Star Trek: Discovery: Kobayashi Maru (2021)
Season 4, Episode 1
5/10
4.01 Kobayashi Maru (Rewatch)

Warning: Spoilers
This episode had a lot of weaknesses, but ultimately isn't "terrible." The episode has moments of terrible dialogue and terrible situations. The situation at the beginning of the episode with the emperor was very weird, but could have worked much better if the episode was centered around it (and possibly the season).

Its strength is from a couple of characters and situations, including Tilly and the new Federation president, Laira Rillak. A couple of interesting premises are put on display, but few quickly grabbed my attention, instead turning me away with cheesy and uncomfortable dialogue.

The new Archer Spacedock provides the only amazing scene in this episode, with a few others scattered around. Those others come from the World Root Scene and the Voyager Captaincy scene.

I'll see if this season is better than I remember, but by watching this, I certainly have doubts.
