What an interesting episode idea, combining Gattaca with some sort of Federation meltdown over the societal practices. I enjoyed S02E02 quite a bit, and would like to see more of these “tough situations” for the UFOP to be challenged on. In this episode, Pike chooses a side, but acknowledges that he shouldn’t have to pick, that the ideals the Federation espouses are still subject to deep, deep misunderstanding or fear.

I’ve been catching up on Star Trek shows for the past few years, starting with TOS and running all the way through Discovery’s timeline hop. It’s been neat to see how the Federation responds to different things as you watch the agency age and the story’s canon coalesce.
