Strange New Worlds 2x08 was one of the best Star Trek episodes ever

I think Under the Cloak of War has broken into my top 10 episodes of all time.

Seeing Chapel and M’Benga’s struggle with having the Klingon responsible for one of the most traumatic moments in their life aboard the ship was tough to watch.

The performances from Jess Bush and Babs Olusanmokun were absolutely perfect in conveying their deep hatred for man they are being told by Starfleet is now an ally.

I wasn’t a fan of M’Benga but after today he, along with Chapel are possibly my favourite characters on the show. I still can’t got on board with Ortegas though, sorry.

Efwis,

One of the things I liked is that it really shows a bigger perspective about chapel and M’Benga’s relationship. They have worked together for quite a bit, but that wasn’t really even touched on in season one

This gave them a more human outtake on ptsd that a lot of bill our vets feel now
