Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x08 "Under the Cloak of War"

But I’d encourage you to consider that he’s not a finished product. If this show gets to continue as far as it can, we know he’s in for a lot more change. Maybe he has to heal from here to end up somehow working under McCoy. The state he’s in when he hides this from Pike isn’t the end for him. Maybe this is part of trauma we get to watch him process from here?

I would have liked M’benga’s ending monologue to be less final. Instead of “things break, we fix them, but they’ll break again,” even just leaving it as a question-- “can we ever truly fix these things?” would feel like it leaves more room for hope and redemption in the future.

Oooh—good pt!
Could be foreshadowing!!! I am not tracking the significance of the busted sick bay but I’m sure there is something there!
