This episode just shows that you don't need action, just well performed dialog. I had a few moments that just had me on the brink of tears, but the "feels" were real. I love this series.
This episode continues to maintain the high bar set by episode 1. Good writing and wonderful performances, without a single phaser blast being fired.
Stuntmen/women should get Oscars!
Excellent, and definitely not boring.
I knew nothing about this going in, and I'd recommend everyone else try to do it the same way. Do not watch the trailer. Just go in blind and enjoy.
I love that there are still MAGA cult morons in the comments screeching about the show going "woke".
They've been mask-off openly mocking you for two seasons now. Surely it can't all be going over your head...right? Right...?
Great take on a classic character, unexpectedly good and with the best song soundtrack in a while
Calling out discrimination and preaching tolerance? The X-men have gone woke!
-some clueless idiot.
That was a masterpiece. Truly, not everything has to be about space battles or exploration, this episode can stand on its own legs and it reflects why the ideas of Starfleet are so important for us to grow as a species, and an important reminder that the law should not be taken as a compass for justness. That testimony was poignant and the acting from the lawyer was stellar. Not just because she is using this case as a proxy to denounce the injustice her people suffered, but also because we witnessed her healing process throughout the episode, and understanding the choices Una and her family did and not holding It against her anymore.
People complaining about Frenchie "suddenly being gay" have clearly never met a gay person before.
Dr. M'Benga on the floor "do I get the same treatment, or... do I just wait until you two are done?"
Far right conservative-‘Christian’ pulpit preaching agenda driven nonsense.
Deceptive, boring, long, preachy, poorly acted. Not a fan of this. I believe it has high ranking because of the non-movie people who think the "message" in the film is helping their God somehow.
I definitely lost brain cells after watching the first few minutes. It's not really funny unfortunately, but I can see how stupid people would laugh at this shit.
The meme videos did better clips of Jones being embarrassed on the stand in both cases than this did. They focused more on the parents stories, which was by far more respectful than Jones was over the decade of hell he put these folks through.
The fact that Jones really still hasn't been held to account, that he still snubs the system by not paying up for either of the two cases, just shows how in our country people like him WASP men always continue to get a different standard than the rest of us. it's unconscionable even though it should be unfathomable.
8 out of 10.
8 is usually a good as it gets for a documentary. it's easy to back seat drive, but no documentary has the time to tell the story unless they want to do 5 to ten 45 minute/1 hour segments.
Great movie, I loved it. And the less you know about it before watching, the better.
Messed me up in the best ways. Unreal film, needs to be watched with zero spoilers to have full impact.
It’s pretty hilarious to see people all weak at the knees because Frenchie is “suddenly gay”. That bro has been displaying bisexual tendencies since season one. He admitted to “turning tricks” to make ends meet, and told MM to be “open minded” when love sausage wrapped his piece around him at Herogasm.
But it does suck that his relationship with Kimiko is seemingly on the outs. It’s been building up for a while so hopefully that’s just a curveball being thrown by the writers. I’ve always loved their dynamic.
Amazing episode but please stop using cliff-hangers I beg you... This should have been a double episode.
For a minute there I thought I downloaded the wrong show. :joy:
I thought it was good, I was getting measure of a man vibes, I am sucker for the starfleet/federation court/tribunal type episodes because it builds on in universe canon. Which this episode does for the most part. It also has good underlying themes about genetic editing and the ethics around it, and a good deal on xenophobia, and how fear and hope can be encapsulated in or by law.
Excellent episode that exposes all kinds of prejudices (and the frequently problematic Prime Directive) in a "dont ask, dont tell" court-case repeal format.
Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Neera (Yetide Badaki) again, she played the part very well, and Una has good taste in "friends".
Anti-science reactionary guru saying some dumb things about the topic he has zero knowledge of. That's basically it. If you want to be disinformed or have a good laugh then you'll enjoy this movie
where is the fucking master chief armor !?
NO! Not Hemmer!! He was so cool.
I simply cannot stand such singing stuff. Totally throws me out of the universe.
Super Fun and a glimpse into the America Trump and his supporters want.
