When Captain Ed Mercer (Seth MacFarlane) and First Officer Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki) are lured over to an alien ship and ultimately kidnapped, it is up to inexperienced security officer Alara Kitan (Halston Sage), who has been left in command after second officer Bortus (Peter Macon) requests a leave of absence so he can sit on an egg that he and his partner have conceived (yeah, you read that right). Kitan must make a series of tough decisions and figure out a way to rescue her crew mates without causing a major interstellar incident.

Finally, did you notice that Rob Lowe played the blue alien in the awkward bedroom scene from the opening of the pilot? Here is a closer look from Lowe’s Instagram.

I had no idea that was Rob Lowe.

I looked at the pic on his instagram and I still can't really tell.

Well, Satan said it was and he would never lie to us. He also said it's totally fine to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.

hehe I also had no idea but in any case, it was a good ep, typical ST stuff, I love it.
Really missed ST on the TV and now we're getting two even. Though I gotta feeling that Orville might be better than the ST discovery...
