I was legitimately upset the moment I saw La’An beam down because this was only gonna go one way.

Finally an Ortegas episode that isn’t a simple “I fly the ship.”

I don’t get the general praise of the episode, to me it felt terrible. The whole episode didn’t make any damn sense. It was terribly written from start to finish. Oh yeah sure, of all the things that could have burned it was the rations. “You are now a water condenser”. Oh, you conveniently still have parts of the heat shield of your ship! No, of course we won’t still die of heat directly under it with holes in it when the fucking atmosphere is on fire. Oh and what are we even going to breathe after said atmosphere has gone poof? Who cares, we all knew lizard lady was going to get killed anyway.

Honestly, if writing on this level is enough to become a Star Trek writer, maybe I should start writing my own stories.
