MODERATORS
I would have liked M'benga's ending monologue to be less final. Instead of "things break, we fix them, but they'll break again," even just leaving it as a question-- "can we ever truly fix these things?" would feel like it leaves more room for hope and redemption in the future.
I interpreted that a bit differently, but I definitely see what you mean. I got, "The biobed/M'Benga needs some extra maintenance, but that's fine since it/he can always be fixed up." The overall darkness of the episode and the ambiguity of the ending makes that fuzzy, though.
I hope that this is the middle part of a three episode arc, like with Una's modifications and trial. If there's a part 3 I think it will end more positively, but we'll have to wait and see.
Oooh—good pt!
Could be foreshadowing!!! I am not tracking the significance of the busted sick bay but I’m sure there is something there!
