Lt. Erica Ortegas finally gets the spotlight she deserves, and the result is nothing short of exceptional. Melissa Navia brings her to life with striking humanity, humor, and pathos. The script and direction stand among the finest that Star Trek has offered in years, delivering both tension and heart. By the closing moments, I found myself unexpectedly moved. It has left a far deeper impact than I anticipated. This is top-tier Star Trek.
