I think that might've been the best SNW episode so far. Great guest role, all-round incredible performances from the regulars. Babs absolutely smashed it, obviously. Not going to go all out and say it's one of the top Trek episodes full stop till I've had time to think, but right now I can't think of many better ones!

This is SNW's Duet. If it marks a similar increase in quality, then SNW is going to be amazing.

Yeah, I couldn't stop thinking about DS9's Duet with this episode. Lots of comparisons, though I think there was a lot more grey-ish morality in the SNW world. War is complicated and it sucks for everyone involved.
