'Space Babies' was a classic RTD dumpster fire. It felt like a first draft and the exposition dump at the beginning was very badly done. The script editor should have pushed back hard on this one.

'The Devil's Chord' was better although hamstrung by the fact that they couldn't afford the rights to any Beatles music.

Ncuti and Millie have quickly established themselves and I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season brings.

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
