which TOS episode would you like to see the Continues crew do

Agreed.

 

I like "Lolani" a lot (and as you say, it's the only STC episode with no direct ties to an older episode), but it's a bit "on the nose" as far as the "message." There's no subtext there, just in-your-face-text. As Arthur C. Clarke famously said, "If you've got a message, use Western Union."

Not that TOS didn't do this all the time.

 

If you can take "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" you can take anything.

 

"To expect sense from two mentalities of such extreme viewpoints, is not logical."

 

Watching the Yonadans reach their new home.
