Growing up watching star trek it was always utopian. Seeing life within the federation and now to see the dirty gritty underbelly where things aren't quite so perfect. I enjoyed the episode. My heart did break as icheb who was this adorable young person (especially when he thought b'lana was flirting with him) met a horrible end. It's different but who wants the same old star trek over and over? I like 7of9's character development. I love old trek and I love this trek.
