For those who don't already know, episode 1 of The Orville guest-stars Brian "Raj's Father" George, and episode 5 is called Pria. But in this case it's not Aarti Mann. It's Charlize Theron!

Yeah. I saw episode 1--it was an unexpected pleasure seeing him; although I was there for "Adrianne Palicki".

As for episode 5, "Pira" never saw it--I only lasted through episode 2.

Oh I'd say it gets lots better. Episode 2 was a dud, I'd say. They should have put it later when people might have more tolerance. It wouldn't be terrible to skip episode 3 too, at least to start with. But episode 4 is much, much better.

The Orville surprised me as a decent show that is more true to Star Trek than that other show. I did not think that Seth had it in him to do something like this. I hope to see more of Brian George in the next season.
