The plot, and execution, of this episode shows that this show is far more than a parody - and that Seth has a deep understanding of the type of writing that made Trek matter back in the day.
The central issues (whether parents have the right to make life changing decisions for their children and gender rights (for starters)) were dealt with in a mature, sensible and engaging way - without feeling "preachy".
An excellent episode, where the cast and crew of the USS Orville finally get to earn the right to stand beside those of the USS Enterprise as equals in narrative.
