What in the world would the benefit of not "letting them off the hook" be...?

Why is the fish so much bigger than one human, but smaller than the other?

You would assume perspective, but the humans appear to be at the same depth and the same size.

You know, you just reminded me of the episode of Enterprise where the Ferrengi took over the ship. And I was surprised how much I enjoyed (most of) it, and thought the first act where they didn't bother giving the Ferrengi subtitlea, everything was communicated without the benefit of dialog.

I'm sure everyone else hated it, especially because of some of the weak plot points and how there wasn't supposed to be any contact with the Ferrengi for 200 years and because everyone hates Enterprise.

On the other hand, it had Jeffrey Combs.

I have to say, I tried really hard but holy crap was the "in your face-ness" of it a problem for me and one of like 5 reasons I can't stand it.

It's definitely not any of the concepts, etc. Good to see diverse, women-strong, etc casts and plots. But a lot of it was written A) incredibly poorly, like to try to appeal to middle schoolers, B) it couldn't stop telling us REALLY LOUD and artificially how progressive it was, and it was jarring and annoying.

Edit: and I'd argue they dropped nearly all of the progressive parts of, say TNG. Or, like, where adults acted like grownups.

With few exceptions, they're also supposed to also have mastered their emotions very handily. Partly fue to exceptional biology. Not absolutely constantly be on the verge of breaking into tears or a rage, a la Enterprise.

I mean, even the plaintiff thinks it was an accident.

OK, but it's mostly the peoples' fault.

In theory it's both. But mostly the leverage one.

Keiko is the worst villain in the entire Alpha quadrant.

That is all.
