Same here, I think it’s because the makeup wasn’t that gross/realistic.

I tried watching walking dead, but the very first zombie just completely turned me off. But these ones didn’t bother me at all, I even watched it at 1AM right before bed lol
 
At least they kept the Klingon makeup closer to TNG than Disco.

Zombie episode.

I do find the young Scotty development interesting. He's definitely apprenticing from Pelia.
 
I had just commented on another post that what Spock saw in the mind meld with Batel doesn't appear to be a Gorn, and the above screenshot gallery has a good shot of it. :vulcan:
 
Just rewatching this. Commander Chin - Riley looks stupid making all the wrong decisions on the bridge, just to set up a situation with Ortegas. The landing party would be dead if not for Ortegas. I would not want to serve under her, she prefers sticking to border rules over the life of her crewmates. :shifty:

You'd be kicked out of starfleet pretty darn fast

Uh no, they were on their way to the Klingon shuttle, they would of been fine.

The needs of the many.

Ortegas is in no way, shape or form to be seen as the "hero" of this scenario. She deliberately provoked a confrontation with a hostile force and unnecessarily put the lives of every single one of her crewmates at risk over a situation that would had resolved itself had she just obeyed orders.

It's kind of like if Ro had unilaterally decided to separate the saucer in Disaster or sabotaged the engineering console so it would be the only way just because she didn't know the situation was resolving.

Or if Hobson in Redemption decided nah I'm not going to bring the torpedoes back online because of the radiation and the Romulan convoy would have gotten through.

Both instances just like here with Ortegas trusting the chain of command was vital. Admittedly the one with Redemption is a bit less clear cut as Data had to violate his own orders but he was CO of the Sutherland so in the context of one ship it holds.

The point is taking matters into your own hands is dangerous and 2 people are not worth an interstellar war.

Yep. Ortegas was completely out of line. Una's going real easy on her.

In Ro's defence, Troi waited too long. It was a bad decision that came good due to luck, a bit like NuKirk's plan in Star Trek '09, where the plan was dependent on so many unknown factors such Nero planning to travel at an implausibly slow speed, coming in at one angle, not having shields up (sensible thing would have been to deactivate them just as the drill was activated, since anyone on the planet would have been able to beam troops on board before that).

O'Brien calculated the safe distance and how long it would take to reach it. Troi had no evidence that anyone was alive to receive her message. I can't recall the exact technological limitations. There were probably reasons why they couldn't eject the core and use a tractor beam to push it to a safe distance.
