Been waiting for this and positively leapt for my remote when I saw the notification 😌 This season genuinely just gets better and better.

This is kind of a weird episode because it almost takes place in real time in one location. Not much happens. I think the episode was needed but I was worried about how it would play out as a week to week watcher vs a binger. Especially after last week’s episode had so much excitement. We did get Tahini’s flashback though, which was great (well, not great for her).

Love this episode! Love finally seeing Tahani's cause-of-death flashback and that she literally died being crushed by everyone's idolatry for her sister. I guess this is kind of a bottle episode, but it's incredibly important. After Michael's proposal at the end of last episode, we desperately need to see the humans discuss and mull over the risks and implications of teaming up with him. The time crunch gives the episode all the tension it needs, especially since we know what happens if they don't take this chance.

It's interesting that the show will dare spend a whole episode with basically exposition and set-up. Of course, they do it in a terribly entertaining way, but I would have expected that they will insist that they will have to break this up to smaller chunks, and show, not tell, or whatever. But they did, and I'm happy for it.

I think I'd be okay with a screwy afterlife if it got me on a team with Ted Danson and D'arcy Carden, tbh

Bottle episodes are often my favorites for any show (take your pick - Parks and Rec, Community, Star Trek: DS9), and this one is no exception. I love that an episode as integral to the plot as this one all basically takes place in a single room, and is as much about how our characters are dealing with the circumstances as much as how it moves the plot forward. Team Cockroach is born of fear, distrust, and animosity, but also hope, wrestling with one's inner demons, and embracing the challenge of becoming better. It's everything great about this show in a nutshell.

Agree with everything you said about how important this episode is to having the audience buy that the humans would willingly team up with Michael. Also, the fact that the writers went to the effort of having the characters themselves game out the scenarios went a long way towards giving me the confidence that they knew what they were doing (and where they were going). It's nice when the writers demonstrate that they also thought of everything running through your mind as you watch.

My answer for the debate of like vs Picard is the Sisko. What ds9 episodes wwere you thinking of?

"Duet" is the big one. One of the best-written and best-acted episodes of television I've ever seen, and one that brings tears to my eyes every time, even 20 years after I first watched it.

I'm ready to go right now, where do I sign??? (If you've seen A League of Their Own, I unintentionally did a Kit impression there when the scout came around lol).
