- TriviaUna mentions that "Ad Astra Per Aspera" was the motto of Starfleet before the founding of the Federation. The insignia for Starfleet Command, on both arm patches and flags, on Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) consisted of a yellow arrowhead on a blue round star background, which was framed by a thick gray inner border and a thin red outer border. Inside the gray border, there were more white stars and the Latin words "Ad Astra Per Aspera".

Spock: Yes, I did get the sense that she was hiding something?
Captain Batel: What was she hiding?
Spock: An affinity for Gilbert and Sullivan musicals.

Featured review
One of the best Trek episodes I have seen in 25 years.
I agree with the decision to not open with this episode as it is 100% talking and the general audience does need a more action oriented episode to start off the season with.
With this episode we get to see the core philosophies of Gene Roddenberry's world questioned and held up against itself.
There is a danger in allowing oneself to come to the belief that the reasons for your decisions are absolute and shouldn't be requestioned, that's exactly what this episode brought to the modern iteration of Star Trek in a way that Discovery constantly faltered.
The question every Starfleet officer should ask themselves is are my actions in line with the intent of the law, not just the word of it.
It was wordy, but within those words was a well thought out story that hit to the core of what many of us believe Star Trek is.
