- Quotes
Isaac: Hello, Commander. I apologize for disturbing you.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson: No, it's fine. What's up?
Isaac: It is my understanding that a visit to a crew member's quarters during off-duty hours can invite speculation regarding intent. If you wish, I will send a ship-wide communique assuring the crew that this was not a romantic or sexual encounter.
Cmdr. Kelly Grayson: I... I would just not say anything, it's all good. What can I do for you?
This episode is the opposite of that. It was a well thought out story, directed impeccably with above average performance by most of the actors. This is the star trek we need. Social commentary that's not cringe like in the actual star trek series they're making now.
Credit to where credit's due. I was never "pro" in the matter and don't think I will ever be because of how obnoxious the activists are in reality (yes, I'm against just because of the activism even though I have nothing against the actual thing). But I'm not so blind to not recognize art when I see it. In the end, it doesn't really matter if you're "for" or "against", this is a damn good episode.
