    Since it hasn't aired internationally yet.

    All I will say is. You're in for an excellent episode. It seems like things are really coming together in Season 2.

    Really enjoyed the episode. Especially Tilly's t-shirt at the beginning that had DISCO on the front. Smile

    They Mentioned "Control" at the end, which got me all "oooooooo!!!" I've read all the Section 31 based Novels and Control has led Section 31 since just before Enterprise NX-01 was launched

    I'm not even sure what to think about this episode in all honesty.

    There are a few things that just made me be like "what?".. Also Section 31 is common knowledge now, so thats a thing.

    I don't know how I feel about this episode. Also, everyone knows about Section 31 and a black badge.

    I guess the only thing I found interesting in this whole episode was the focus on Tilly's Command Officer exam, which got weird after a huge ass fungus was extracted from her body.

    Yea, idk.
