Incredibly well done episode. Not sure others have mentioned these, but I really really liked these things in particular:

  • Reno has great presence and delivery. And the sharpest uniform.
  • I’m glad the announcer from Children’s Hospital fell through an anomaly and arrived in Starfleet Academy.
  • English graffiti and open flames everywhere! J/k how could they get everything else so right but then fumble this so poorly. You’re telling me the venari ral are space romans, but not romulans?

A great first season, I feel like they know what they’re doing and I want more.
