to the end credits of the episode on Hulu.

Damn, you're right -- it was McNeely. It's been so long since I've seen a "new" with multiple composers where a two-parter was scored by different composers, that I just assumed it was Debney. I'll go back and edit my post.
In regards to the plots hole and what not, everything has them, it's just that people tend not to notice them. But a Youtube channel like CinemaSins does. Having said that, it's in my personal opinion that Part I was especially full of problems. I almost want to go through it again to list everything I can find.

I'm a bit behind the times on this series at the moment.
I'm just nearing the end of series one (just finished watching Firestorm).
The CD should be coming my way from Intrada quite soon.
I never thought I would ever say that I loved watching a Seth MacFarlane film or TV series, after everything else I've seen by him previously, but here I am, praising this series to the hilt.
Sure, it ain't perfect, but in comparison to all the other Star Trek stuff out there in the past few years ago, it trumps them all in my book.
I also get a kick out of playing 'guess the composer' while watching each episode (I just got Firestorm wrong by thinking it was McNeely after hearing all those Goldsmith riffs, but it turned out to be John Debney).
This is one of my favourite TV shows I'm watching right now.
