Basically, you discover you’re in The Matrix but you’re an utter piece of crap who awakens in a Trekkian utopia. What do you do with a person who has been living in a video game his entire life but believes he’s a killer of thousands? Is unrepentent about it? That his entire life until this point was a lie. Really, this is a fascinating story concept and actually one of the few ones I haven’t seen for something like the holodeck in Star Trek. He’s a mass murderer and war criminal as well as true believer: but he’s never hurt anyone in his life.

The world’s worst series of coincidences resulted in him ending up in Nazi Germany and becoming a pure example of what is worst in mankind. Yes, Otto was a baby when his parents left him in the holodeck to look after him while they were being attacked by the Krill. Or whatever The Orville calls their holodecks. That’s when we find out he’s lived his entire life in a holodeck. Otto is genuine scum who has a wife and child that he loves but is the kind of guy who regularly kills Jews for a living. Yep, we’re dealing with Nazis here and no metaphor or symbolism. Well, they return home and Otto is gradually radicalized by a certain National Socialist Party that proceeds to make him an SS officer. The premise is that Otto is a young boy abandoned in America that is adopted by a German couple in the 1910s. Okay? Everyone got that? Everyone ready? Good, let’s go on. However, if you don’t think spoilers are an impediment to enjoying a story then continue on.
It’s impossible to discuss the book without spoiling its major twist but it’s a good twist so if you want to be completely surprised, don’t read further. I also think they should make some major revisions to the story if they do it. Seth has stated he would make it into an episode if they ever get a season four but we don’t know if that’s going to happen after New Horizons. However, Covid-19 happened and they weren’t able to finish it. THE ORVILLE: SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL is a novella by Seth MacFarlane that is based around a really good concept and was meant to be an episode of the show.
