Playing catchup on all the TV I missed during the pinched nerve thing. Finally saw SNW's Under The Cloak of War.

It feels really relevant to things currently going on my life, with me trying to be Pike, working with the Klingon Ambassador, but having folks like M'Benga/Chapel all around me.

I would hope I fare better in this. Unlike the Klingon, I'm not trying to be a saint, or a savior. Just trying to do the right thing for everyone. But I know everyone will not be pleased with what I'm trying to do.

I'm glad I didn't see this until now. I really kinda needed to.
