I like seeing the personal growth of these characters kicking in early. And that we don’t only focus on Caleb. When’s my Jay-den episode coming?

And while I didn’t think I‘d like the post-burn setting, it gives our characters a reason to reiterate what Star Fleet and the Federation stand for. In the classic shows, there wasn’t really a reason so argue what the federation is supposed to be (because it was objectively extremely successful the way it was). I enjoy seeing our characters rebuilding this utopia.

That was a really fun episode, I’m enjoying this show way more than I expected.

I want some warp core pajamas.

I don’t like teen dramas and I don’t particularly like romance plots, can someone explain why I’m loving this show so much?

This episode started rough with the gym lens flare being so strong I couldn’t even look at the TV. The War College gave up a little easy, but I expect them to be back harder and stronger, I hope they get a big win just to help even things out.

Also something I appreciate is all the security this episode and the previous episodes have had. So many Star Trek plots would have been fooled with even the most basic of security, so seeing someone need proper authorization or cloning an eyeball is surprisingly new for Trek.
