About this listen

An original novella set in season three of The Orville—straight from the pen of Seth MacFarlane, creator of the beloved sci-fi TV show! When Captain Ed Mercer and the crew of the U.S.S. Orville come face-to-face with one of humanity's most vile ideologies, they must solve the moral conundrum of who to hold accountable for evil deeds real… and imagined. Occurring just after episode 308, this is the Orville like you've never seen it before.

Even though it's read by one person, that person is Bruce Boxleitner, a top notch actor! Seth's writing and Bruce's reading make it a great short story!

An extra episode! (In a way.)

Loved it! Would be great to see as an episode. The only thing I did not like was the phrase ‘schizophrenic impulse’ that was used inaccurately.

One issue…

great story but I'm still hopefully the aborted concept gets a proper execution on screen in a field session of the Orville

good story

It always good to have more of the Orville but it would be perfect if they got the original actors to do those speaking roles

The Orville is the best
