Yeah, ep 4 of orville was mostly very good.
I still feel like there is the odd mix. overall Orville has very nice trek plots, but then they tack the blob character and his oddness, and a few dick jokes, etc. if they can manage to drop the MacFarlane-esqness, this will be a good show. I am curious to see if the current balance of the writing stays the same, or if it changes (and if it changes, is it to be more Trek like or more MacFarlane like)
