Well, that was worth all the narrative setup mechanics from last episode! Everybody else here has already mentioned the highlights of the finale, I will only applaud the resolution to Braka’s staged court drama.
That felt so arch Trek, reasoning their way out of an impossible pinch, by listening to the adversary first. It was clever, but not contrived writing, and it fit the overall themes of the season perfectly.
This show really pulled the rug from under me from day one, and it hasn’t let up much since the pilot. Now, how long do we have to wait for s2? New Short Treks release to fill the gap when?
