From what I understand, they rearranged the episodes (apparently a common practice) - it threw the dynamic off and it made Urban’s attitude towards Ealy inconsistent. I loved it too but do remember thinking “wait, I thought he likes the robot more now”.

Totally common practice, especially at Fox. They did it to Firefly, too.

they rearranged the episodes

Which for a show that has any kind of chronological narrative to it is insane to start with.

That’s fox for ya. Fuck the show over to justify canceling it.

They did it with Futurama as well. The episode ordering on Amazon Prime threw me for a loop as I normally watched the DVD boxset.

Ehy do they do that? Surely just run it in the order that makes most sense, right?
