An external shot of the Orville and Krill ship shows them right next to each other. When it switches to an internal scene in the briefing room, the entire Krill vessel can be seen out the window. That would only be possible if the Krill ship were a good distance away, not right next to the Orville as the exterior shot showed.
Dr. Finn reveals that she was previously married, to Admiral Christie. She had previously told Isaac that she never married.
When Bortus picks up the small cup of food at the reception, he is no longer holding it when the camera changes angles.
When Dr. Finn enters her quarters in search of her sons, she moves from the main living space to their room. When she enters their room, their beds and the windows are on the right side of the room. In all previous depictions of the Finn family quarters, the beds and windows were on the left side of the room when entering from the main living space. If they were on the right side of the room, the windows would look out into the hallway rather than to space.
As a Vice Admiral, Vice Admiral Christie would only have three stars. He is shown as having five stars, which is indicative of a Fleet Admiral.
When the Krill are about to board their vessel, they say a prayer for the crew of the Orville in their native language. As the Orville crew are all equipped with translators (as that is presumably how they have been communicating with the Krill, who would not lower themselves the speak in the language of lesser beings), there would seem to be no reason that bit of dialogue should have been untranslated while the rest of their speech was heard in English.
However, many cultures have a religious or poetic language (usually archaic) which is distinct from their ordinary day-to-day speech. It may be that this prayer is in one such specialized Krill language, and thus unknown to the translators.

Dr Finn is surprised that the creature she examines had human DNA, but she already knows that all the creatures started as human: first the admiral then all those he infected.
However, since the crew of the Orville includes multiple non-human species and the alien organism is entirely unknown, there is no reason to assume all the infected were human.

The Orville completely loses power, so the artificial gravity system should have stopped working as well, yet everyone walks around normally like gravity is present.
In the final scene of Isaac and Claire in the restaurant, when the camera pans to the left after she asks him to sit down, the 'stars' in the background move significantly during the pan in relation to each other. They should not move relative to each other all over the narrow visual field, betraying the fact they are only a few feet behind the 'window'.
There is a crew complement of more than 300 officers and civilians aboard the Orville. Ty and Marcus should not have been able to get from their quarters to sick bay to the mess hall without encountering a single other person.
It is inconceivable that weapons would not work independently; and when Dr Finn, her sons and Isaac crashed in a shuttle, their weapons worked.
The Krill ambassador warns the Orville crew that demons in the shadow realm "possess the souls of those who dare" and "corrupt all that is unholy". The Krill believe that all other species are soulless, so this warning was unwarranted.
