Trivia
Clint Howard (Creepy Orion) previously played Balok in The Corbomite Maneuver (1966), Grady in Past Tense, Part II (1995) and Muk in Acquisition (2002).

Goofs
Early in the episode, Georgiou said she was giving the Federation an advantage in the war. She says "us," but her mouth says "them."

Quotes
Michael Burnham: We are no longer on the eve of battle. Even so, I come to ask myself the same question that young soldier asked the general all those years ago: "How do I defeat fear?" The general's answer: "The only way to defeat fear is to tell it 'No'." No - we will not take shortcuts on the path to righteousness. No - we will not break the rules that protect us from our basest instincts. No - we will not allow desperation to destroy moral authority. I am guilty of all these things. Some say that in life, there are no second chances. Experience tells me that this is true. But we can only look forward. We have to be torchbearers, casting the light so we may see our path to lasting peace. We will continue exploring, discovering new worlds, new civilizations. Yes - that is the United Federation of Planets... Yes - that is Starfleet... Yes, that is who we are... And who we will always be.

5/10

A very downletting conclusion to Season 1

No need to mince words: After such a dynamic start to the second part of the season, and the episodes which built the suspense even further, I was just expecting a more relate-able episode, one which wrapped things up more cleverly and with much more finesse. Alas, that unfortunately was not what was waiting for us in the end.

In short, this was a mediocre episode, with a very lazy and unsatisfactory ending. Theatrics were there, yes, but not the story, and certainly not a proper conclusion. It was as if the writing was rushed and so was the production. Shame, really.
