    Not a lot to say about this one - I’m just glad Reno found someone.

    And we have a stardate!

    868858.7 - that puts it pretty definitively after DSC season 5 (coda excepted), assuming stardates are, you know, linear.

      Was that in question Reno being an instructor would seem proof enough that it was after her time on Discovery.

        Kurtzman has made some nebulous comments about there being some overlap, so I was open to the possibility that this was happening between seasons or during season five or something.

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

    I want some warp core pajamas.

    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.

    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?

      The teens arent vapid socialites and theres enough Trek Universe mixed in that it really doesn’t align with the typical teen drama.

    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.
