Star Trek: The Latter Fire
{4.5/5} “We are captains, and with command comes the implicit truth that we must balance lives against lives, with each order we give… I have done so in the past and I carry the scar that does not heal. I do not need to ask you if you have done the same. I know you […]
Star Trek ENT: Patterns of Interference
{4.5/5} “Do we presume we have the right — and the wisdom — to intervene in the lives of other beings we may not fully understand? Or do we default to granting them the same primacy over the lives that we insist upon for our own?” Star Trek: Enterprise — Rise of the Federation: Patterns […]
Star Trek: Enterprise — Live by the Code
{5/5} “Mayweather… tried to imagine wanting the experience he’d undergone inside the Ware, believing it was necessary and just.

Star Trek: Enterprise — A Choice of Futures
{4.5/5} “Reluctantly at first, not without anger… but we talked, and after a while we started to listen. And that paved the way for more of us to be willing to talk, and to listen. And both our peoples began to understand that what we hated each other for was far in the past, no […]
Star Trek: Enterprise — To Brave the Storm
{4.5/5} “Home wasn’t usually far from his mind, but on this day of all days — Valentine’s Day marked not only the fourth anniversary of the successful resolution of the Xindi crisis, but also the passage of three years since his ‘death’ aboard Enterprise — he was particularly aware of the immense gulf that separated […]
