lightofdayeEpisode 5 is a love letter to Ben Sisko.
Lots of good character work and fun stuff in this one. SAM's first focus story. Her bosses/creators are dicks though.
Written by and guest starring Tawny Newsome, writing yourself in as Dax... that's fanservice too far for me. Plus in Disco, a trill symbiote of similar age was dying of old age, so I didn't expect Dax to be still around.
OTOH, getting Cirroc Lofton back as Jake was amazing and very well integrated. Definitely liked his sequences.
I should have more to say about this. Oh the visual styling... someone liked Ms Marvel's style I guess?
And the Doctor. Poor guy, he's not dealing well with the centuries of loss. I hope this gets more exploration as the series goes on.
And I don't often say this but there's doesn't seem to be heterosexual explanation for Jay-Den and Kyle. Kyle's clearly into him. So gay love triangle with Jay-Den/Darem/Kyle? That's cool. I hope it's intentional and will be followed up on.
Don't really care about Caleb/betazed princess but at least it's moving forward.
I was expecting the ambassador thing with kelrec to be an elaborate prank/set up but nothing doing. Didn't really like the B Plot of feel it was necessary to be honest.
Overall, this one was fun and aside from glitter vomit not nearly as Lower Decky as I expected.
