I'm actually really enjoying her character on The Orville... 

On one hand, they didn't need a new ensign, or to write in all sorts of four-dimensional mcguffin problems that only she could solve. And it's weird that her actress is dating Seth McFarlane whilst being twenty years younger than he is. 

However, I respect the way the show is handling Charly's hostility at Isaac following Amanda's death. It's a bitter, necessary pill to swallow. Not everyone is on board with Isaac's presence on the ship. The Kaylon attack was three years ago for the viewers, but for the crew only a few months have passed. It's not pretty, and the ensign occasionally comes off as surly and unlikeable - at one point, Ed accuses her of acting like she has a "monopoly on grief." Those jagged edges are necessary for Charly's character. 

I hope the ensign sticks around.
