minus-squareEdibleFriend@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up56arrow-down3·11 months agoIt was a total mess of a situation with no 100% morally correct solution. I think she did the closest to the right thing though. Related…I don’t understand the hate this episode gets. Treck is at its Treckiest when it’s weird future moral dilemmas.

minus-squareCeruleanRuin@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoAll it proves was that the dilemma itself is effective. The episode and its resolution are crap, because they don’t justify her decision. They leave it to the viewer. They do a disservice to everyone involved.
