After being underwhelmed last week, I enjoyed this one a lot.
I appreciated Beto cutting straight to the unspoken conflict at the heart of this franchise - Star Trek is kind of colonialist/imperialist.
When they got to the conclusion, my initial reaction is that “the people are the difference” was sort of trite…but what else is there, really? These are people who are willing to put their morality first, even as they walk an uneasy line.
