A note about episode discussions on startrek.website
Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.
What I hope for with M’Benga and Chapel is that we’ll get to see some consequences of using that super soldier drug. Like, it has bad health effects, but M’Benga is like the traumatized soldier who can’t sleep without a knife or gun under his pillow in case he’s attacked (Chapel remarks that he carries the green stuff with him). It could be used really well to portray several different trauma/addiction issues. Now we wait to see how they handle it.
