The question is whether the dislike of the character was because it was poorly written or poorly acted.
In this case I feel like Charlie was a well-written character who had a good arc (despite a touch of Mary Sue-itis) but Anne Winters’ delivery was absolutely flat.
The Orville has literally some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen put onto film, and Seth’s girlfriends were rarely bringing up the average. Seriously, it’s like the half the cast was there specifically to make Travis Mayweather seem like an Emmy-winning tour-de-force.
The fact that it was so damn earnest and had a some good slush-pile scripts from Star Trek saved it overall, but nobody was watching The Orville for the acting, though Penney Jerald, Peter Macon, and Adrianne Palicki handled the material well.
Because she had untreated PTSD and hated the robots who killed her best friend/lover/whatever.
And then she was rude to a robot belonging to the same group as the ones who killed her best friend/lover/etc.
She’s pretty well written imo, of a traumatized character.
They were roommates
Oh my god

She should have taken medical leave if she was that fucked
She should have, but plot. And also traumatized people irl have a habit of rejecting help
Yeah, she was a bit rough at first, but I didn’t have a problem with her, especially given her arc.
