That opening scene will be talked about a lot. But damn, that was a bleak episode.

Also, will IDW be publishing a one-shot or graphic novel of that comic?

    It did look like a fun read.

    Definitely a darker episode. I thought it was a bit of a mixed bag, but I enjoyed the Ake/Braka development.

    I have to admit, I didn't expect them to kill off a (guest star) cadet. Earlier in the episode, I'd been thinking about how nice it's been that they've kept the supporting cast of cadets so consistent, but now we're down one. At least we still have the Delta Swallower.

    I didn't love the basic setup - using a derelict ship that people died on as a training ground didn't really sit well with me - but it was a decent story in that setting.

    I think using a real ship with experimental tech for the drill was certainly a response to how cadets should be trained in the time of post-Burn. However the Miyazaki was a contemporary ship; why did the comic book depict TOS era uniforms? Or did I miss a detail there?

    To me it gave "this is the best we can afford right now" vibes. They clearly can afford better, but that was my impression of the message they were trying to send.
