We're now 4 seasons and 40+ shows in to this series, and the haters keep hate-watching and hats-posting all the way through. That this show has somehow produced that level of commitment among its critics tells you that it has accomplishing something of significance, and yep, it's really worth taking the time to find out what.
The original Star Trek was goofy and overly optimistic, and so too is this one. I for one found it endearing, and by the end of this arc I was once again totally hooked. Sure, it's optimism feels somewhat out of time, but then so too was the optimism of the OG. The early 70s were rough y'all, and then as now we needed a reminder we could be better.
So haters keep on hating, and optimists keep on watching. 10/10 from me. Job well done!

First off, Cronenberg absolutely nails his role this episode. Second, I chose that quote for the title of the review because it was with that line in this episode that I finally understood the driving force of this season. Prior to this episode this season had felt hit or miss to me, but here it finally feels like it's all coming together.
