First First Contact
The last episode of the second season. Cerritos
sets of to assist the USS Archimedes (an Obena class ship captained
by Sonya Gomez) with a first contact. In other news, Captain Freeman has
accepted a promotion, which has Mariner up in arms. But other things are also
happening, such as Rutherford having an error message cropping up in his implant.
Upon arrival at the system the Archimedes is hit by a meteoroid field that
knocks out their power. The solution, to strip the outer hull from Cerritos
to take it through the field, was inspired.
A few appropriately tense scenes. Cetacean Ops!
(reminding me of seaQuest DSV, with Darwin). The resolution to Rutherford’s
issue leaves a few questions. (Section 31? Or someone else?) But the ending!
Definitely seems out of nowhere, but it had been built up to. How Captain
Freeman’s name would be cleared is uncertain, but I can wait to find out. 9.45/10.
