The mentioning of DuckDuckGo seemed weird/misplaced

Toronto passing as New York for characters was so meta and hilarious.

Ouch, that must hurt for Kate Mulgrew and the team.

Why would Paramount remove the existing episodes from streaming service though? They have everything else Trek.

Oh yeah. That stood out to me as well.

I didn't particularly loved Ad Astra Per Aspera but I agree that this episode demonstrates the tone difference between Discovery and SNW very well, but honestly all of SNW feels like it was a 180 degrees shift from Discovery (and that's good).

The crew quarters with those slanted columns look really sleek.

Hm... I suppose I might get downvoted, but I thought that the episode was just okay. Don't get me wrong, I love Star Trek episodes that aren't action-oriented and have actual good drama, but we have done courtroom dramas already multiple times. TNG had it with Measure of a Man, which was superb at the time. Battlestar Galactica had that one space court drama that was well executed too. While this episode was maybe emotional and had the allegory on modern society, I thought the episodes borrowed too heavily from so many courtroom drama clichés (objections/"you may proceed, but treat carefully", making someone who would otherwise be on your side be the prosecution, having the defendant lawyer make their own client look bad at the beginning, making prosecution read off a law in front of the court).

I am here already waiting to throw my money at the inevitable IndieGoGo campaign for their TNG documentary.

If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend Rowan's Star Trek Retrospective series.. That's how his channel became famous.

She was in Star Trek Beyond though.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb too.

I agree. That's why it would have actually been shocking if there were to really kill Chapel. I only watched Games of Thrones lately (yeah I know), and boy was I shocked at the various kills of main characters.
