The part about the officers’ ethical decision should have been the A-plot, but the episode basically forced the documentary angle on us as the A-plot. I think that’s the fundamental problem; if this had just been an episode about them wrestling with the ethical ramifications of using a sentient creature as a weapon, it would have been top-tier Star Trek.

I feel like there was a kernel of a good episode in there, or maybe kernels of several episodes. I’m not opposed to the documentary angle per se, and it fits in with SNW’s general willingness to experiment, but I have a difficult time imagining that a documentarian would actually edit the finished product that way, on top of the other stuff. There’s definitely room to critique Starfleet and the Federation, but this episode really feels like it was missing some important chunks.

Me watching S5: “Ok, this episode is going to have Detmer and Owo, right?” End of episode: “Dammit!”

I would not have released Patel into Pike’s custody after how she lost control when confronted with “Gamble”. Like, clearly the being inhabiting his body was malevolent, but “the enemy of my enemy” doesn’t make it ok that she basically got taken over by a consciousness besides her own. Leaving her alone with the captain of the ship feels especially dangerous (and letting her captain her own ship again, for that matter).

I don’t know what you’re talking about. He’s just a simple tailor.

Someone asked Patrick Stewart about this once, and he said that in the 24th century, no one would care about baldness anymore

It would be cool if we get to hear from the version of the Doctor that was in “Living Witness.” I think the timeframe would be about right.

A few minutes ago out of nowhere, it suddenly clicked in my brain that I had called “Strange New Worlds” “Brave New World” on here, so I had to come and see people making fun of me. Thank you all for not disappointing 😆

I don’t know how, but I would love to see more of these characters in live action. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid were fantastic in BNW.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman Gives Live-Action Comedy Update, Says Star Trek Can “Broaden” 6 months ago:
Tawny Newsome is awesome, so I’m sure this will be good, but there seems to be a fundamental tension between Kurtzman saying Trek can broaden, while Paramount seems to be trying to contract it.

Ironic that the actor who seems to be the biggest Trek fan also played my least favorite character. Zeph was a cartoon.
