 (First watched 2023-07-27) This is... gray. Maybe the most DS9-ish episode since DS9? Seemed built very much like something about Kira and Cardassians would be, but here it's M'Benga and Chapel (mostly) and the Klingons. So much is gray it's hard for me to say I liked the episode, though. M'Benga ends up stabbing a damn dude to death, but we're left both unclear about how exactly the fight went down, and what exactly the Klingon general/ambassador's true motivations were.

+(First watched 2023-08-04) Wow. The sci-fi reasoning for things turning into a musical was paper-thin, but how much do you need to have a good time? They really swung for it and for the most part it worked. Again, like with Those Old Scientists, a goofy episode idea still furthered the continuing stories of much of the crew. And holy shit, those Klingons.
+Chapel definitively ready to move on from Spock... man, that recontextualizes things. Not just a past relationship, but in TOS Spock can now be seen as the jilted ex who is especially unreceptive to her advances.
+And... Jim Kirk was back. No, they can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar. How much will they stretch this in future seasons?
