In the Commander’s Chair Podcast

In Seth MacFarlane’s Star Trek tribute show “The Orville,” Captain Ed Mercer’s first challenge is the admiralty’s choice of a first officer… none other than his ex-wife, Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki). Due to her bravery, compassion, and leadership, Kelly quickly establishes herself as a vital member of the crew and manages to sneak into viewers’ hearts… and Ed’s.

But what is Kelly thinking as she sits next to her ex-husband on the bridge every day? What does a first officer actually do? What was Ed and Kelly’s marriage like?

Join me in exploring these questions… In the Commander's Chair!
