lightofdayeEpisode 4 -that really was a strong episode.
I again, like episode 2, wonder about the solution a bit. 1 hour episode on global affairs have the effect of being a bit pat, to whit: No klingons are going to sus out that the federation let them win and be insulted? And the flip side you're encouraging them in a conqueror's take what you want mindset can cause trouble down the line.
But Jay-Den's backstory and current struggle were all very well done, as I was hoping for. I think it did a good balance in both sides have a point. Caleb's only accidentally being a dick and there disagreement is... honest, so to speak?
I am glad Jay-den got Lura in a mentor to role to get a slightly different side of her and a tantalising glimpse of her backstory.
I do hope he gets more non-klingon related spotlight episodes as well though.
Some trivial observations:
* Shit ton of continuity nods to an almost distracting level.
* Jay-den's accent on klingon words differs from how they were pronounced in the B&B era I think. I wonder if it's closer to Okrand's original or not. I don't mind either way, linguistic drift over the centuries after all
