A pretty solid finale to a pretty excellent season.

I liked a lot of it - Reno and the cadets having to solve the problem using their wits alone, Nus Braka's ridiculous show trial, and the ultimate resolution of de-weaponizing the minefield (which one would think has long-term implications, if they've truly found a way to permanently stabilize Omega). The cast was stellar, which we've come to expect at this point.

I'm not completely satisfied with the resolution of the individual story arcs. I don't think we got enough of Sam 2.0 for her inner conflict to really land, and while I assume ther and Genesis' made-up language is a callback to something, but I honestly don't remember it clearly. And I thought Anisha came around to Nala and the Federation too quickly at the end - I would have liked to have seen her a little angstier in that final scene.

The overall theme of the season has been identity, and choosing who you want to be. The cadets all went through that coming-of-age process, but so did the Doctor, and arguably Ake as well. I do hope we get to know Genesis better in season two, and Darem deserves more as well.

And I do hope they find Ocam - I assume he wandered off into the woods or something after episode 8.

I suspect he actually followed orders and went down to Betazed last episode like he was supposed to.
