I think Under the Cloak of War has broken into my top 10 episodes of all time.
Seeing Chapel and M’Benga’s struggle with having the Klingon responsible for one of the most traumatic moments in their life aboard the ship was tough to watch.
The performances from Jess Bush and Babs Olusanmokun were absolutely perfect in conveying their deep hatred for man they are being told by Starfleet is now an ally.
I wasn’t a fan of M’Benga but after today he, along with Chapel are possibly my favourite characters on the show. I still can’t got on board with Ortegas though, sorry.
I don’t know about best.
But the highest praise I could give it is that it reminded me of In the Pale Moonlight.
Also, Bunny was awesome.
Who is Bunny?

Ah thanks. I haven’t watched the Wire, so I didn’t get the reference.
