Star Trek Social Club

Another excellent episode from SFA. Honestly for me the show is firing on all cylinders.

• The opening intimacy between Terima and Caleb was the right combination of sensual and sweet for me. I liked that more attention was paid to the "pillow talk" afterwards with Terima's story about her experience with a Deltan and Caleb's reaction to it
• I also feel like the end of this scene shows Caleb's character growth a bit. We understand why he reacted the way he did to Terima suddenly seeing his childhood. Yes he's an ass at first as the defenses instinctively trigger, but I like that he quickly stands down and realizes (as Terima is leaving) that he messed up and one of the first things he says to her when they get back into contact is an apology. I don't think we would have seen that, or at least as quickly, from Episode 1 Caleb.
• Caleb rooms with Ocam, right? I don't care how supportive Ocam is of Terima's relationship with Caleb, that had to be an awkward conversation when Caleb asked for the room for the night. Or maybe Betazoids are more open about that kind of thing, they do have naked weddings sooo... Idk
• Nooo! ~~Bobby!~~ B'avi!
• The Kyle/Jay-Den ship is sailing along I see
• I like how the officers on the bridge let the cadets help and didn't shove them aside when shit hit the fan.
• Paul Giamatti and Holly Hunter were just absolutely amazing this episode. They are both multiple award winning performers and they showed it here. Giamatti in particular is chewing the scenery all over the place. It takes a great actor to make a great villain and Giamatti doesn't disappoint here. I genuinely hate Braca after this episode.
• Terima thinks Caleb is going to hate her after she went all psychic Black Canary. I don't think so, I think Caleb (after all the trauma resolves and Terima gets out of a coma) is going to be like "My girlfriend is BADASS"
