Sofia’s origin story is crazy.

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.

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...?

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.

Oh, fuck you, Star Trek Strange New Worlds!

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?"

I absolutely despise musical episodes.

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".

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.

A full season of filler episodes

A strong ending. I've loved the vast majority of this season. Eagerly awaiting more!

Damn this episode brought tears to my eyes. Putting nostalgia aside this is becoming one of my favorite Star Trek shows.

I liked that they do not take themselves serious. It was on purpose that it is a cringe musical episode. It was part of the concept.

I like that they experiment with episodes, but i would stick to one experiment per season.

But i must say that i did not really enjoyed it so much. A real musical has more themes to offer than just emotional songs. There are also songs that are fun, sad, progressive and so much more. But in this episode they only chose songs that are emotional.

Also i did not get why Chapel was written so hard and cold in this episode. I would have liked it more if there would have been some empathy from her for Spock.

Wow that was amazing episode. Well written and performed.

It was better than last weeks episode. Enjoyed it for what it was, but I find myself increasingly trying to hush the part of my brain that is screaming - "Where is Chief's armour?!"

Initially, I found the idea of an out of armour chief interesting during the earlier parts of this season.

But I am tired now.

That was quite emotional. I enjoyed it. I'm glad it didn't drag on though.

The Illyrian Annalise Keating. Loved it.
As a fan of legal dramas and Trek this episode was everything. The feels was strong. And I love social commentary.

Excellent episode but it leaves me slightly annoyed we wasted time with a musical episode when we could have had a part 1 and 2 finale and not end on a massive cliffhanger.

rip bozo get fucked todd
this is a good start to the new season if you had any amount of media literacy, which can't be said for half this show's viewerbase
