This was the episode that gave me the realization that this show wasn't just a comedic Star Trek, it has actual depth, and deals with real moral decisions, and the morality doesn't always win out.
This is something I love about Sci-fi and Fantasy as a genre it can take a real world issue and twist it just enough to make get people out of their dug in beliefs and to re-consider their foundations for those beliefs. It forces people with unexamined beliefs to examine them as they haven't been fed an easy answer on the issue like many real life issues.
There is another episode later (not spoiler and not related with this one) that should have won an award if the series was not a little too much comedic. Orville has a lot of serious topics and they do not choose the easy path of making things the "correct" way, this show is extremely smart, intelligent end complex.
This is where the show finds its proper stride. where Seth and others arent trying to sell a Star Trek parody anymore. The Fox execs, familiar with family guy and American Dad, already greenlit the show based off the first 2 episodes. At this point Seth was more free to take a risk and showcase an actual homage to the tng era of trek. he did risk the show getting cancelled, but in his own words, "fox has a bad history with sci-fi, so i had nothing to lose" Have fun going forward!
Love your reactions ,but yall would be happier forgetting about Galaxy quest and understand Star Trek before 09 and Galaxy Quest is a step down. You want to understand The Orville watch Star Trek the Next Generation

this is one of the greatest storyline arcs in all of scifi. prepare yourself for seasons 2 and 3.
This is such a powerful episode. There are many throughout this incredible series. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your reactions with us.
Just like with circumcision, the child have no say...
@exileduniverse The truth hurt? Does the child have a say of the mutilation? :)
Jep, unless it's done willingly by the person or done for medial purposes it's mutilation
@exileduniverseSincerely, what the fuck is wrong with you
