STRANGE NEW WORLDS s2e8 "Under the Cloak of War"
🕑 Added 2023-07-27 22:59:15 +0000 UTCWe know, we know - most of you hated our "Those Old Scientists" coverage - and believe us, we feel terrible! In this week's lengthy (even for us) hailbag we hear all the different perspectives from the crew in an actually sober, sane, even-tempered discussion (we think), with lots of funny bits thrown out by you guys (in addition to some acid thrown our way, as well as kind support of our rights to be sour jerks). If you chose to bypass this incident and move onto episode 8, we begin the discussion at around 1:22 (!). Yep, wanted to make sure everybody had their say.
In other news, we feared the musical episode was next and we were about to lose our Patrons altogether, but it turned out to be a deep, dark, moving, super-cool meditation on the horrors of war, with frontline Starfleet medical action, great emotional conflicts for all the characters, and M'Benga just generally continuing his ascendancy to being one Star Trek's most complex, charismatic, badass characters. Does Matt wish he had a "M'Benga in the Sonic Shower" Lego playset? Yes.

What if The Butcher of J'Gal was so named not because of the killing of women and children, and not just because he killed his own men, but for the surgical mutilation of the bodies of the Klingon commanders? Horrible to think, but what if M'Benga went waay too far in killing that all that was left was chunks of people in his wake?
Wait, didn’t the biobed 2 flickering at the end suggest that mbenga put a copy of ral in the transport pattern buffer? Presumably to keep him alive, like the child soldier who got the patch job told us the Klingons wouldn’t let him die
