12 Monkeys s2e5 "Bodies of Water"

After finishing Fringe, decided to watch 12 Monkeys, since writer/director Terry Matalas wrote season 3 of Picard. Not to mention cramming the 3 male leads into various parts. Most notably Todd Stashwick (Deacon) as Captain Shaw. Unsurprisingly, Matalas is doing similar with his work on VisionQuest. Better than expected so far.

I get what you're going for, but lets not do DS9 a disservice. "Hard Time" was literally and figuratively dark as fuck. He nearly vaporized himself on the promenade because he didn't know how to live with the guilt of his virtual murder.

    Those episodes were a rare exception, not the rule. They worked because it wasn’t normally like that. That reservation, and Star Trek’s episodic formula allowed you to skip them if necessary.

    A 30 second moment, that was resolved through the power of his friendship with Bashir and the love of his wives (Bashir and Keiko), and his coworker - Bashir, and he's fine next episode...

    ...Discovery would have trauma farmed the reprocussions for a whole season. I'm really glad there weren't any kids on that ship. Some shows I feel like I'm safe with and I can trust the writers. Discovery is not one of them.

    However, I've been enjoying Space Princinct on YouTube waaay too much, so maybe I'm just basic.
