    Beckett managed to turn the tables on Locarno and Nova Fleet… without firing a single shot. That definitely helped her mother out in that she didn’t get chewed out for her actions on top of opening a dialogue with Orion.
    And that line from Beckett before the ending: “I feel like I’m really am back for the first time in a while.” That stuck with me, as did her declaration that she’ll try to avoid self-sabotage in the future. She’s finally taking steps towards her future, having made peace with Sito’s death. And quite possibly, we will see a slow return of the idealistic, wide-eyed person that she used to be, before Sito’s death and the Dominion War broke her down.
    But my heart definitely broke with Tendi’s departure. But I just know that she won’t be gone for long.

    The Boimler/Rutherford "he looks like Tom Paris" bit was hilarious. But I lost it when they re-did the TwinTwain bit and then at the end, they still don't like each other and are only civil when Twin Twaining.
    I thought the hiding in the asteroids was a nod to the asteroid scene from Empire Strikes Back - especially with the Romulan ship decloaking which is a similar sort of way Boba Fett hides in the junk that's dumped by the Star Destroyer.

    Captain Freeman's speech to the crew that she was flouting Star Fleet orders to go after Mariner, and every single crew member rallying behind her; I loved that moment so much. That scene brought out so many things. 1) Freeman pulled the kind of lower deck allegiance that Lacarno was only pandering to. 2) It showed us exactly where Mariner got her rebellious streak. 3) It demonstrated how any character of any rank can be the focal point of a scene, but the spirit of the scene is "Lower Decks".

    • @AdamEspersona

    22:56 Boimler was trusting his crew knew what to do. He didn’t need to manage them or do more so than just bark orders. He did nothing himself but lead. That’s how I read the scene. The Cerritos was yet another starship manned entirely by lower Deckers. All of the bridge crew went on the Captains yacht. Making the Cerritos on par with the ships of Nova Fleet. It’s amazing.

    They should've named this episode "The Wrath of Locarno", they practically remake "The Wrath of Khan" in this episode. I hoped Tendi absence in season 5 will be short, but I'm hoping that will have more T'Lyn focus episodes next season.

    • @Tuaron
      @Tuaron 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      While I hope it isn't too long, I want Tendi away from the Cerritos at least two or three episodes (unless the premiere focuses almost entirely on her) just so we can really dig into that situation and not squander a major status shift (it did feel a bit like that happened with the Boimler-joining-the Titan shift).

    • @Denflexi

      I think the only reason why they didn't was because they didn't want anyone catching up on the season to be spoiled by the twist. Though in a non-spoilery way, the title they chose was a great nod to Wrath of Khan.

    I felt like Boimler was there, not a higher ranked officer, for that seconds of confusion from the fleet, if Ransom was there the admiral would have known him, gone straight to the point but putting an 'unknown' officer in the chair with no one there as a landmark, when the villain plot was calling for mutinies, gives either side contracting the ritos, a second of not knowing, that they need for the plan?

    Interestingly, during the flashback, we can see that just prior to the fateful events of “The First Duty”, Mariner was a second-year cadet, as indicated by the two pips on her collar.
    Meaning that due to that episode’s events, she and Sito ended up in the same grade. Sito still graduated ahead of her, which means that Mariner would have been fresh out of the academy as well upon hearing about Sito’s death.
    And then 2-3 years later… the Dominion War.

    About Boimler being in command, this has precedent. Ignoring silliness if Tilly as first officer, leaving a Lt JG command was lifted directly from TNG. In the Arsenal of Freedom, Picard specifically leaves Geordi, who as a Lt JG and at the helm, in command. It even causes friction with the chief engineer. Boimler was at the helm and was left in charge by Freeman. Keep in mind that she also wanted someone that would surprise Command when they tried to order them to turn around.

      Just like many other Rules of Acquisition, it reifies the duality of the worker-boss relationship - simultaneously presenting as tips for climbing the business ladder for underlings, and as tips for repressing workers for the bosses.
      They've certainly never shied-away from admitting the exploitative nature of their business dealings! "We don't want to end the exploitation, we want to become the exploiters"; after all.

    Aw man this was a great if bittersweet finale that did what a good season finale did by calling back, continuing, and wrapping up earlier season plot points. Really does feel like the end yet beginning with a number of plot and character moments. As far as finales go this can easily be a contender for LD's best one I think.
    Am mixed on Locarno's full turn to villainy. On paper his motivation makes sense but the fact is that he got into this situation because of his own ego and fault for getting Cadet Albert killed. Then again I suppose his motivation makes sense to himself like many villains. Him getting his own planet named after him and getting to perform the starburst in that explosion is fittingly poetically iffy and questionably validating.

    I Swear, when I saw that last Scene with Tendi at the end I just went "Oh, that look tells me she intends to Work her way up the Orion Ladder, Become Boss again, then Fire herself to get back to HER Crew". Like that Confident Smirk Tells me she KNOWS she can pull it off... Either that or she's gonna Starfleet up the Orion Ships so much that they're gonna BEG her to leave...

    This episode was so good and felt like a star trek season finale and story arc. I loved all the throw backs- starting with the opening narator . The captain going against orders and announcing it to the crew for them all to join. Boimler nailing it as acting captain .. i love all the character growth for everyone .. soo good!

    I get where you're coming from with anarchy but I don't think it can ever reach a stable equilibrium. A power structure will always arise from it.
