Anika and Liz toast some marshmallows in the Atrium's brand new open fireplace (Nus Braka: Interior Decorator) and discuss the first season finale of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, "Rubincon".
- A finale where the good guys don't fire a single shot, and where we apply the lessons learned through the whole season
- Stakes? Too high? Just high enough? Is Star Trek actually good at telling small scale stories?
- "What is Starfleet?" Caleb finally gives Anika a satisfying answer.
- A handsome, arrogant guy with neglectful parents and a crush on a Klingon? Darem has been Tom Paris all along!
- Nus is too solipsistic and misogynistic to realise that Anisha isn't on his side
- Anisha was never the villain, but she is an antagonist, and with good reason
- Nahla, Anisha and restorative justice
- Nahla punching Nus: ma'am, you do not get to have little a police brutality as a treat, that felt ill-considered and out of character
