Meh, didn't really care for this episode. The wedding stuff would have interested me more if we were already more invested in Darem and his culture, but there is too much going on at the same time (lore-wise).
As for the academy stuff, don't know. Considering Giamatti is in this show, I hoped Genesis, Caleb and Reno would do a The Holdovers, but the entire premise falls flat. Again, too much in one episode. Genesis is first about to be recommended into that Captains program and in the same episode not. Wish this would have been more of a storyline between episodes.
After I thoroughly enjoyed the past episodes this is the weakest episode of the series so far to me.
Yeah, I liked the episode, nothing felt out of place in individual scenes, but you're right it does feel like they were trying to fit too much story into too little time. There's like four B-plots in there.
Yeah each scene works for itself, but together it doesn't create something that has anything to say. Every plot point has been seen somewhere else already, so it's not like there'd be any big surprises.
I think Darem's story suffers most. It's ironic if his bride says "Jay-Den talks about a side of yours I have never seen" if they all talk about a Darem we have never seen before. Not sure what the authors were thinking in this episode.
Oh, what Kaira means is that back on Khionia, Darem was really quiet and dutiful and selfless. Starfleet is the first place he's felt cocky enough to be an asshole.
It doesn't make any sense.
