This third episode of The Orville plays more like a standard episode of Star Trek than anything else – and that’s not a complaint. The plot is pure Sixties-era Trek, with questions asked that are properly allegorical and philosophical. Two crew members have a baby, but there are certain sci-fi twists. The crew members are both male, the child is hatched from an egg, and is born healthy – healthy, but female, which is such a rare and unwanted occurrence in that species’ culture that they ask the ship’s doctor to perform a sex-change operation, and turn their baby girl into a baby boy. It’s a premise that, in the hands of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, could have been played purely for laughs – but it isn’t.
